Much like he did early last year, producer/DJ Trevor Jackson has distilled his latest two-disc compilation of dark/minimal/cold/whatever-wave music down into an appetite-whetting mini-mix. Due out September 3rd through Strut, Metal Dance 2 pairs familiar cult favorites like Ministry, Chris & Cosey and Front 242 with rarities and obscurities from far-flung locales like Spain, Germany, Italy and Lebanon.
Check out the breakdown below, right alongside Jackson’s steely preview set…
