@bizarrebilly used to hang out with goths back in the days, admiring their style and dedication in their clear cultural focus, but also intimidated to feel guilty for also liking the things that gothic culture was originally opposed against: '80s pop and especially '70s disco. Nowadays these styles have so much more in common than they were ever in opposition for. So here's Billy's debut as a goth DJ, focusing mostly on the genre classics in their most bizarre remixes, but also adding related music that the goth scene may have missed hearing and serving it all up according to the extremily high standards of modern djing techniques, with harmonic transitions designed to sound like song structures themselves. So maybe it's just the kind of new fresh look that this music was waiting for, and it sure is a good way to introduce new generations to goth culture — just now in these days when NO FUTURE has a whole new meaning.
