Chip Stress 14 - Space Trips (CHIP14)

First collab with Bioscillator - otherwise known for his chiptune releases as STU and atari-tracker wizardry. It's just an 808, Alpha Juno & JX-3P; shaped later with some digi strings, modular bleeps and some in-the-box magic.

Erhalder is on a mission with his 303-powered submarine. At first it's time to pack up - facing difficulty to find the right stuff. But finally remembering who is the king of The Stuff. Time for the 2nd journey, diesel running fine, Ahoy! Discovering infrasonics at a submerged depth of 909 feet. Clap on kick says the Morse code. Time is ready to attack with this Sweet Submarine. Torpedoes ready, take the cake. Acid is leaking into the engine room and the floor getting Slippery.

Machine Reflections

DJ Wank - Machine Escape (Erhalder Remix)

i found this recording of an almost 13 year old live set, performed under some highway bridge. the flyer says something like "after 10 years - the legendary under-the-bridge-parties are back" so i if i do the math this means the organizers were throwing parties back there in 1994/95...
the set was quickly put together and spiced up with some classic rave sounds at the end.
organized by the futuristic.ch and underground pleasure.
recording date: august 05 2006 near weinfelden.

Stefan Erhalder - Sound Designer, Live Act, Oldschool nostalgic.
I love to ride the wild horse. Specialized in jacking #techno, #acid and #classic #electro. Running and releasing on chipstress.net


Stefan Sommerhalder, better known by his stage name Erhalder, is an electronic music composer and label owner from Basel, Switzerland.
Erhalders interest in electronic music was sparked in the early 90s with a tape copy of The White Room by The KLF, which had a significant influence on his musical taste. During the school years, he played the drums, listening and replaying old funk music by James Brown.
A few years later, Stefan was making tunes with free software known as trackers, which is one of the oldest tools available to make computer music without any external gear, MIDI, or money.
In 1998, Erhalder started and still runs his radio show, “SlackJackerz – The Rave Channel,” on the local FM station Kanal K, with his fellow friend Gert 3000.

In 2002, Erhalder released his first 12″ as the head and producer of the subversive performer-collective daftN0!ze, which was a blend of raw funk beats, rave elements, and bits of gangstacore madness.

In 2004, he started playing live performances under the name Erhalder, which is just a shortened form of his real Surname, with a new minimalistic techno oriented sound that showcased his evolution as a musician. Erhalder’s live music is heavily influenced by early Chicago techno, acid house and UK hardcore. He was also inspired by the minimalistic sound of Wolfgang Voigt’s Studio 1 series, which became a significant influence on his work during the mid-2010s.

Although the classic 303 acid sound was always an integral part of his live shows, he released his first two pure acid EPs in 2017/2018 on AcidWorx.

In 2018, he formed the techno duo Aux Couture together with Nenad J. – focusing on functional techno to make you sweat. With their debut «M.F. Dance» they scored some nice feedback from the crowds as well as some veteran djs.

in 2020, he started his own label Chip Stress, where he releases his classic electro tracks. Now for the first time he shares making of videos about the process of recording the tracks and started to grow his Youtube channel, which enables him to interact with an interested audience in a direct way.

Besides his music career, Stefan is a post-production sound engineer, working for commercial clients. This allows him to gain valuable insights into the technical aspects of audio production and keep his engineering skills up to speed.
Erhalder’s love for music extends beyond his compositions, as he has also started a YouTube channel that features production-related content, offering valuable insights into his creative process and techniques.
