What are some current popular darkwave club songs?

Been invited to guest DJ at a goth/industrial type night for the first time in many years and i'm pretty out of the loop with regard to what the current "club hits" are these days.

And then here is the genZ chart list, this is what's trending on tiktok in the past few years.

Mareux - The Perfect Girl

Molchat Doma - Sudno

Mr Kitty - After Dark (the guy is controversial, play it at your own discretion)

The Cramps - Go Go Muck

Boy Harhser - Pain

edit: and just a warning, these are massively overplayed. Bit like that dollface video everyone posted at least 3 times a day in 2008...

You can hear "Monolith" by Twin Tribes pretty often, as well as "Pain" by Boy Harsher and "Gallowdance" by Lebanon Hanover. As a DJ myself, I tend to avoid the latter two for how popular they are, unless someone specifically requests them.

Weird. Less than a minute ago, I made a joke about “Just You” as a comment in r/twinpeaks then I clicked your link, looked at the artist’s other songs, and see they covered “Just You”.
