Evening all you corvids and ducklings.

Evening Andy and everyone

Does Reinhardt Lakomy count? He was from what was then East Germany.

Hey all - starting off with some digital hardcore....

What is digital hardcore, may I ask

whatever this is hahahah

Digital Poodle? They're old school.

Um, thanks, dante :-P

Reinhardt Lakomy would definitely count - hadn't heard of him until now!

Eastern Euro sounds cool, to be sure.

Hardcore has/had a different meaning for me (Black Flag/Minor Threat etc)

Lakomy's "Das Geheime Leben" is an interesting mix of synth-funk and ambient.

This Fisherman's Blues song is good

I think i might have gotten it wrong - that first song I played was synth punk? whatever that is

Dante, it's all good!

Cross genre can be really awesome.

This is a delightful cover!

i've been absolutely obsessed with this album in the past week - it's fantastically weird. Yann Tomita, the mastermind behind Doopees, produced Pardon Kimura's first album. This one is just Pardon but its really cool

@-dante - I bet the artists don't know what it is either.

wish i could play the full album straight through

agreed @ addie!

Tomita, as in "Snowflakes are dancing" ?

Check out Kimura's web site, is that an Easel knock off on the front page?

Nevermind Just checked it out.

https://www.pardonkimura.com/

https://medias.arturia.net/images/products/buchla-easel-v/buchla-easel-v-image.png

looks def inspired by the easel but not the same

Charles Cohen played the Easel. I saw him and Mike Hopkins play at a Gatherings concert about 20 years ago.

Where does this go beside mainly Em, C, G, and D? lol

exactly there

All good

This is a sweeeeet tune! Wow, really love this vocal. Don't know, don't care why. Just works!

toner have been killing it on their last two albums

they're def worth checkin out

All in now. Thanks for sharin' on the show.

Good evening Dante, happy 2922! Great show so far

I'm keeping that typo.

here for this

Hey Andrew! Glad you're enjoying in 2922

speaking of 2922, a live performance of this song is quite fantastic:

struggling to copy and paste....

Na Zare! <3

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6wl-EyhXl0

2922 I was there once, but they pulled me back on the time machine too soon.

The video is soooo good. The synth player with the crazy Hawaiian looking shirt has an amazing YouTube channel filled with Soviet jems. Unfortunately he just passed away

awww...the synth player is living in 2922 for real

Here’s his page https://youtube.com/channel/UCCz530nCFCOdyFKY0kr9gNA

we are all living in synth heaven

I have a synth from 1999. It still is cool. So I would never judge 2922.

Oooh i'm definetely goin to sub to that channel!!

I think his name is olaf. Unfortunately I don’t know Russian but he was in another band NRG new Russian group. They are also absolutely amazing

https://youtu.be/U2L2N_h9KoU

Oh my god 💙

ITS SO FUCKING GOOD OMG

update the playlist iMMEDIATELYYYY

what is this song that i am in love with

all of her music is like this

Simple refresh click away.

Petition for a new WPRB show that's just Soviet Synthwave and modern inspired Sovietwave

These vocals elevate it so much tbh

female Russian Herbert the pervert?

Holy shit! We've been warned!

Definitely yes to a Soviet wave block

hahah it's absolutely insane....and I love it

Russian Joy Division?

That would be Molchat Doma

was goin to play them too!

YES

had to make room for stephanie tho...

This reminds me of when a twitch streamer started playing a Russian GTA map bootleg that had Russian pop/synth on the radio stations. Stream chat was losing their minds at the jams lol

Molchat Doma is great. Check out Ssshhhiiittt! If you wanna hear another newer Eastern Europe post punk band

I kinda want that map bootleg lol

YESSSS MOREEEE

Sweet again!

beyond obsessed

stephanie volodymyrivna is the next bath boy

too far

not for me!

Нет

i love .

I'm in the love camp

love > Нет

I heart the tunes. I also heart arguing with DSM.

I mostly log on just to argue with MrM

took screenshot

oh wait this is pretty synthy...

once again, I lie

Jam alert

lol

These are some good finds Dante, thank you!

glad you're liking - this was my first real dive into both anything soviet and anything distinctly new wave. and i can say that I really enjoy both!

How do we feel about Russian/European shoegaze?

I can't say that's something I could have ever listened to but I feel like it's something I would love

Here’s a good start

https://youtu.be/VuDscQBInyA

classic! named after a LLC album

no an astrobrite album...

I find this "East Bloc" music quite interesting.

Jt, thanks for the rec. Took a short preview and this sounds beautiful

dj -dante, thoroughly enjoying the show! many thanks! I’d spend all my ruble on this stuffs!

Under the iron curtain, creativity among the open minded was insane. There's a Twitter account that posts cartoons that were made in the red states way back when, it's all so good: https://twitter.com/EasternOoC/

def listened to a decent amount of East/West European shoegaze back in my intense shoegaze phase

oh man this looks like an amazing account

God I love wprb so much

WPRB brings us all together. I'm glad to have finally started listening more in 2021

I was born on the other side of the iron curtain in Bulgaria in 1986, I loved the Zhana Agurzarova piece, thank you. '09 here

Yess! <3 you guys all rock. The best kind of family. Laima vaikule is another good famale russian pop singer. I discovered her crate diggin down in carneys point nj lol

Glad you enjoyed Pancho!! Zhana Agurzarova has a fantastic discography

ooo will have to check out Laima

I am reading Russian short stories right now, while i listen to this playlist.

Pancho, I just got a book of Anton Chekhov stories I'm excited to start reading

Glad you enjoyed Kathleen! It looks like the soviet stuff was a big hit - might have to make it a regular part of my show

Have to include the greatest Estonian rapper Tommy Ca$h if this becomes a regular part lol

If you're doing Laborwave this year you should totally do a Sovietwave special

what how!

@DSM are you reading in Russian, I am reading in English, unfortunately

Dante, so sad, the end of this set is worse than the fall of the Eastern Block

Unlike the soviet union, that type of set will likely return at least!!

Pancho, no, this will be in English as well. A friend gifted me this book.

What block was so good. Keeping it locked for the drive to work!

@Dante, well look at current affairs, with Kazakstan, Russia intervening, how sure are you the USSR is not back

that's true....

really enjoying the show toay

today*

Eastern Shoegaze sounds very cool.

Just noticed there will be an AI generated Dantecore segment as well?

Просто невероятная музыка!

machine is currently learning

analyzing patterns

generating dantecore

exciting

we've got more stretch to get through first tho

Got any Iva Bittova? She's Czech, but grew up behind the iron curtain.

YESSSSS more Hyperdub rep

Dante, did you check the new Burial LP that released earlier today?

sadly ändy the Iron curtain set has fallen!

will check out for next week @ Andy!

@Andrew which artist? idk who was hyperdub lol

thursday?

Yep next thurs!

Hyperdub was the label that Fatima Al Qadari track was released on, very good UK experimental/electronic/early dubstep label. The artist Burial had his first releases on there, very atmospheric and emotional sample based music. Check his stuff out whenever u get the chance!

His releases for the past 7 or 8 years have been more ambient focused but still hauntingly good.

Will have to check out! Super famous and I've never heard of them somehow :D

"Super" "Famous"

I'd recommend this old BBC promo mix as a launching point, lots of tracks from his second album which launched him into relative fame: https://youtu.be/Tn4TgaPXj8Y

Bookmarked!

💙

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did 12 years ago, and still do.

Hey yo peeeeeple!

Hey Jimbeaux!

Howdy ho jimbeaux!

Jimbeauuuux!

jimb-ello

Fun stuff tonight!

Were you here for Eastern Block hour?

Caught some of it!

Ya can’t do a slow core/bummer jams playlist without some Hum or Duster. Checkout stratosphere by Duster if ya wanna cry yourself to sleep

hahah this is true. duster is my most played artist of all time. gotta mix it up with slowcore you can't find on spotify!!

Lol true true. I was just thinking about Great Granpa earlier today. They’re pretty well know but super good as well. I caught them with Rozwell Kid at Everyone Hits (RIP) in Philly a few years ago

These 90s slowcore songs are nice. As is the Pardon Kimura stuff. Thanks and goodnight, Dante!

Thanks for tuning in Rob! Night!

Oh that would have been a cool show. I've only seen one person whose heyday was in the 90s (Steve Malkmus - he played some pavement songs). My dream was to catch a duster or swirlies show

a swirlies show would be on another level <3

my dream band to see live from back in the day is hands down Coaltar of the Deepers

Summer Days and Thunderbolt are two COTD songs that live rent free in my head eternally

oh that would be an incredible band to see

haven't listened to them in a long time - need to reexplore

the whole japanese shoegaze scene was insanely good

Absolutely. i love that COTD did so much with hardcore and metal. i believe Naraski? the lead guitarist and songwriter ended up writing some songs for Baby Metal lol

lol baby metal hahah

ooo he came out with an ambient album in 2020

gosh this song is great

Nice! i didnt know that. i havent looked any of the members up in forever. Definitely going on the listen to this playlist

Meredith Monk with a Speak 'n Spell?

sounds like it to me

this whole album makes liberal use of the speak 'n spell

kind of gave me Speak n Spell Signalwave vibes. like some old news bumpers or elevator music

This is really nice.

Thanks all for tuning in!

Thank you!

catch yah next week :D
