/DJ /Rivet /018 /24-Feb 2023
After taking over eighteen months away from /Rivet, we realised EBM Day (24/2) fell on a Friday this year, so it was time to bring it out of retirement one more time.

/Memory of a Festival /037 /Cold Waves X
That what started out as a hastily-scheduled event to celebrate the life of Jamie Duffy has turned into a large, multi-day, multi-city festival over the past decade is something of wonder: but what is also great is how it has fostered a wider family of sorts, one of multiple groups that come together from all […]
/DJ /Circling Overland – Infest Special /003 /23-Aug 2022
With Infest coming this weekend, I dusted down the virtual decks and did an Infest preview set, that stretched out to nearly three-and-a-half hours.
/Talk Show Host/075/Collide
The first interview of 2022 on /amodelofcontrol.com is with a band I’ve long wanted to talk to – and indeed I’ve been listening to them for a long time. LA-based darkwave/goth/industrial (more on genre fluidity and definitions later) band Collide has been part of my musical life for over two decades, a group that never […]
/DJ /Circling Overland /002 /24-Feb 2022
24-Feb was determined to be International EBM Day a few years back (24/2 – geddit?), and so increasingly, it has become a day where the roots and history of the musical style are celebrated.
/DJ/Kiss Your Shadow/001 – 21-Sep 2021
After taking some time away from livestreaming for a while – I needed the break, as life had got a bit busier otherwise – I felt the urge to return this past week.
/DJ/Rivet/017 – 28-May 2021
After some years of talking about it – and struggling to find a venue – Andy and I decided finally to bring /Rivet back in 2020, and in 2021, we’re back as long as lockdown allows.
/Talk Show Host/072/Terminal
A couple of months ago, I recorded two lengthy interviews with new artists that I wanted to talk about. Then, we got caught up in work and a house move, and they had to sit on the backburner for a bit. But now we’re successfully moved, and I’ve had a spare evening to sit down, […]
/DJ/Rivet/005 – 01-May 2020
The current lockdown has stopped the entertainment industry – at least in terms of physical venues – dead in its tracks, but I guess one of the benefits of the internet age is that we can do things online instead. Thus, after some years of talking about it – and struggling to find a venue […]
/Here Is The Place/001/Industrial in the UK – an introduction
Thirty years ago, I first dipped my toes into alternative music thanks to the new-found wonders of MTV’s 120 Minutes, found Front 242 and Faith No More, and it literally changed my life. But as a not-even-teenager at this stage, my only outlet to discuss music were my slightly older stepbrothers (it took a long […]
/Transmission/002/the a-z of industrial/b
The second part of Transmission, the a-z of industrial. Finding bands within the genre beginning with B turned out to be more difficult than I perhaps expected, and made me realise that certain letters may well end up spreading over more than one episode. But that’s for the future.
/Transmission/001/the a-z of industrial/a
I’ve been hinting at this for a while, and finally, here we go. amodelofcontrol.com, as I’ve hinted, has gained a voice at last, and if you’ve never heard me speak before (in my previous days on Dark Assimilation, or on occasional guest appearances at I Die: You Die), here’s your chance I guess.
