Eat Static - 'Broken Morning'...(Aliens ate my cornflakes mix)

On Day 1 @ Ozora Festival 2024 this year, Eat Static went on stage, as only the second act, following the opening ceremony and Medicine Drum's set..now you can hear Merv on blistering form, as he blasts out his own unique brand of Alien craziness, manipulating multiple channels of audio through FX, analogue outboard gear and who knows what else! As with every set he has played at Ozora, since way back in 2011, this is another emotional rollercoaster of a ride! Hold on tight humans!

HUMANS!! Here you can listen to Eat Static unleashed, once again, on the magical Dome Stage at Ozora Festival this year (2024)..
This stage has always had a special place in our favourite alien's heart, as it was the first stage he ever played there, way back in 2011...this is the stage where, year after year, Merv plays all his latest and greatest favourite Techno tunes, the music of his roots and where he literally, began experimenting with electronic music and Acid House, way back in 1987..so strap yourself in folks and join Eat Static on a blissful journey to his trademark alien worlds and the places beyond!!

Here we have it folks! From the darkest depths of Somerset, on Merv's home turf, a DJ set from the Heaven Stage, nestled in the wacky Shangri La area of the legendary Glastonbury Festival..The weekend was hosted by the king of chillout spaces, Mr Mixmaster Morris himself and we finally have here, some real evidence proving that Merv actually DID play an Ambient set once, in the Chillout Arena! When asked was he behaving and following the rules just because Prince Harry happened to be hanging out there that day, he replied gruffly ''who the fuck is Prince Harry? Never heard of him...''

Another classic Eat Static performance from the annual 'Wobbly Sunday' in the legendary 'Magical Sounds Tent' right in the heart of the wonderful & unique UK festival - BEARDED THEORY..well known for it's diverse and eclectic line-ups, Magical Sounds have been essential in preserving the Old School festival vibes whilst always bringing the cream of the underground psychedelic music back to the people, both new acts and long forgotten pioneers..it has also been the adopted, second home for the occasionally resurrected legendary 'MEGADOG' nights..long may it continue!

A special Eat Static gig from Nov. 2015, where original Eat Static member, Steve Everitt, joined Merv Pepler on stage once more for a special, totally improvised, fully modular set. What a more fitting place than a small village hall near Peterborough in the UK which, earlier that day, had been the place for the traditional modular meetup that a few underground nerds participate in when they can sneak away from their wives, now and then...
Eat Static were also joined onstage by renegade EMS fanatic Basil Brooks who stormed many a free festival in the old days with his crazy band 'Zorch' and modular female artiste Cary Grace, the new head honcho at Wiard Modular Systems who brought along her custom system to add to the mix..
Gig personnel:
Merv Pepler - Eurorack modular, SH101, Screechertron
Steve Everitt - Vostok, Eurorack percussion, Octotrack, Arcade manifold
Basil Brooks - EMS synthi a
Cary Grace - Wiard modular, voice
