Motte and Bailey

This week, the Motte has all sorts of loud and erratic electronic music, including a return of the nerdtronica, and the Bailey has a variety of noise rock and metal to keep the energy going. A noisy episode to complement last week's quietness.Playlist: Ryan Lottermoser - Glimmers of Spring in the DarkGiacomo Falciani, Ambra Chiara Michelangeli - In The Mountain Of MutantsAntwood - Club DreadQebrus - ◙◙◙◙◙◙◙◙Xanopticon - Drunxpladaryl dee - SILENCE THE VOICESFemtanyl - IT'S TIMELil Kevo 303 - Crab_Cake_187f205sDJ 54KURA - Graffiti Go!
