People often refer to Front 312 as an industrial night. I want to set the record straight on this. It is not really an industrial night, although we do play industrial music. The whole concept centers around the late-eighties club scene in Chicago. We had wanted to do something in line with that time period for a while, but we also wanted to incorporate elements of new music that would make it relevant to a younger generation of club-goers.
While the regular industrial night attendee might be tired of hearing old Ministry or Revolting Cocks, most of us need to remember that the average college kid who goes out on Friday night has probably never heard these classics. The whole point of Front 312 is to make this music accessible to a wider group of people, and pull it out of the niche event nights and venues that are marketed specifically to the goth/industrial crowd.
An interesting recent review of MSTRKRFT's "Fist of God" in Filter actually complained about the current electro phenomenon, and cited "Godlike" and "No Name, No Slogan" as classic dance tracks that were better than the current banger anthems. Instead of allowing ourselves to become bitter and jaded about the scene, however, we elected to move forward and start mixing MSTRKRFT, The Presets, and Motor with Front 242, Nitzer Ebb, and Throbbing Gristle. Some call it blasphemy. We like to think of it as getting people excited about this music. Let us prevent this music from falling into the grimy hands of genre purism, and bring it back to the people where it belongs.
