Jim Semonik is the founder of Distortion Productions and he shares with me how his cancer diagnosis inspired his current project, Electronic Saviors, as well as his passion for electronic and industrial music. We also discuss the brand new “Respect the Prime: The Constructed Cold EP”, featuring songs inspired by the Transformers comic books, along with the “Respect the Prime 1986 Revisited” album, which is an industrial tribute to the Transformers: The Movie soundtrack.
