    The Dark Artistry And Italian Roots Of Gothic Goddess Lilinanna | 488

    Linda, aka Lilinanna, is a singer-songwriter originally from Puglia, who grew up in the Marche region. She has been writing since she was a child, and has been composing music vocally since she was a teenager. From an early age, she was exposed to Goth and 1980s New Wave music. She studied guitar and piano, was in a theater company for several years, and attended an Arabic and ethnic dance school for a long time, performing in theaters. During COVID, she wrote the lyrics for what would eventually become her first published song. After COVID, she will resume studying music and experiment with new forms of physical expression such as Butoh Dance and Yoga. Throughout her life, the occult, shamanism, magic, tarot cards, and powerful forms of meditation will be powerful allies in the artist’s growth, where she will channel her creativity into magical singing and channel meditative lyrics and mediumistic abilities. She began releasing music in 2021. At the same time, she is absorbed in the work of other bands. In August 2025, she completed work on her first collection of songs, UNDERWORLD SHELTER. Lilinanna aims to stand out with originality within the Goth and Dark Wave scene, always remaining faithful to what she wants to convey in a song, intimately dedicated to the listener.

    La Vida De Un DJ De Techno Hardcore En Bogotá Con X-FEITH | 486

    X-FEITH Dj es oriundo de un pequeño pueblo a tres horas de la capital de Colombia , el pueblo es chiquiquira. Mi historia en la música nace del propio enamoramiento con la música . Desde niño siempre tuve contacto con la música ya que mi madre escuchaba un género que se llama vallenato y rancheras . Con el tiempo fue descubierto los sonidos tradicionales de mi país Colombia . Pero ya ah eso de los 16 tuve contacto con los primeros sonidos electrónicos Dj como tiesto y Martín garrix eran los más sondados aunque también me gustaba el Rap y el hip hop con el tiempo el amor por los sonidos electrónicos fueron llegando . Despues de mucho tiempo y terminar la escuela viajo a Bogota la capital para poder Iniciar mia estudios como abogado . Ahí fue donde tuve contacto mi primer contacto con sonidos Underground . Realmente conocer y acercarme más a los vinilos al Drum and Bass . Como primer género que escuche en el primer club que en ese tiempo eran pioneros en la música electrónica Underground , Klan 31 más que un club era una casa . Ahí fue donde conocí el Techno , el Hardtechno y el Hardcore . Con el tiempo de conocer Djs muy representativos de la escena colombiana que son reconocidos hoy en día a nivel mundial Como lo Sónico . LEDH Ultragore , Alex Jockey , Acid Zombeat , DaBeat. Ahí fue donde empecé a enamorarme más del Dj y la producion . Con el tiempo deje de estudiar derecho tuve una crisis existencial porque perdí mi pareja.asi que deje todo atrás y me dediqué despues de pasar por un proceso de transición y curación a ser Dj a estudiar en una de las mejores academias llamada Yin Yan estudios ubicada en Bogota con una emisora que la pueden escuchar llamada REC RADIO ELECTRÓNICA COLOMBIA . Una de las primeras emisoras en trasminitir música electrónica 24/7 . Ya al día de hoy el camino ha sido difícil el construir un nombre en la ecensa bogotana me ha constado sudor lágrimas y mucho esfuerzo por poder llegar a ingresar en una industria tan poderosa y además que aca en Bogota es difícil ya que tienes que influenciarte con muchos grupos sociales para poder dar a conocer tu trabajo o tener oportunidad de tocar . Aunque yo lo hago de corazon y amor siempre ha sido difícil llegar aca . Llevo un tiempo interesado por la producion la idea es a futuro poder sacar varios EP de mi música para poder tocar y mezclar mis producion es en cada Set . https://on.soundcloud.com/gTn5iGAPIxan5M14pE https://www.instagram.com/xf3ith_dj_8?igsh=MXhrZGJqaXMxN2xzOQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr https://youtube.com/@xf3ith_dj?si=qaDLoBblKeJse5Au This is a public episode.

    Progressive Social Values And Geo-Politics With Norwegian Cyber-Punk Band Rule Of Two | 482

    Rule of Two is a Norwegian cyberpunk-indie-electronic outfit with a darkwave edge. Formed in 2023 by Ronny Flissundet and Kristian Liljan—veterans of the Norwegian underground hard rock scene through bands like Damokles,KITE and Dunderbeist—the project began as an electronic side venture and quickly evolved into something far greater. Blending dark industrial, glitchy textures, aggressive synths, and mechanical grooves with lush dream pop, shimmering synth pop, ambient textures and a hint of shoegaze, offering a cinematic and emotionally charged soundscape. Inspirations range from bands such as Nine Inch Nails, Carpenter Brut, Depeche Mode and Crosses, to hardcore punk and classical compositions. Their first public release came in January 2024 with the single “Bygones”, and the band has since kept up a prolific pace—releasing over 20 singles, 3 EPs, and 1 full-length album- “Aiming For The Sun” in November 2025. Rule Of Two has so far done a handful of liveshows in Norway as a 5 piece band, and are planning on more shows for the fall of 2026 2026 will also see many single and EP releases + their second full length album.
