Half Machine Lip Moves logo with ‘#229’ on it.

We’re back after a few weeks off! We warmed up with some fresh new tracks. Then Operator OT got a bit lazy and played the tracks that were in his DJ sets at the last Club Nevermore, plus a few extras to pad it out. Then we closed with a mix of shoegaze, experimental, comfy synth, and ambient tracks.
