friends, neighbours, fedizens, could you again help me with some reach?

It's hard for #indie #artists to try and have a semi ethical online presence. Even harder when the artist comes from the darker nooks and crannies of the sonic palette, like a boss fight and one of your Famicom buttons is sticking.

Have I reached the end of the verse? Are there any endemic creatures of the night and beauty in the darkness friends out there or, might you pleasantly surprise yourself and hopefully your neighbours with some dark disco, #ebm, #industrial, #goth house, #synthpop, #futurepop, #dance, cathartic #powernoise, #horror, #dystopian, dark and noisy cinematic #soundtracks? We got it all on UHF.

It's been a rough and expensive week at the oontz farm and super quiet here in the digital neighbourhood.

Could you:

  • Chuck me a follow here and/or subscribe to my occasional and zero corporate tracking mail list as the feed is not always reliable to communicate events and releases?

  • Check out my growing #peertube channel including footage from my NHAM/tibTV concert. @controlfreak https://makertube.net/c/controlfreak_channel/videos

  • Have you checked out REPLICATE 1.0, my recent dark electronic renditions #covers album of alt and pop bangers and clangers from the 80s to present? #newRelease #nowPlaying #fediMusic https://music.control.org/replicate1/

  • In addition to serenading your neighbours, I would love to be the soundtrack to your moving pictures, animation, video game, physical installation space, haunted house, or any and all cool or punching upward projects you might have or could link me up with? I am seeking donate what you can if you can #commissions for remix and sound assets and am also super happy to offer or tweak existing things from the catalogue for your brief. I can brighten up the tone and sound if that suits.

  • Or #donations always welcome if you don't need any sound but would like to just support/sponsor more of all of the above happening, I do enjoy having heat and meds, keep my inclusive and safer online live shows growing as I am unable to physically tour or work for others' tours, and help a subsistence farmer get more aggressively positive sonic assault out there free for the people. https://control.org/#solidarity

  • boosts on things from my feed are swell but EVEN BETTER, if you have a minute, maybe tag me up and make a post in your own words about something you enjoyed or was pleasantly surprised by etc from my shows, releases, remixes? I have no idea what to say.

Thanks for your help.

Let's stomp in solidarity.

I like cleaning drains more than doing promo waffle but I did an interview about the REPLICATE 1.0 release and more: https://nham.co.uk/2026/02/interview-with-controlfreak/

JAPAN Tin Drum 1981 Canada pressing While I was at my local shop this morning, a gentleman came in to sell about 30 of his records. I ended up buying ALMOST all of them. Along with the No New York compilation I posted earlier, it was all made up of #obscure #nowave , #punk , #postpunk , #newwave , #synthpop , and #experimental #artrock from the late #70s and early #80s . This was one that I was very excited about. I’ve never owned a CLEAN original Tin Drum on vinyl before, and I’m SIKED. I’m a big fan of Japan (and of David Sylvian) in general, and Tim Drum was the first album by Japan I ever heard. I was so mystified by it, that I instantly set off on finding others, which lead me to working backwards towards Adolescent Sex, Obscure Alternatives, Quiet Life and Gentlemen Take Polaroids. “Ghosts” is an incredible tune. It still gives me goosebumps. #vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #records #vintage #retro #physicalmedia #analog #cratedigging #vinylcollection #art #music

ULTRAVOX Vienna 1980 Canada pressing A stone cold classic before I head out and start my Monday. One of my favorite #80s records that I will never tire of. I know diehards prefer the earlier #70s Ultravox records, but Vienna is the one for me. The first one with Midge Ure on it, replacing the departed (he left, he didn’t die) John Foxx. Full of really great tunes, and one of the defining albums of the early eighties #synthpop genre. One of my all-time favorite fun and ridiculous facts: The title track, unquestionably the band’s biggest song, reached #2 on the UK singles chart. The song that kept it from being #1? Joe Dolce’s “Shaddap You Face”. 😂 Apparently, good taste was on vacation in 1980. #vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #records #vintage #retro #physicalmedia #analog #cratedigging #vinylcollection #vinylfinds #rare #art #1980s #80sMusic #synth #newwave #ultravox #music

WOW. FILE THIS UNDER: Things I learned today. A few days ago, I posted the outstanding Cherry Red CD box set Musik Music Musique 1979 (The Roots Of Synth Pop). On that collection is a song by Bruce Woolley And The Camera Club called “Video Killed The Radio Star”, the famous song by The Buggles, and the very first video played on MTV. I thought it was a cover. NOPE. Technically, it is the ORIGINAL version. It was written by Trevor Horn, Geoff Downes, AND Woolley. Woolley recorded and released it it first, to no acclaim. A few months later, The Buggles had a huge hit with THEIR version. The Bruce Woolley And The Camera Club version is FANTASTIC!!! I had never heard it before, and I cannot stop listening to it. The cute “ohhh wah ohhhs” are absent, and for me, it’s a refreshing, if not BETTER version of the Buggles classic. How did I miss this all these years? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3v7PHoCYmts&pp=ygUnY2FtZXJhIGNsdWIgdmlkZW8ga2lsbGVkIHRoZSByYWRpbyBzdGFy&ra=m #vinyl #vinylrecords #records #synthpop #vintage #retro #physicalmedia #analog #art

Released today 39 years ago: 🇬🇧 Cabaret Voltaire "Don't Argue" – 1987 A sleek and uncompromising blend of electronic body music, industrial funk, and machine-driven dance grooves. The track replaces the band's early experimental noise with a sharper, club-oriented sound, without losing its sense of tension and unease... #cabaretvoltaire #ebm #industrial #electronicmusic #synthpop #experimentalmusic #80smusic #vinyl #music #vinylrecords #nowspinningonvinyl #nowspinning #nowlistening
