1980s Dark Electronics

Dark Electronic music did not start in the 1990s; they was plenty of sombre music in this vein before that decade.
This mix focuses on music from the 1980s; sometimes close to Industrial, EBM, Synth Pop, Post Punk or Minimal Wave. Sonic experiments with dark synths, bleak and melancholic moods, whispering, talkind and screaming vocals, partly with dancable rhythms formed by rudimentary drum machines, party not; music that already largely followed the blueprint of what is called the "Doomcore" genre in our own days.
In many aspects Very different from todays dark and brutal Techno music, agreed, but at the same already - eeringly similar.
Face it, would you pop a steady 909 to the back of most of these tracks, you would have - instant "modern" Doomcore. Especially with those epic, dark, sawtooth filled synth sounds!

Mixed by Doomcore Records's own Nicola Current.
