For a few years now, I’ve been doing shows on electronic music history as DJ Discordian on The Thursday Night Show. They’re all on Mixcloud, but I decided to do a kind of timeline with the shows in historical order:
Starting with my early electronica show, the shows cover everything from industrial and darkwave to the generally ignored “secret” history of dance music in the 1980s that hit the mainstream in 1988. And there’s some shows on EBM, new beat, hard beat and Belgian techno as well, for an alternative history of dance music.
I’ll keep updating the page as I do more shows, next up (in September) will be my second show on synthpop – moved back because of the death of Douglas J. McCarthy requiring a tribute show.
Hi Donnacha
Nice to receive a new message from you.
A long time ago (in February 1999), you wrote a review of a compilation CD of the 80s band mittageisen for Sorted magazine. I still work part-time for the indie label mital-U, producing songs and records, and I also co-produce films. Please see https://mital-u.ch/indie-label/produktionen/?lang=en
May I ask if you are interested in some of the works to play or write about?
If so, I’d be happy to send you some records/songs.
All the best

Hi Bruno,
I remember it well, it’s still online. I’d love to hear some new Mital-U stuff – can’t guarantee when I’ll play them (as you can see, I do a lot of history shows), but I’ll do my best. I’ll send you an email.
