It's no secret that I'm a big fan of The Sisters Of Mercy and all things doom and gloom, so I thought it was about time I made a banging tune for dark dancefloors. Although technically it's a mash-up, it sounds more like a remix to me, but whatever...

I used Dominion / Mother Russia and spiced it up with dark electro courtesy of Frenchmen Sweet Light and Black Strobe (another favourite). As for the vocal sample, it's a deranged John Hurt from V For Vendetta.

As usual, please head over to MashStix and cast me a vote, OK? And don't forget to pay a visit to The Sisters Of Mercy official site; it may lack in terms of design but Mr. Eldritch has a wicked sense of humour. Now, about this new album... Some day, some day, some day...

Podcast Summary

A perfect combination of effervescent dance beats, driving, droning guitars, shoegaze harmonies, infectious vocals and new wave aesthetics.

About Bynar

Bynar was beamed down to planet Earth the year The Human League were formed. Growing up with the sounds of The Cure, Depeche Mode and Joy Division, he never managed to figure out whether Friends Are Electric or Androids Dream of Electric Sheep and decided to become a computer scientist, hoping to find the answer to life, universe and everything (no, it’s NOT 42!). During his never-ending quest to get his PhD, Bynar travelled to Athens, Ediburgh, London and finally ended up in Salonica. In an ironic twist of fate he became a resident DJ at the infamous “Berlin” (i.e. the dodgiest bar in town), spinning everything from Indie Rock to Gothic, Electro and Synthpop. However, Bynar’s country did not appreciate his DJing skills and decided to draft him in the Navy, as if there weren’t enough potato peelers in this world. Unwilling to pursue a career as a swabber, Bynar resisted and kept on listening to music while on nightwatch. Now, after a nightmarish year, he is back on the loose, ready to cause more mayhem on the dancefloors. To prove that he never lost his hardcore, Bynar is running a music blog and a podcast, making mash-ups, writing articles for Pop+Rock magazine and hosting Indie Disco, a weekly radio show, at www.waveradio.gr (Tuesdays, 8-10 +2GMT). For DJ bookings or Guitar Hero duels, drop him an e-mail at djbynar@hotmail.com, will you?
