NightWave …and all that jazz with John Nate – Episode 18, 17.09.2021

The start of the 80’s era proved the synthesizer music can be obscure, heavy, and aggressive, just like guitars can. Technically referred to as sequencer music, the genre in question paved the way for techno, house, and electronic dance music we can enjoy today. The pillars of this genre may be whittled down to 3 words—“Body”, “Muscle”, and “Sweat”. So in E18 of the NightWave show, learn about the origins of Electronic Body Music AKA “aggrepo” or old-school EBM with the bands and artists who started it all.
