I mean, I'd take Black Strobe 10x over Front 242 today! I fell off the 242 wagon after 05:22:09:12 Off from 1993 or so.

Did I listen to yet another unrepresentative Black Strobe track?

Donut have you heard "Narcodancer"??? It is the absolute unsung gem in their backcatalogue.
Also Phil Sherburne included an awesome track "Pins & Needles" in a mix he did last year but I don't know if it's been formally released yet.
"Audika" is also good but a bit slow - I prefer it sped up in its bootlegged with "Like I Love You" form.

...and of course Black Strobe - Italian Fireflies...
Fine, fine electro riffery.

I never really had a goth phase, but I think I'm going out to buy a long black leather coat today and move to Belleville or something. I've actually never heard Front 242 before this mix (!) but now I'm very curious. I also bought a Rammstein record because of the Keine Lust remix!
I'm sort of wondering if all music shouldn't be like this. for today anyway!

So fickle.
Black Strobe - if you're reading this, you too! I'm sure all the goth kids hanging around the malls of Pleasanton and Hayward would totally dig it.

so, I figured they'd be DJing w/maybe a sampler or something, but they were a full on BAND!!! three butch french goths all in cut-off black tees (arnaud's was plain, gtr/bass/keys guy's was sisters of mercy, drummer's was . . . . dandy warhols?!) stomping around, plundering the back catalogue. the drummer was keerazy - had this huge kit that he'd metronomically thrash/recreate everything on while managing to um "mix" between the different tracks - they didn't let up once! arnaud would prowl up & down the stage & terrorise the crowd, & I finally um "got" their vocals - "me & madonna" = excellent live, was nice to hear "bright shining star" for the first time; & me & my friend went absolutely apeshit to "the abwehr disco". came across as such a metal band! no Ivan, sadly. & the DJ before them played a great remix of "all I ever wanted"! didn't get to ask her who'd done it, though.

I'd read that he'd just remixed "Shining Bright Star", but yeah I wanna hear this RIGHT THE FUCK NOW

Any thoughts on Arnaud's new one? Sounds pretty good to me, especially the slower tracks.

black strobe : goth electro. hit and miss.
arnaud rebotini : fucking brilliant analogue electronica. 'the first 13 minutes of love' is the best thing that tangerine dream never made in 1979.

black strobe had a good few hits imo. their essential mix was really great: https://soundcloud.com/ash-bradshaw/blackstrobe-essential-mix-28
