    True Lovers Making Music And Events That Uplift The Dark Underground With Poxsey | 502

    Poxsey is an underground duo formed in Los Angeles in June 2025. Known for their unique identity which they describe as both “cutesy and cursed,” the group blends elements of dark wave, industrial rock, EBM, and grunge. The duo consists of singer Violet and producer Justin Symbol. Their sound pairs dreamy brooding lyrics with industrial beats and haunting synth, drawing inspiration from acts like Crystal Castles, Nine Inch Nails, and Hole. Their latest EP—POXSEY III—is a raw uncompromising visceral ride. The songs were accidentally deleted twice by Violet during chaotic moves, forcing the band to start over and reinvent. The result is an honest and captivating snapshot of their lifestyle, merging 90s alt goth aesthetics and pounding industrial techno into something uniquely Poxsey.

    Devotion To Aztec Corn Goddess Chicomehcoatl | 500

    For episode 500 I felt it was time to introduce one of my new collaboration partners who has been adorned as and embodied by the Aztec corn goddess Chicomehcoatl. We are joined by an interpreter so we could tell the story of our efforts to make music and videos across borders and across language barriers. It's been an honor to work with her and I’m hopeful she will be blessed for joining forces with me. This is a public episode.

    Celebrating The Diverse And Intimate Coachella Valley Goth Vibe With Dead Stare | 494

    Born in 2023 in the Coachella Valley, Dead Stare is your long awaited collision of grit and goth combined with metal intensity. A sonic offspring of bands like Metallica, Ministry, and Twin Tribes that helped breathe life into haunted synths and crushing riffs. Dead Stare is a statue, as shown by the white mask, with a human trapped underneath, shown by the red paint, who is destined to dance for eternity. The goal for 2026 has been 10 original songs and 10 shows. So far I am at 8/10 songs with “Into the Future We Made” just releasing recently. I’ve also surpassed my show goal and am now hosting my own goth night in the Coachella Valley called Desert Death with 3 done so far and 6 more events scheduled and booked. I am now embarking on my next mission which is a secret project to be unveiled on October 22nd. Dead Stare is the unveiling of a life long dream born from obsession, isolation, and ambition. Join the journey, let the noise consume you, and fall into Dead Stare.
