CONVERSATIONS: NIC ENDO.
Few women in music can compare to Nic Endo, the modular synth-warping magi behind the classic Nineties album, Cold Metal Perfection, and beloved comrade of Berlin’s enduring digital hardcore pioneers, Atari Teenage Riot. As Atari’s frontwoman, a vanguard architect of experimental noise, and as an activist, feminist, and socially-conscious aesthetic icon, she is something of a...

CONVERSATIONS: THE KVB.
The KVB: the name cleverly suggests a cloistered faction, the kind who meets in the dead of night, an operation as powerful and covert as the former Russian secret police. That narrative befits the dangerous allure of the music namesake founder Klaus Von Barrel and Kat Day make: a perfect storm of guitars and synths that fuses the force of industrial shoegaze with a minimalist mind and cinematic...

MIXBEHAVIOR: THE KVB - 'REFLECTING GREY' MIX.
We asked The KVB to curate a mix for us, knowing that Klaus Von Barrel and Kat Day’s immaculate tastes would lead us to an exciting collision of restless synthetic sounds. Evocatively named ‘Reflecting Grey’, the sounds fill in the aesthetic details of the universe those simple words suggest: cavernous, malcontent, pensive electronic excursions from the past fifty years of...

CONVERSATIONS: NOCHEXXX.
The sounds of the club, from the gutter beneath: that’s Nochexxx, lurking, half-hidden, surveying civilians in their midnight play. An ally of the night, a stealth player equipped with analog armor, he has emerged above the surface. For almost four years, he has remained one of the UK’s most shadowy synthesists, revealing very little in his wake but a series of excellent EPs and...

CONVERSATIONS: MOON WIRING CLUB.
By believing passionately in something that still does not exist, we create it. The nonexistent is whatever we have not sufficiently desired. - Kafka.
We are here to crush a lingering assumption that electronica is more a science than art, an aesthetic form for cyborg souls who don’t crave fantasy, escape, fever dreams of their own. It’s a stale way to experience music of any kind,...

THE NIGHTVISION MANIFESTO:
Nightvision is an aesthetic manifesto, sound chamber, and live platform dedicated to advancing the Future Noir. The name doesn’t lie: we love the nocturnal, the ‘high-tech, low-life’ music, cinema, and art created in shadow, by those on the fringe of everything (and yes, we believe secrets still exist).
We are here to inspire and inform and invigorate the equally committed...

LET'S GO LIVE + BURN: Age of Love/Death Suite →
colleennika:
So, Erol Alkan & Boys Noize’s ‘Death Suite’ remains one of my all-time favorite acid electro blitzes. It is flawless and I never tire of it. I incorporate it into many of my DJ sets.
I’ve recently re-examined it, though, and it dawned on me that it’s obviously inspired by the classic trance tune, ‘Age of Love’, of which there’s...

Despite the doom and gloom and tragedy of Sandy’s aftermath, some incredible news for Nightwatchers arrived in our inbox today.

COME HELL OR HIGH WATER
Sadly, but not surprisingly, Hell-O-Ween with Nightvision, Xeno + Oaklander and Crash Course In Science — set for tonight at Le Baron — has to be rescheduled as the venue, like most of Lower Manhattan, has no power. Due to the excellent lineup & anticipation for this event, we’re working hard to reschedule this for next week. We’ll update you as soon as we know...

colleennika:
Americans, he said, dislike confrontation and will always attempt to seek a point of reconciliation, no matter if it means giving up their own ideas or ideals. The result, he felt, was a rather bland compromise. English educational institutions, on the other hand, were far more enervating: two sides would by and large refuse to budge, but listen open minded to the opposition, and...
