It's show day! This is your 4 hour alarm. We'll be crashng the TV signal to bring dark oontz for dystopian times live from a micro black box theatre in a lounge at the base of a mountain in the middle of nowhere at the bottom of the world.

2100 UTC at https://tv.theindiebeat.fm/

First I am performing my #ebm #synth #futurepop #industrial #goth #techno album manipulate for its 25th anniversary. Then, oxygen will in, live debut covers from my REPLICATE project. Come on, you know you want to see a broken old ex-drummer belt out aggro #synthpop arrangements of pop princess bangers and clangers!

Brought to you by gaffer tape, the working class hero we need in these troubling times.

Help make our inclusive and corpo free venues that are for and by independent artists even awesomer by showing up, being an excellent neighbour, and having a good cathartic stomp on the virtual dancefloor.

In case you didn't feel like showing up...

Here is the complete manipulate 25 in '26 show from 19th March kicking off the @nham in concert series on @tibtvnowplayingbot@mastodon.social

Can't thank enough the Gaffer Tape Appreciation Society and all the friends that came out for a good cathartic stomp. I'm going to reply with some of my reflections on the show and the community vibes. Feel free to drop yours.

#micCheck and a BIG #askfedi for my next Replicate project.

Tangata whenua, Traditional Owners, Turtle Island, Sámi, Palestinian, Gàidheal, and all cousins from all parts are wanted to lend a voice to a track on an upcoming project. The track will be an aggressive cover and adaptation of a classic and scathing #hiphop ripper.

Helpful if you are but you need not be a singer or a rapper or a musician. Just keen to speak, rap or yell a word, or a line, or a verse in any tongue. We'll build the production to accommodate. Caveat, or feature not a bug, it will be updated for the times to be as very #fuckGenocide, #fuckTechBros, #fuckAI, #landback as we need it to be.

Calling any and all first peoples and carriers of colonisation, removals, enslaved, language shift, and oppressed generational trauma for a bit of #camaraderie and hopefully fun and cathartic sonic resistance.

I realise much fedi discourse skews VERY heavily to the so called "global north" but would be amazed and delighted if we could link up with some cousins outside the dominant echo chamber. I am 100% welcoming VIP clicktivism in this instance.

DM for more details if you are keen.

Urram, whakarangatira, vrakkueckv!

friends, neighbours, fedizens, could you again help me with some reach?

It's hard for #indie #artists to try and have a semi ethical online presence. Even harder when the artist comes from the darker nooks and crannies of the sonic palette, like a boss fight and one of your Famicom buttons is sticking.

Have I reached the end of the verse? Are there any endemic creatures of the night and beauty in the darkness friends out there or, might you pleasantly surprise yourself and hopefully your neighbours with some dark disco, #ebm, #industrial, #goth house, #synthpop, #futurepop, #dance, cathartic #powernoise, #horror, #dystopian, dark and noisy cinematic #soundtracks? We got it all on UHF.

It's been a rough and expensive week at the oontz farm and super quiet here in the digital neighbourhood.

Could you:

• Chuck me a follow here and/or subscribe to my occasional and zero corporate tracking mail list as the feed is not always reliable to communicate events and releases?

• Check out my growing #peertube channel including footage from my NHAM/tibTV concert. @controlfreak https://makertube.net/c/controlfreak_channel/videos

• Have you checked out REPLICATE 1.0, my recent dark electronic renditions #covers album of alt and pop bangers and clangers from the 80s to present? #newRelease #nowPlaying #fediMusic https://music.control.org/replicate1/

• In addition to serenading your neighbours, I would love to be the soundtrack to your moving pictures, animation, video game, physical installation space, haunted house, or any and all cool or punching upward projects you might have or could link me up with? I am seeking donate what you can if you can #commissions for remix and sound assets and am also super happy to offer or tweak existing things from the catalogue for your brief. I can brighten up the tone and sound if that suits.

• Or #donations always welcome if you don't need any sound but would like to just support/sponsor more of all of the above happening, I do enjoy having heat and meds, keep my inclusive and safer online live shows growing as I am unable to physically tour or work for others' tours, and help a subsistence farmer get more aggressively positive sonic assault out there free for the people. https://control.org/#solidarity

• boosts on things from my feed are swell but EVEN BETTER, if you have a minute, maybe tag me up and make a post in your own words about something you enjoyed or was pleasantly surprised by etc from my shows, releases, remixes? I have no idea what to say.

Thanks for your help.

Let's stomp in solidarity.

I like cleaning drains more than doing promo waffle but I did an interview about the REPLICATE 1.0 release and more: https://nham.co.uk/2026/02/interview-with-controlfreak/
