Hola, chochachos! On this episode of We Have a Technical we’re happy to welcome a long-running fixture in dark music who’s carved out a legendary reputation as both an artist and a leading figure in the music biz: Sam Rosenthal of Black Tape For a Blue Girl and Projekt Records. We chat with the American darkwave and ethereal music stalwart about revisiting the past on his band’s new album, running a label in 2016, and the nature of fan/artist relationships in this week’s installment of the official www.idieyoudie.com podcast!

We Have a Technical 117: Modified Chaps
Great interview! Surprised he didn’t mention the success of Lycia in the 90s or anything about the Projekt Fests (really wish I could have attended one of those). It was cool to see the success of the Remnants vinyl reissue in an era where I don’t feel like enough people talk about how important Projekt was/is. The new albums from Mercury’s Antennae and Autumn’s Grey Solace are great, too.
iTunes still hasn’t posted my review of the podcast I wrote almost a year ago now ;_;
Projekt was also well-known for their sampler CDs–a great way to preview music by artists you’d never heard of; online samples of tracks serve that purpose now but I’ve found those old samplers to be great collections in their own right. Thanks for giving Sam a chance to discuss the “new” music industry.
