    The UNHEARD Music No. 634

    Digital Mixtape No. 634 - Where The Dial Goes DarkSome mixes start with a concept. This one started with a chorus. A few weeks ago "More" by The Sisters of Mercy got stuck in my head. Specifically the chorus — "And I need all the love that I can't get too." I couldn't shake it. Didn't want to. So I dropped it into a playlist by itself and started building around it. That's how this mix was born. 👉 Full playlist + Inside the Mix — a weekly column from The UNHEARD Music, going deeper than the tracklist, tracing the sounds, scenes, and shifts behind the mix, available on Substack: https://theunheardmusic.substack.com/- Always Digging Deeper -Thanks so much for tuning in—if you enjoyed the episode, please take a moment to like and follow the show. It really helps!

    The UNHEARD Music No. 633

    Digital Mixtape No. 633 - Downtown NYC After MidnightThis mix is exactly what you were hearing at Danceteria, the Peppermint Lounge and The Mudd Club after midnight. Dance-Punk. Mutant Disco.

    The UNHEARD Music No. 632

    Digital Mixtape No. 632 - Dance Music For The AlternativesFrom the first note to the last, this mix makes one argument — that alternative music was always dance music. Just not the kind they were playing on the radio. 👉 Full playlist + Inside the Mix — a weekly column from The UNHEARD Music, going deeper than the tracklist, tracing the sounds, scenes, and shifts behind the mix, available on Substack: https://theunheardmusic.substack.com/- Always Digging Deeper -Thanks so much for tuning in—if you enjoyed the episode, please take a moment to like and follow the show.

    The UNHEARD Music No. 631

    Digital Mixtape No. 631This mix runs backwards. It opens in the late 80s with alternative rock, works its way back through mid 80s new wave, moves into early 80s post-punk, and closes out with late 70s punk. By the time it's done it has traveled about a decade in reverse without ever losing the thread. 👉 Full playlist + Inside the Mix — a weekly column from The UNHEARD Music, going deeper than the tracklist, tracing the sounds, scenes, and shifts behind the mix, available on Substack: https://theunheardmusic.substack.com/- Always Digging Deeper -Thanks so much for tuning in—if you enjoyed the episode, please take a moment to like and follow the show.

    The UNHEARD Music No. 629

    Digital Mixtape No. 629This mix moves in a few different directions without forcing anything. It starts tight and restless, opens up as it goes, and then pulls back into something more atmospheric before snapping into a direct finish. You can hear the shifts as they happen. 👉 Full playlist + Inside the Mix — a weekly column from The UNHEARD Music, going deeper than the tracklist, tracing the sounds, scenes, and shifts behind the mix, available on Substack: https://theunheardmusic.substack.com/- Deeper than the 80's -Thanks so much for tuning in—if you enjoyed the episode, please take a moment to like and follow the show.
