Always Eclectic. Mix of Electronic / Industrial / EBM / Punk / Outsider Folk / Disco-Funk / Soul.
Now.
Apolitiq
Sonically dense. Like experiencing an alien invasion through a 1st person found footage film, edited down to a half-hour episode. First three tracks, you're smack-dab in the middle of it, attempting to get your bearings. Last two, retreating and seeing the world differently. Vocals styles vary between vocalists, but fit the theme of each track well. Underlying theme seems to be the nature of chaos.

Outsider world / drone / folk / krautrock / electronic comp. Weird and some even beautiful stuff. It's one that rewards patient listeners. Haven't been much of that lately. But when I have is where those picks came from.
TRACK PICKS:
D2 Cyril Cyril – Mariid.
C2 Odessey & Oracle – J'ai Vu Un Croco.
A3 Tempo Venus & OX3 – Y

It’s a Weird Place
SMFORMA
EBM with Darkwave /Coldwave influences, especially in her cold vocal delivery. A1 Blue Romance is the moodiest of the lot, and those dimmed synths are somehow otherworldly and bleak! B2 Sierra brings the main synth down and let's the noises and effects take the front, a unique take.

Bottles / I'm Only Little / Anytime Anyplace Anywhere
Neon
B1 Bottles
Punk / New Wave high energetic track, fun and belted vocals, almost synth-like acid guitar loop, soloed over with a more standard guitar sound, and damn good bass line! That track got tons of repeats.

Tell Me (What You Gonna' Do)
Pandella
Instrumental Dub a solid pick for varied cross-genre throwback sets. Main synth even sounds a bit Industrial EBM-ish. Groovy slower track with samples, hits, & percussion elements coming and going. Great for early night sets. Not nearly as fast, but kind of works in a set somewhat near other pixk on this list; Bottles by Neon.

(You) Keep On Making Me Hot
Busta Jones
Slick, groovy bassline, stop-&-go funk guitar riffer, slow tempo groover, and yes, hot as hell! This is one to get close with your honey, body to body, raise the temperature! Oh yes, and there's a sax.

Mama Lied
Phil Gentili
Gem of an "oldie but goodie" back-of-the-caddy baby making music... or a heartfelt song about the signs-of-the-times. But that groove's gonna lay you down, and the horns, present but not overpowering. Add the long version to your mixtape.
