The Belfry NetworkThe Arcane Machine: Goths, Rivetheads, and Everyone In-betweenJust like the title says, this month we've got a bunch of music that falls all along the spectrum of Dark Underground, from the lo-fi spookiness of The Kentucky Vampires to highly-produced industrial from Shotgun Messiah and 51 Miles Away. Plus, new music from Fenix F, J:Dead, and more! Special thanks to MadFace for suggesting this month's listener pick. Send your listener submissions/ suggestions to arcanemachinepodcast@gmail.com!

DiskonoCalm Down Vol. IVVol. IV here, and possibly the last one in the series. The last one for a while at least. This is the very calmest of the calm volumes. Suitable for all aforementioned activities, this one is also actually recommended for falling asleep to.
I've been saving these tracks for this volume specifically. Nothing too trebly or doomy, or remotely soundtrack-y over-dramatic. The first few tracks are the "busiest" here, with their slow-motion, intermittent flourishes and rhythms. From there on, the barely-there rhythms disappear and things get even dronier and dreamier. Enjoy...

DiskonoDub Influence Vol. II [Post-Punk etc. 1978-84]Volume two, four years on from volume one. This one is a little more focused/cohesive, and while I avoided some of the obvious names on volume one, I've included PiL, The Slits, and The Pop Group here. Some of their deeper and/or instrumental tracks/dubs. A few more vocal moments in the second half as things build up. More volumes to come... Enjoy!

DiskonoCalm Down Vol. III - Ambient and Downtempo ElectronicVolume III in this ongoing series of calming, relaxing mixes. Useful to accompany an array of tasks throughout any time time of day ;). This one was a real joy to sequence, mix/layer, and record. Overall, it’s especially sparkly and melodic, like adult lullabies (or just regular ones). There’s a bit of a build-up towards the end, with a choice selection of gorgeous IDM/Techno tracks. But, no matter the BPMs, the mood remains mellow and melodic. Especially noteworthy is the +ONE track “Shao”, which has to be one of the most gorgeous pieces of music ever recorded. Tracklis...

DiskonoJittery Post-Punk MixThis mix is the exact opposite of calm. If you need an energy boost - here it is. Anxious, itchy, scratchy, manic, jittery Post-Punk songs. But also funky, taut, melodic, and incredibly catchy.
I was listening to Fire Engines recently and wondered if there’s anything, anywhere near as good as their song “Get Up and Use Me”. So, I racked my brain and came up with over 60 tracks, which I whittled down to the 30 here. Few match the catchiness and anxious energy of “Get Up and Use Me”, but the rest come close. Anyway, here’s a 3 liter bottle of Coke in mu...

DiskonoCalm Down Vol. II - Ambient and Downtempo "Natural"So... I’m not about to actually tell anyone to “calm down” these days (well ok, maybe all those anti-maskers, and I guess a ton of other people). The title Calm Down was always tongue-in-cheek. But you knew that. If I had to title this series in an overly serious way, perhaps something like “Calming, Healing, Restorative Energies” would be appropriate. We all need to take time for that at some point. Maybe this music can help.
Volume II, concentrating on natural, organic sounds, as opposed to the electronic, synthetic sounds of Volume I. Think piano, string/wind instruments, etc. There are...

DiskonoChintzy Electronics Vol. II - Interesting Mix Very Nice SongsCheesy, catchy, bizarre earworms. Chintzy electronics, drum machines, treated/processed guitars, often questionable vocals. But impeccably written and conceived. Pop hits that never were, and never will be. For the most part.
This is the wildest, most entertaining mix I've made. Some of the strangest songs you'll ever hear, but also some of the most heartbreakingly gorgeous. There's a little bit of everything included: Electro, Synth-pop, Dub, Dancehall, Hip-Hop, Japanese New Wave, Neue Deutsche Welle, Cambodian pop, Hindustani pop, Detroit Techno, Computer Disco, Italo-Disco, Italo-trance, electronically processed vocals, synthetic slap-bass, whatever the hell Ciccone Youth is, the always uncategorizable cacophony...

DiskonoNew Kraut/Psych/Kosmische Vol. IVolume I of II. This Volume is on the Psych/Noise side. Volume II will be more on the Kosmische/Motorik side, and probably poppier. Recorded in one take, no over-dubs or edits. As usual, it’s long. But it’s very colorful, and grooves hard if you’re patient. Enjoy : )

DiskonoTechnetium MixOne side of the coin being the previous Yttrium Mix, which concentrated on "natural", acoustic sounds, here's the flip, which concentrates on more "synthetic", electronic sounds. Drone/ambient, to down-tempo, to a stretch of techno/house that I think came out real nice. And a few very special vocal moments included. One take, no overdubs or edits. Lots of layering, so good luck following the tracklist. Enjoy.
