Industrial music made such a huge impact on me when I first discovered it. Depeche Mode definitely cracked opened those doors, but it was seeing the video for Sensoria that really kickstarted it. You can hear its spreading influence in the big drums of late 80s dance tracks. And to me, industrial and 80s dance always paired together well. So here I cast the net wide while digging deep to unearth those obscure/hidden gems. Please enjoy Total M’s homage to the dark, edgy, glittery, and grandiose sounds of 80s ‘Industrial Dance’.

In honor of the upcoming FAC51 Haçienda party in Tokyo, I bring to you this mix which has my favorite version of New Order’s 5-8-6 remixed by the one and only Peter Black. It also features lots of other goodies like the Berlin infused Joshua Iz remix of Volga Select and Mystic Bill’s Japan inspired Visions Of Tokyo. Not quite “Electro”, not quite NuDisco, this mix is a collection that captures this strangely ambiguous era of electronica. Enjoy!

After subjecting myself to obsessive amounts of Julian Mendelsohn, Martin Rushent and Jolley & Swain, I felt it important, nay imperative, to compile some personal ‘extended mix’ favorites.  Give it a listen with fresh ears and an open mind, the flame will at once be rekindled for those big booming drums, stuttered vocal samples, and dubby space-echoed synths.  Enjoy!
