In the late 80s/90s I DJ'd in a lot of clubs in Bakersfield, San Luis Obispo, and even San Francisco. I also DJ'd in Bakersfield, San Luis Obispo, and Santa Barbara in radio

I am building a spotify playlist of most of the songs that I played on a semi regular basis. I played lots more than this...but these are the ones that stuck around over the years.

I own almost all of these songs and Sunday (IF WE HAVE POWER...storm might be bad) I will be live on Twitch playing a lot of these songs.

Tonight's live stream on Twitch/Kick was a mix of dark wave and synth. I won't be uploading this stream as I noticed there are some clipping issues in the recording. I will work those issues out tomorrow so that Sundays stream can be uploaded to youtube and mixcloud.

I took the last part of 2025 off from DJing. It is 2026 and I will be DJing the following times. On Twitch and Kick @ Lotus_P8

Wednesday 8pm - 10pm eastern
Sunday 8pm - 10pm eastern

Both nights will be the same format.

Dark Alternative, Goth, Industrial, Post Punk, synth-pop.

The difference will be Wednesday will be purely 70s-90s and Sunday nights will include newer music too.

First show will be tonight. I hope you can give it a listen.

First of Four Mixes (This and the next 3 Sunday Mornings). 30 Artists, Their first album and first track on that album. Week 2 will be the same 30 artists and their second album and second song on that album.

It is odd not just having a huge list of songs to pick from but fun putting 30 random songs together to make a nice flow. I think I did a pretty good job placing the 30 songs in the right order. Give it a listen and let me know what you think.

I have my next four Sunday Morning Service shows planned out. It is the same 30 artists and there is a pattern...a method to the song played.
(The order of the bands is not the order they will be played in. I will pick that as I am going).
Anyone have a guess based on the artists and the songs on what the reasoning is for the songs?

This will be the next 4 Sunday Mornings on Twitch. 9am Eastern
