'Dark electro / Disco noir' is what I call a certain type of music referencing or sampling certain horror movie soundtracks from Goblin to John Carpenter that's popped up recently in certain electro
/ electro house quarters, and it's a music that I can connect to for several reasons, it's dark and broody and seems to fit the state of the nation at the moment (and I also love the music of those

'Dark electro / Disco noir' is what I call a certain type of music referencing or sampling certain horror movie soundtracks from Goblin to John Carpenter that's popped up recently in certain electro
/ electro house quarters, and it's a music that I can connect to for several reasons, it's dark and broody and seems to fit the state of the nation at the moment (and I also love the music of those
70s and 80s horror movies). It seems like a lot of new bands from the French (Zombie Zombie, NOTe Found, daRoc, Justice, Maesthelvin, Mustard Pimp) to the British (Padded Cell, Emperor Machine, Does
It Offend You, Yeah? and Sisters of Transistors) and even further outposts (Rico Tubbs, Tsk Tsk, Presets, Supermayer) have a common basis to me, so this is also a manifesto of sorts linking these
bands together with older and less obvious inspirations (or just my guilty pleasures!) such as Fad Gadget, David Shrigley, Meat Beat Manifesto and Peter Gabriel. So although not a 'Halloween' mix
I've mixed together these horror-inspired tracks with some of the original tracks that I think inspired them, and thrown in some horror movie samples (can you spot where they are from?) as a nod to
Halloween...and this is the first in a series. It's also the first mix I've done in Ableton. Tracklist at the website or in the comments of the MP3, or on an iPod the Lyrics field (press your centre
button 4 times).
