Thank you @darkentries.bsky.social 💌 @fabtenace.bsky.social

Really exceptional music, and a sad, sweet story. I'm so glad someone is compiling and archiving the music, it's just lovely 🎶

Stories that need to be told.

Both this article and the music is so fucking cool.

What about gay? Where’s the gay voice in all of this? It’s all been erased, forgotten, lost to AIDS or thrown out. I’ve literally been working on this for 16 years trying to amplify this underground gay music scene. - Josh Cheon interviewed by the Guardian www.theguardian.com/music/2026/f...

a fantastic record to listen to on this full moon 🌕 thank you @darkentries.bsky.social as always!

Q Lazzarus's story is a reminder that talent and artistry can come from unexpected places, and that even a single song can leave an indelible mark on the world ❤️ darkentriesrecords.com/store/music/vinyl/lp/q-lazzarus-goodbye-horses/

We’re kicking off our 2026 schedule with an album by electronic artist Group Rhoda. The album, Phase 5, is set to land on 13 February, and is the fifth full-length work by Group Rhoda, aka producer Mara Barenbaum. grouprhoda.bandcamp.com/album/phase-5

What were the most interesting queer musicians doing during the 1980s? There’s no one answer of course, but Dark Entries is making a pretty compelling case that some of the most adventurous figures were in fact making gay porn soundtracks. firstfloor.substack.com/p/spider-taylor-surge-studio-music

Demonstrators as far as the eye can see. Current status of the march in Downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota for Ice Out of Minnesota. They are turning onto 3rd Street from 5th Avenue.

Electronic pioneer Patrick Cowley released a mere 3 albums in his lifetime. 'Hard Ware' is Dark Entries' third part of a trilogy of dance tracks - the depth and breadth of these hitherto unreleased works is impressive, not to mention miraculously abundant, given that he left us when he was just 32.

A slice of synthesizer art-pop: "White Fur" by Group Rhoda effortlessly glides between soundworlds into vocoder-driven space electro. From the album Phase 5, out Feb 13th. Footage from "Transition De Phase Dans Les Cristaux Liquides" by Jean Painlevé, 1978. grouprhoda.bandcamp.com/album/phase-5

Outstanding track from that album. #Techno

My NTS show this month is dedicated to Perry Bamonte of The Cure. My first Cure concert was in 1997 and I stood at the foot of the stage right in front of Perry. I was so thrilled when he rejoined the band for Songs of Lost World tour in 2022, so I got to see him a few more times. nts.live

We felt like we were part of the Yellow Magic Orchestra family, which we loved very much. I would go to Masao's place after my modeling sessions and record vocals with the lyrics I had written and my improvised melodies from the demo tapes he gave me. Evelyne Bennu evelynemasao.bandcamp.com

Fallen Angel 2 is a vision of desire that is fierce, hellish, and absolutely hypnotic. And underneath it all, there is the sinister music of Brandy Dalton, a ceaseless groove that is the offspring of Coil and Moby www.darkentriesrecords.com/store/music/vinyl/lp/brandy-dalton-fallen-angel/

Superb archival electro anomaly from Slovenia circa 1984…strange, eerie and hypnotic. Absolutely original sounds with tribal and melancholy elements and always an undercurrent of eroticism: Borghesia ‘Clones’ borghesiaebm.bandcamp.com/album/clones

On Repeat This Weekend! 'Testpattern' by Evelyne Bennu + Masao Hiruma (of Yellow Magic Orchestra). This was originally recorded back in the early 80's. A total vibration! #JapaneseElectronics Thanks to @darkentries.bsky.social for releasing!

If nothing else, at least I got some gay porn soundtracks I’m excited about from @darkentries.bsky.social
