Gina X ‘Greatest Fits’ review in @thewiremagazine.bsky.social Vocalist Gina Kikoine holds court like a Patrick Nagel valkyrie in a gay biker bar, while electro-prog producer Zeus B Held knits slinky, vocoder-seeded downtempo tracks that exude a spiky eroticism. ginax.bandcamp.com
Remembering Brandy Dalton of Drance who passed away from AIDS-related illness on August 4, 2006, after battling with the disease for 17 years. We reissued his Fallen Angel soundtrack, from woozy ambient textures to chuggy techno skronk, somewhere in between British Murder Boys & Twin Peaks...
Love the fusion of the sleazier elements of darkwave with the Gothic end of cumbia. Reminds me a lot of the sweaty backroom parties in East LA that my tios would talk about as the nirvana of the 90s. - Gabriel Lopez on Edgar ‘Pavor’ edgar-mx.bandcamp.com/album/pavor
In a new blog, Will Seagers continues his story of his return to NYC in the '90s, with a new job and relationship. bijouworld.com/Gay-History/...

…people are still dying of AIDS because they have no access to medical care… even though one pill a day could offer them a “normal” life expectancy!
David Wonarowicz died of AIDS and government neglect thirty-four years ago today. @WojFound 📸 William Dobbs photograph of David Wojnarowicz’s jacket; ‘If I die of AIDS, forget burial – drop my body on the steps of the FDA”

Today marks 17 years of Dark Entries Records, what a journey this has been! Grateful to still be here, sharing music we love ❤️ Thank you for the support that keeps us going. Extra special love to all the talented artists we’ve been fortunate to work with 💕
We’re now in the LAST FIVE DAYS of our Kickstarter fundraising campaign… and we’re just $8000 shy of hitting our stretch goal to strike a brand new 35mm print of PUMPING IRON II: THE WOMEN. Join nearly 700 others and help support independent film preservation: www.kickstarter.com/projects/mus...
Edgar works primarily in the milieu of dark-hued synth-pop which he occasionally spikes with light dashes of cumbia but all of it is a little sinister, a little sexy, and a little surreal. Pavor is come-on music for the android disco. bandcamp.substack.com/p/cool-band-...
Darlynn is an Oakland-based duo composed of Daria Lourd (aka Bored Lord) & her wife, vocalist Jaelynn Walls. On Dyke Den, Darlynn display their influences – from Janet Jackson & Sly, to Frankie Knuckles & Larry Levan – in a sophisticated & queered fashion. darlynn-music.bandcamp.com/album/dyke-den

A stark club document from 1984 that still cuts deep. 'Our Darkness' is mechanical rhythms spoken with steely poise by Anne Clark in a way that captures alienation, heartbreak & late-night city unease, while David Harrow drives it forward with pounding drum machines & shadowy synth arpeggios
a super-minimal sound that pre-dates yet perfectly defines the isolationist ambient tag. Pure Motorised Instinct ‘At last I'm leaving the earth' puremotorisedinstinct.bandcamp.com
Dark Entries chart Italian band Polaroid’s transition from melancholy new wave to darker industrial pop with reissue of their 1984 debut. RIYL Sisters of Mercy, The Cure, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry polaroid-italy.bandcamp.com/album/senza-...

A pervasive sense of gloom, claustrophobia, and a unique, sleep-inducing atmosphere runs through every track; Jarvis’s digital synthesizer melodies speak to the listener… fans of late-era Coil & Selected Ambient Works Volume II. puremotorisedinstinct.bandcamp.com/album/at-last-i-m-leaving-the-earth
