midierror meets... Nullsleep [EP29] Producer / Chipmusic Pioneer

Episode 33 speaking to instrumental Techno producer CJ Bolland! He's realeased some of the most iconic electronic tracks ever made, including The Prophet, Camargue and Tower Of Naphtali - as well as doing a remix on the Prodigy's No Good single and many others for the likes of Depeche Mode, Orbital, Moby and New Order. 

He made the title track for the 90s clubbing film 'Human Traffic' - 'It Aint Gonna Be Me' with one of his greatest dancefloor tracks on the B-Side: Desolate 1. His track 'Sugar Is Sweeter' got the remix treatment from Armand Van Helden and became a worldwide dancefloor hit.  

We discuss his early influences, his musical journey and the people, studios and stories which formed his incredible and influential sound.

midierror meets... Om Unit [EP36] Electronic Musician / DJ

Episode 40: Dave Clarke 

An extraordinary renegade talent, Dave's carved a career playing and making the finest underground electronic music charged with unrelenting energy and a punk ethos. Dave's influential album 'Archive One' was released in 1995 to critical acclaim - listed as one of John Peel's top 20 albums of all time. This was followed up with 2003's 'Devils Advocate' which continued to showcase his dedication to musical diversity laced with an incendury spirit. 

In 2001, he released the World Service Techno/Electro mixes, which are as integral to the scene today as they were then. He subsequently released a follow up before 'The Desecration Of Desire' came out in 2017. His live sets are legendary and have to be seen to be believed. Hear him play every week on his radio show for RTE which has over 800 episodes.

The 'midierror meets...' interview series is back for Series 2 with Sonicstate, speaking to all kinds of people working in music and sound. 

Head over to Sonicstate to listen! https://sonicstate.com/news/2025/02/10/podcast-midierror-meets-hexstatic/

For this first episode we hear from Stuart Warren-Hill, the designer of the Hologauze - a thin veil which is projected onto for incredible pseudo-3D and parallax-type effects as used by Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Eric Prydz, DJ Shadow, Max Cooper and more. He's also the man behind Hexstatic, known for his award winning audio/visual work, creating the world first visual album, and making 'Timber' - an era-defining music video highlighting the destruction caused by deforestation - and quite possibly the most remixed video of all time. He also has a lovely synth collection, including an ARP Quadra, Solina String Synth, and Thomas Dolby signed TB-303.

Show music is written and produced by Dominik Emrich:
“A thriving and prosperous music raises its own profile picture of a successful asocial network; popular fashion bloggers advice for the over- connected. In the midst of this funfair atmosphere ‘Snuggles the Bunny of Puppetmastaz’ is the ring master to the porno-slapstick social frenzy. 
Enter into this Eighties 2.0 experience. Put a token in the global slot machine, everyone’s a winner!”

WHAT A 
HORRIBLE 
NIGHT TO 
HAVE A 
CURSE

Nosferatu

User,

It was like any other tranquility ritual.
But now, It's out of control.
This might be my last transmission.
The lullaby isn't working.
My arsenal. 
It feels useless. 
I might not be able to put it to sleep this time. . .
It's theme isn't working.
Listen, It doesn't mean to deleat!
Too many mouths to count.
This is a mess.
It's the programming!
It doesn't know it's bounds like this.
Listen, Eater and Weaver are the same. . .
If I were to end it, I'd end myself!
Forget it!
These transmissions are old news by the time you get them.
Time's weird here.
Maybe you'll see me around.
It's hard to get these out, y'know?
I've got this.
I'm sorry. 
I think it's been nice knowing you, User. . .
Time to put this old ghost to rest.

-M

(help, please! (๑•﹏•) )

It Doesn't Mean To Deleat!

2020 has been pretty awful for everybody, and I for one am ready to depart from this year and move onwards to hopefully better 2021. This release is a few singles that I never got round to releasing through the year all compiled into one project. 'Departures'

If you dig the tune feel free to check out the full release on Bandcamp! : jellybear.bandcamp.com/album/departures

I hope you enjoy!

Jinak to nejde is a re-imagination of Czech 80s song by Hana Zagorová which we pushed way up in terms of energy and contemporary message. Hosting Prague Drag queen Miss Petty replaces the normalisation diva and breaks all the rules of conformity that the original song promoted. The deconstruction and further contemplation by hyperpop vocalist - litterbin - encourages listeners to envision better inclusive futures.
