It's Josh x 2 for this week's Dark Essence. Linking up live and direct from Melbourne; I caught up with Josh Rombout from Sirus about current happenings in the Sirus camp. Josh Rombout is armed with a DJ set to spin for you, and I attempted to play new releases but got a tonne of requests instead. It's high-octane industrial radio; Josh style!

My apologies. I woke up this morning with a stomach bug. I gave it a few hours and I am still far from 100%.

Being in a small broadcast studio is not ideal at the moment. So, please give some dark love to Q from Friday NEON who will be keeping the seat warm tonight from 10-12.

I will be back next week. Promise.
