Mixcloud #16 Uplifting
Again an uplifting mix, but with not so much focus on speed this time.

Do you also get all excited by the opening tunes of Metallica’s “Ride The Lightning”? That is of course because a great opening track comes after. So what if after these initial guitar tunes another track set in? Here’s a little fun.
It has been quite a few years since I was looking for electropunk type music and on a peer-to-peer network found a folder (playlist) called “A Modern Mutants Handbook”. It contained electropunk, but also weird and chaotic guitar music. Later I learned that this “noiserock” has a base in the short lived Nowave scene from the 1970’ies New York. Actually a lot of music has a base in this scene and thus in my playlist you find no only Sonic Youth, but also Swans and Foetus. The cover of the playlist is of a documentary made about the scene.
My “High Energy” playlist on Spotify is great (to me), but much longer than my first mix with the same name on Mixcloud. So I made another one. We start with rock, go to metal and slowly moved towards electronic music. I put some more focus on music that is not available on Spotify, but also added some very well-known pop music for good measure. Enjoy.
I love the early releases of 2nd Gen. Very dirty, noisy techno. For many, many years I have been looking for more noisy techno, without much succes. Here is the current harvest.
Crazy, extreme techno music. Much for, but not too longer in one take. Here you have an hour.
I like some ‘goth’, old or new. Probably a playlist like there are many on Mixcloud, but I enjoyed compiling this.
For some reason extreme music gets much more interesting to me when there are vocals. I am more of the “death industrial” side of noise music, so this is what you will find here mostly.
I wanted to make a list with industrial music that is not available on big streaming platforms such as Spotify and I thought about this British label. They have got some excellent music. Check it out.
There is a danceable / light version of industrial. Well, not always so light. Not “rhythmic noise”, but more ‘lightfooted’ than much industrial. Here is a playlist with that kind of industrial.
