Coast art/production guru and one of our top five favorite gingeys Loukas Crowther is also an ace DJ who happens to share a musical predilection that is very close to our own heart – ’80s darkwave. For someone who was never a goth (maybe you can elaborate on this, Loukas?) the man knows exactly how to find the songs that give me a total eyeliner boner. Thank him with vials of virgin’s blood and gin and tonics (in that order).
Get this shit here.
