Radar: Andi Harriman / Synthicide

Andi Harriman is a NY based DJ, producer, music journalist, and the boss of the party / label, SYNTHICIDE, which promotes live and DJ events all over NYC. She is the author of Some Wear Leather, Some Wear Lace, the worldwide compendium of post-punk and goth in the 1980’s. She is also an EBM artist.

We recently spoke about her upbringing in a Pentacostal family in Appalachia, how she first discovered 80’s Goth subculture, our shared love of Depeche Mode and her unending energy to create environments that support lovers of darker & synth driven sounds from multiple genres with no barriers. We both agree that there should be more women everywhere.

I really love everything that Andi makes & think she has an amazing story. I suggest heading over to Synthicide on Instagram where you can keep track of the events. You can find Andi’s page @andi80’s which has links to her music and piles of great stuff including vinyl over on Bandcamp on the Synthicide page.
