Klack's blend of throwback new beat and self-aware Hi NRG sounds seemed to emerge fully formed with the 2017 "Do You Klack?" EP. That's perhaps no surprise given the resumes of Eric Oehler and Matt Fanale who, in addition to having broad ranging histories in electronic music, have never been accused of underthinking their own work. So we thought that sitting down with the mid-western duo to get their thoughts on new EP "Introducing The 1984 Renault LeCar" wouldn't just yield some insights into their own working dynamic or the intricacies of making dance music about dance music, but would also yield some pretty great anecdotes. And we were right! So here's a rare artist-assisted episode of We Have A Commentary.

It's an accidentally Swedish-heavy episode of WHaT this week, as the Senior Staff discuss "Buried Again" by Colony 5 and "III" by Kite. We're kicking from post-futurepop to synthpop this week, along with some discussion of Odonis Odonis' new festival venture in Toronto, and Al Jourgenson's dalliances with David Hasselhoff. Bork bork bork!

It's still Terminus catch-up season here at the HQ, as we offer interviews with Neuroticfish and Pictureplane garnered from our weekend in Calgary. There's plenty on the table from artists who might be working in different styles but are brought together by Industrial Summer Camp. All that, plus some talk about a recent trad goth bonanza here in Vancouver on this week's episode of We Have A Technical!

Terminus is in the can and we've got the ingredients list...or some such other terrible metaphor. The Senior Staff is breaking down all of the highlights from this year's installment of Industrial Summer Camp, with more than a little help from various friends of the site along the way. Buckle up for an extra-sized edition of We Have A Technical!

Okay we're gonna level with you: we recorded this episode with our pals from Talking to Ghosts and The Blood of Others like three weeks ago and don't remember a god damn thing about it. We might have talked about podcast stuff, but also about Michael and Wes have feelings about gallery shows and other alternate ways to present their music? Yes, that sounds right. Also, some talk re: the Severed Heads. It was pretty good probably, why not listen to it now?

The new record from Drab Majesty makes brings some interesting new sounds and moods to the dreamy gloom which was so finely honed on "The Demonstation". And as it happens, the Senior Staff have some varying opinions as to what new LP "Modern Mirror" portends, and they're hashing it out on the latest episode of We Have A Technical. We've also got last minute Terminus talk and news regarding the release of material from the infamous Nurse With Wound list.

An ur-source for goth music and thematics, The Virgin Prunes' "...If I Die I Die" is the subject of this month's We Have A Commentary. The secrecy, world-building, and religious/mythic imagery of the record have made it a classic for a reason, and the Senior Staff are here to discuss all that and more! Crack a Guiness or pour yourself an absinthe and traipse through the stranger lands of The Virgin Prunes.

Avi Roig from Harsh R dropped by the old ID:UD HQ this past weekend in anticipation of his set at Vancouver's Body 2 Body Cascadian EBM showcase. We chatted with him about his roots in hardcore, the importance of minimalism, and just how freaking much Babyland rules. We've also got a breakdown of all of the sets from the aforementioned Body 2 Body, along with news about a far-reaching dark music event just announced for November in LA. It's this week's We Have A Technical: come on in, the water's fine!

I Die: You Die turned eight years old this past weekend, and in light of that we're using this week's episode to compare the sort of music the site covered in its infancy with what's on the table today. Bands, labels, club play: how does 2011 stack up to 2019? All that plus the latest on our patron saint Gary Numan and an upcoming Cascadian EBM showcase on this week's episode of We Have A Technical!
