I’ll be honest: Superpitcher’s Today? Not really that great, in my opinion. A definition of microgoth? OK. Sounds like a pretty poorly mixed and boring genre to me. I’d much rather listen to electro-goth, I guess, if the most recent mix by Damian Lazarus is any indication. Crucially, it doesn’t allow the intensity to falter, has a better selection of tracks, and climaxes with the Michael Mayer mix of “Happiness,” rather than the moody Lawrence version. In the end, it all comes down to taste: do you a DJ mix that is the most tasteful and emotional of the year or do you want one that bangs? I’ll take the one that does both, instead of just one.
