Half Machine Lip Moves logo with ‘#246’ on it.

We began this show with a batch of new darkwave, post-punk, industrial, etc. tracks. The second block featured an interview with KMFDM’s Sascha Kontiezko, courtesy of our friends at the Shadow Transmission Podcast. (Many thanks to Sean from Shadow Transmission for allowing us to feature this interview!) The third block was a mix of industrialized techno, juke/footwork, and synthwave. We followed that with a block of industrialized techno. The fifth block was a special winter-themed set, and we finished the show with a set of experimental and ambient tracks.
