Dark Times, Glimmering Hope
3 hrs and 32 minutes!

Marathon set back here in the BASSment for another Friday Throwdown. Had a rough few weeks here as my day job was enduring impending layoffs. Fortunate for myself, I was spared, but many near me on my team and folks I worked with were affected. It was not great. It did not feel celebratory to play music the past few weeks. But.. need to get back up to sharing music with folks and had some decent mini conversations with friends during the set.

This set hit similar territory… early 90s and 80s biz… but for the last hour or so…. I broke into a full Detriti Records label showcase (2 hrs 25 min mark). I had just ordered the entire vinyl catalog that was available as I’m a cheapskate when it comes to buying records. I need the best deal. Buying them all.. records were like $10 a piece. Looking at prices on Discogs they are almost all going for more than $20 a pop. The most satisfying part of this as the folks that were still hanging on listening at this point didn’t drop out cause the music was unfamiliar. I consider that a win. But the reason why I’m enjoying this label so much is for several points

  • Label Art is punk rock, duo tone, low tech, grunge for the most part. It’s a specific visual aesthetic, Davide Lace, the label boss is going for.
  • Low-fi retro mastering. Releases initially started out as cassette tape runs (guts!)
  • Manage to scour the globe for numerous NEW ACTS embodying 80s New Wave, Goth, Synthwave, Coldwave, Indie, EBM & Industrial vibes. Acts signed are from Eastern Europe, Belarus, Germany, France, Belgium, Montreal, Columbia, LA & NYC to name a few locations
  • Lyrics in multitude of languages I do not understand, but the grit and melodies are there. Sometimes a bit pretentious, but hoping it is largely tongue in cheek.
  • Simple Basic Music. Raw As F*ck!

As always, I try to provide the video and audio recording of the show along with the Tracklist… enjoy.
