K. Alexi “Jungle Line” 🐆
A definitive slice of early ‘90s Chicago House by a legend previously unreleased until now. 100% high octane jam! From the Warehouse Trax EP out February 27 darkentriesrecords.com/store/music/vinyl/ep/k-alexi-k-a-posse-vinyl-bundle
An incredible album. Lo-fi/minimal songs of despair and alien(!)ation by mildly depressed sci-fi nerds. I'm pretty sure the only publication that reviewed it at the time was 2000AD and that's because it's probably the only one they sent it to.

Pink background overlaid with text: "I would take the bus into New York by myself. Sometimes I would drag my girlfriends ... I just wanted someone to dance with and be there. And I would make them dress up, because they weren't goths. They played softball, but l'd be like, here, wear black and put on these fishnets." JOSH CHEON IN CONVERSATION ISSUE THREE
Pink background overlaid with text: "Familiarity breeds both comfort and contempt but, I don't know, I have seen a fair share of the world at this point and I think that wherever one lives we are all picking our poison. I have decided for better or worse, this place is home." BRONTEZ PURNELL IN CONVERSATION ISSUE THREE

In Issue Three! DJ impresario Josh Cheon (@darkentries.bsky.social) and punk polymath Brontez Purnell discuss growing up goth, San Francisco's dance parties, Dolores Park meet-cutes, archiving Patrick Cowley’s gay porn soundtracks, and maintaining the creative drive deep into their careers.

‘Space Museum’ by Solid Space (1982) 🚀
Reissued by Dark Entries in 2017
Cheap synths and drum machines, stripped-back layers, melodies with a pop sensibility from this short-lived British duo. Space Museum is an adventurous, seminal, and decidedly punk album that was years ahead of its time.
reflecting on another year around the sun 🎂 grateful for friends, family and a musical network that grows every day. thank you for all the support and love ❤️

out now: Brandy Dalton - Fallen Angel soundtrack to a trilogy of ’90s BDSM films. “His work here runs the gamut from woozy ambient textures to chuggy techno skronk, somewhere in between British Murder Boys and the Twin Peaks soundtrack.”

My favorite memory touring with Mara was in the car ride headed to Pennsylvania with @darkentries.bsky.social driving we joked about how we wanted to make Ren-Wave or Ren-Fair Wave. I don't know how to describe it: Dragon Wave, GoT Wave, but between this and my release we're getting there 🐉

I'm so honored and happy to be friends with her, as tour comrades back in the States and in extremely excellent company as a fellow artist on Dark Entries / @darkentries.bsky.social!

Out today: Phase 5 by Group Rhoda. Mara Barenbaum has recorded under the Group Rhoda name for more than a decade, and her latest release sees her perpetually in-between states, deftly shifting form at the blink of an eye. grouprhoda.bandcamp.com/album/phase-5

If you want to hear more music from Surge Studio films, check out Forbidden Overture’s (Man Parrish) score to Turned On. Two languorous, blissful long jams of the highest order.

Rest in Peace Nogi Prass of Shoc Corridor, keyboardist on the Experiments In Incest LP and A Blind Sign EP that we reissued. She also worked as a music journalist in London in the 80s, interviewing artists and appearing on radio. A beautiful and charismatic soul who will be sorely missed. 💔
