It is my pleasure to welcome Nathan Baxter to the Dark Essence airwaves for a special edition of the show this evening. Nathan has a long history in the Australian industrial community, beginning with his long-running radioshow Darkwings on RTR community radio in Perth. He also ran the club Dominion which morphed into the legendary Sin, and founded the Perth Order Of Gothic Societies. His foray into writing saw him write for Dark Angel and Industrial Nation, plus also publishing a magazine called Darkwave Over Metropolis. He later got involved in Fiend Magazine and Rivetting Promotions who were responsible for some legendary industrial tours across the country in the 2000s and early 2010s. Outside of radio, clubs, and magazines; Nathan also co-ran Gorgon Music Distrution which domestically distributed labels such as Hard Records, Cold Meat Industry, and KK Records. Nathan has hand-picked every single one of tonight's selections - needless to say, you're in for a treat!

It's crawling ever so close to showtime here at 4ZZZ HQ - hope you can make it!

A loaded one this evening. At 10pm I'll kick things off with a handful of new releases before getting into two special features.

Legendary dark industrial act ATTRITION are heading to our shores for the very first time in their 44 year history in just a matter of days, so I'll be spinning a block of tunes as a warm-up and teaser of what to expect for this highly-anticipated tour.

Following which; I will be paying tribute to a legend. Much of the second half of the show will be comprised of tracks from Ollie Olsen's vast back-catalogue which spans from the 1970s to the 2020s. An important pioneer in Australian post-punk, electronic, and experimental music; Ollie sadly lost his fight against MSA last week. A man who worked under many different umbrellas of electronic music; tonight's selection will have a focus on the industrial side of his output.
