We’re joined by renaissance woman Andi Harriman to talk about DJing during quarantine and her new EP for aufnahme + wiedergabe, Corpse To Corpus. How do you heat the floor when it’s spread across multiple time zones? What might a more feminine approach to EBM sound like? And do real goths love freestyle? All of these questions and so many more are discussed on the latest episode of We Have A Technical.

Your opening discussion about tastes is interesting. To be honest I am getting quite nostalgic for the mid to late 2000’s scene again. Listening to Aggrotech or modern Dark Electro at its peak. While it did get Derivative it was, I don’t know “Fun”?
Around 2010 I lost interest, started listening to late 80’s 90’s Industrial bands as I preferred the drum sounds, I also start listening to a a lot various Dance genres of the 90’s.
I like a lot of 80’s stuff but that decade has been strip mined at this point.
Whatever this new scene you’re talking about isn’t fun to me. I went to see Drab Majesty and SRSQ. Don’t get me wrong I loved the gig. Loved those bands. Would see them again.
But whatever this scene you’re talking about for me personally socially or culturally isn’t for me. Its too serious. Like you would look at some people at the gig and opening bar of Huey Lewis and The News’s “Hip To Be Square” you pop into your head.
Its a bit pretentious, trying to hard to different yet “cool”. Its too bourgeois and cosmopolitan.
Social media has made it worse like its all about pronouns, and identity politics. Same toxic divisive bullshit you get from the media 24/7.
Some of the music I like but this current scene culture you talk of isn’t for me and I am not going to try to fit in for the sake of it, I hate that.
I don’t know about you two but I am 30 next year and I am like fuck this shit I am too old.
Regards.
