ALMOST THREE DECADES OF FAV. SOUNDS...
...The New Wave/Romantic movement emerged in the UK in the early 80s as a direct backlash against the austerity of the Punk scene. At various times it became a catch-all term for quite disparate bands working within the pop world. Where Punk railed against life, the New Romantics celebrated glamour, primping and covering with ostentatious clothes. Hedonism was at its peak...
The use of video as a promotional tool was important to the development of the New Wave/Romantic movement as were the creative haircuts, the puffy shirts and the fact that men could be seen wearing mascara. Guitars, though present, were subordinate to synthesizers...
The early years..
...The term "Gothic" for music was hovering around in 1979, and there were signs of an emerging musical movement by early 1981, when Abbo from UKDecay inadvertently tagged it "gothic", but goth as an identifiable movement in terms of both music and fashion didn't really appear till 1982. In July of that same year, Batcave opened: not only was this a major rallying-point for the London scene, but it attracted a lot of media attention, which in turn spread the idea of a new subculture around the UK. In the wake of the Batcave, similar clubs opened around the country, and the Batcave itself went "on tour", giving goths outside London somewhere to gather...
The early 80s were the most original moments of EBM. Although constantly overshadowed by DM and other acts, EBM sound grew in strength and eventually gathered its own followers. Front 242 led the movement, influencing and creating a whole new era and school of Electronics: Frontline Assembly, Ministry, Skinny Puppy, KMFDM, Nitzer Ebb.

Why do we search outside, if the real power comes from within, ergo..
Living abroad for an extended period of time has given me a different perspective of life and deep appreciation for what this country, not the politicians, has to offer.
The GOTHIC EBM NEW WAVE/ROMANTIC scene is a great part of my concious life. I began Djing at an early age, 14, at Bond International in NYC following years later Mission club and some parties, but my serious djing "run" was in Europe. Owning and managing clubs like The Krypt, Kiev, Clorum.. gave me the tools to freely express myself and be CREATIVE. I have dj'd and visited many festivals and clubs over the past 25 years...

Lost in the stream Goth/New Wavers, DJs, Bands, listeners of
and affiliates, people that adore old & new school Gothic Rock, New Wave, New Romantic, good Electro Dark, Synth pop, EBM and Dark Wave music.
