Matia Simovich of Inhalt joins Alex and Bruce on the podcast this week to discuss how that project's trilogy of EPs responds to the crisis of late capitalism, the rhythm of the German language, and how Deleuzean rhizomes can destabilize genres. We also have a bit of a preview of the upcoming Cold Waves LA festival which we'll be attending, and all manner of other updates and bon mots from the realm of darker alternatives.

The Senior Staff is back at full force! Back from vacation, Alex and Bruce are talking about records from Spetsnaz and Gatekeeper. Also on the docket is Resident Advisor's piece on EBM...which may have had some influence on our choice of albums this week. We're charged up and ready to go: I Die: You Die, you know what it is!

It's a special two-guest episode of We Have a Technical as we welcome Eric Sochocki of FIRES and Jamie Blacker of ESA to the podcast. We had the pleasure of sitting down with both artists at Terminus, and each offered insight into their history, goals and what the future might hold. Did you wonder what (highly danceable) direction FIRES might be going in? Are you wondering about the beast in the latest ESA record? Tune in true believers! 

It's a very special We Have a Commentary, as for the first time ever Bruce and Alex sit down with the artist who made the album we're commenting on. Yes, Réal Cardinal joins us to talk about Hollow Worlds, his astonishing LP of post-rock and bass music flavoured IDM. Stories about it's inspiration, construction, and legacy are told, and secrets are revealed as we go over every inch of this modern classic of sound design and production! 

With Bruce away for a few weeks of well-deserved vacation, Alex digs into the interviews we collected during Terminus Festival for a conversation with Claus Larsen of Leaether Strip. Needless to say this was a bucket list interview for the Senior Staff, and Claus obliged with numerous fascinating stories and perspectives from the past and present alike. What can you expect from his forthcoming album World Molæster and his new project with members of Die Krupps and Fear Factory, Die Klute? Listen to We Have a Technical and find out!

It's a very special travelogue episode of We Have a Technical as Bruce and Alex record their impressions of Terminus Festival in Calgary, along with a ton of special guest appearances from performers and friends of the site. Who brought the goods? What did we think of each and every performance? How much can two dudes record in one weekend on less than average sleep and with incredibly hoarse voices from yelling? You'll have to listen to find out! 

On the heels of bidding adieu to their subcultural home away from home for years on end, the Senior Staff are talking about Vancouver's late great Club 23 West. Alex and Bruce talk about the club's history in Vancouver as well as how the club's fate points towards larger trends continent wide. They're joined by some long-time friends and fellow DJs on this, the latest episode of We Have Technical, along with some last minute Terminus prep!

The Senior Staff try to save records of note from the memory hole on this episode of We Have A Technical. Alex and Bruce petitioj for why each of the five records they've picked which are currently out of print deserve a reissue. What oddball corners of genre crossover will be explored? Which overlooked pioneers will be championed? Tune in to find out, as well as getting the skinny on recent sets by Rational Youth and Psyche.

It's a different kind of commentary episode, as Bruce and Alex take a cue from The Satellite of Love and do a live video commentary! The Senior Staff are watching Skinny Puppy's legendary live concert video "Ain't It Dead Yet?" There's plenty of oozing, gurgling live brappage to be discussed, with our beloved S'Puppies sitting at a transition point live in Toronto. So grab some snacks, crack a beer, and make a call to the Green Guy as you cue up and watch some classic electro-industrial madness alongside your pals Alex and Bruce!

A pair of true school post-industrial records are taken up in this week's We Have A Technical! Individual Totem's squelchy alien soundscapes on "S.E.T.I." and the strangely approachable ambient industrial of Deutsch Nepal's "Benevolence" are taken up in this episode. We also have the scoop on the Terminus pre-party, plus a dash of shade being thrown Marilyn Manson's way on the idieyoudie.com podcast!
