On this day in 1997, "I'm Afraid Of Americans" by #DavidBowie was released as a single with six remixes including versions with #IceCube, #Photek and #TrentReznor of #NineInchNails - who also appeared in the official music video.
Host and headline act Necro Noise deftly weaves electro bangers with a vibe of 80s schlock horror and cyberpunk origins. TechNoir on Halloween 1985. www.instagram.com/necronoise

Huge postpunk vibes from Cherry Knowle, who cover The Fall right out the gate. Jangling guitars, merciless machine backing and heartfelt, howled vocals. Punk morals vividly on show. www.instagram.com/cherry_knowle
You could try and steer him with strategic requests, but I think the crowd comes first and they're primarily alt/goth/80s in Newcastle. This night I'm at now might be more your thing! Much more electro
You've been to Shinji's nights before so you know he's a savvy DJ with very broad tastes. Like in this thread he tries to bridge old and new, trad and bleep, but crowds being what they are I'd say he's at least sixty-forty playing old school over new tech.
Nice little interview here with Ian Astbury of #TheCult - he talks about reviving Death Cult, reconnecting with legendary producer #RickRubin and getting blanked by #Morrissey!
