Let's do the time warp again!! Part 2 of Dark Essence's 3 part 80's/90's old school special hits Acid Bath Radio in just a matter of hours, so tune in and hit that nostalgia button!

From German darkwave to that classic Vancouver sound; from new beat to industrial metal; this week's show has a little bit of everything under the industrial umbrella. Even a bit of Parliament-Funkadelic and Uriah Heep. Yes... seriously.

It's only a couple of hours until Dark Essence hits the Acid Bath Radio airwaves for instalment #970 of electro-industrial goodness with something very special in the mix.

Over the next three weeks I'm bringing back an old favourite which I used to do in the early years of Dark Essence. That is, a three part special of 80s and 90s industrial. I love the early industrial sound, and I always love spinning some deep-cuts for you, so I hope you can join me from 10pm... This will be so much fun!
