This episode starts off with “Peaceful Snow” off of the album of the same name by Death In June. I start this show this way because of all the snow the Northeast of the U.S. has gotten over this past month. It’s snowing a lot. It’s coming again tomorrow in fact. For further delving into the world of DIJ I suggest this as viewing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fc7_g3I9VDo
We move on to US Christmas (USX). Their latest continues on their heavy psychedelic journey into space.
We move onto the even more disaffected pop sounds (the witch house sounds) of Fostercare and White Ring as found on the Disaro/Robot Elephant “Isvolt” compilation.
Godfathers of dubstep, Digital Mystikz, bring us our penultimate track and it’s off of a seminal split 12” with the Moritz Von Oswald Trio on Honest Jon’s Records.
And our final track is by a repeat visitor to Nothing Under The Sun. It’s off the latest by Gatekeeper, “Giza.”
Doc Nachtstrom is a kind of nocturnal figurehead in the otherwise rather sleepily dainted Graz in Styia / Austria.
He runs the blog The Sweetest Noise , dedicated to all things obscure and dark Electronica, who have been already really sweet to us, and he co-hosts a radio show on ORF FM4 - the Austrian version of BBC6 or WNPR called the House of Pain.
On Wednesday he ran a big 2 hour feature on Witch House, featuring an interview with Salem, lots of amazing tunes and ISVOLT in it’s entirety, including a quote by myself *gulp*..
Doc Nachtstrom ist eine Art nächtliche Gallionsfigur in der ansonsten eher als verschlafen angesehene Stadt Graz in Steiermark / Österreich. Er betreibt den Blog “The Sweetest Noise”, welche schon sehr nett zu uns wahren, und hosted auch eine Radioshow auf ORF FM4 namens The House of Pain.
Letzten Mittwoch war dort ein besonderes Witch House Feature zu hören, unter anderem mit einem Salem-Interview, vielen ausgezeichneten Tracks und ISVOLT in seiner Gesamtheit gespielt! Ausserdem ist ein Zitat meiner Selbt enthalten, *schluck*…
Ein Stream der Sendung kann für kurze Zeit hier angehört werden:
