midierror meets... Robert Luis - Tru Thoughts Records Nov 14, 2025

In this episode, we hear from Robert Luis - co-founder and A&R at Tru Thoughts Records. - running for 26 years and founded in Brighton alongside Paul Jonas in 1999. In that time they’ve put out over 260 records, signing the likes of Quantic, Bonobo, Flowdan, Hot 8 brass Band, Alice Russel, Moonchild, and many more, as well as being crowned Gilles Peterson ‘Label of The Year’ along the way.

We discuss how Rob A&Rs the label, how they’ve evolved since they started, how they make money from sync licenses, and how the minefield of clearing samples has worked (or not) over the years. Rob’s Unfold Radio show has been running for 2 decades, showcasing the finest talent on the label, as well as dropping some of his own VIP Dubplates - well worth a listen. Look out for the Tru Thought 2026 compilation album coming soon!

midierror meets... JOMOX - 30 Years of Iconic Techno Machines Sep 26, 2025

In this episode, we speak to Jürgen Michaelis of JOMOX; the creator of some of the most essential and iconic techno machines over the last 3 decades, including the MBase, XBase, AlphaBase, Moonwind, M.Brane, Sunsyn, T-Resonator, and Resonator Neuronium (the latter is a neural network synth). We speak with Jurgen about how he got started, modding TR-909s and other gear, and discuss the polyphonic harmonic distortion he built into a guitar in 1988.

Jurgen single handedly runs JOMOX - designing the internal PCBs and electronic circuits, as well as creating their incredible casings, forming the UI/UX and much more - certainly a man of many talents! Users of his equipment include Prince, Trent Reznor, Depeche Mode, Aphex Twin and anyone you’d care to mention in electronic music. We also discuss some of his art projects and installations as well as the benefits of meditation, and what else he’s working on.

In this episode, we hear from Geoff Reader aka DJ Cheesemaster from Brighton’s longest running live experimental music night; Spirit of Gravity.

For the last 25 YEARS, the collective have hosted a monthly music event with 3 acts per night, with a focus on bringing experimental music and sound performances to the fore. While live outsider art and experimental sound generation are welcomed they have some illustrious alumni, including Shitmat, Metronomy, Tim Exile, Scanner, Toshimaru Nakamura, Monty Oxymoron, Asmus Tietchens, David Thomas, Eugene Chadbourne, and many more.

The night is a perennial fixture in Brighton’s music scene - an enduring event at a time when live music is sadly struggling. We hear from the compare and collective member, Geoff who is known for donning a ginger wig and hosting the events as only he knows how. We also discuss SoG gives people from any walk of life a stage to perform and express their sound art, music projects, and stories - with some incredibly experimental, and sometimes challenging shows.

midierror meets... Scanner - Artist, Composer, & Sound Designer | Series 2 Episode 8 Jul 09, 2025

Welcome to the latest episode of the midierror meets... interview series speaking to all kinds of people working in music and sound.
In this episode, we hear from Scanner aka Robin Rimbaud - a ridiculously prolific artist, composer, sound designer, performer, collaborator, curator, and activist. He made his name searching radio frequencies for fragments of conversations, messages and announcements - which he lovingly intertwined with his own musical pieces and performances. His career spans culture across a spectrum of disciplines; including music, cinema, ballet, art, drama, theatre, installations and much more. We caught up with him last year soundtracking the films of Harry Smith in Brighton, which he's done for the likes of Jean Luc-Goddard,as well as working in collaboration with people like Steve McQueen, Laurie Anderson and many more. We talk about what it's like to be a public figure with an image to uphold, owning Aphex Twin's Buchla, and how to ghost-bust your house - and whether to sample it or not! Robin also presents Ear Space, a monthly exploration of sounds and music. https://scannerdot.com/ https://www.totallyradio.com/shows/earspace This is series 2, episode 1 and there are 50 previous episodes available now featuring Fatboy Slim, CJ Bolland, Andrew Huang, Tim Exile, High Contrast, Mylar Melodies, Infected Mushroom, DJ Rap, John Grant and many more.

midierror meets... Cosey Fanni Tutti - Artist, Musician & Writer | Series 2 Episode 7 Jun 09, 2025

Welcome to the latest episode of the midierror meets... interview series speaking to all kinds of people working in music and sound.
In this episode, we're speaking with COSEY FANNI TUTTI, co-founder of the boundry-pushing Throbbing Gristle and performance-art duo COUM Transmissions alongside Genesis-P-Orridge. Cosey is known for her expansive electronic explorations - encompassing abstract, industrial, ambient, and experimental music, which has often been deeply connected to her own performance art.
She was said to be a "wrecker of civilisation" by a Conservative MP after an art exhibition called "Prostitution" in 1976, and she continues to shake up what is deemed to be mainstream.
She has released a succession of albums alongside Chris Carter, as Carter Tutti as well as Chris & Cosey, with the duo also collaborating with Nik Colk Void on CARTER TUTTI VOID material in subsequent years. In 2012, she soundtracked 'Delia Derbyshire: The Myths and Legendary Tapes' - a film about the influential composer using sounds collected from Delia’s own attic tapes. Her book 'Art Sex Music' is a multi-award winning Book of the Year, and she has a new solo album out this Friday 13th June, entitled 2t2.

midierror Meets - Melle Brown: Producer, DJ, and Presenter | Series 2 Episode 6 May 23, 2025

Welcome to the next episode of the midierror meets... interview series speaking to all kinds of people working in music and sound.
In this episode, we're speaking with MELLE BROWN - a London born Producer, DJ, and Presenter known for her uplifting combination of Jazz, Neo Soul, and House. Melle went to The Brit School, and found a love of production making music for her theatrical classes. Moving into Music Technology, she released her first EP 'Blossom' which was played on 1XTRA before she even graduated! Melle worked at Warner Records for over two years and went on to be part of radio shows on RinseFM, NTS, and Represent Radio. Melle later got signed to influential DJ and Presenter Jamz Supernova's 'Future Bounce' label and released her 'Intersection EP' featuring Grammy nominated Tiana Major9 - which gained support from Elton John and Trevor Nelson. She was mentored by Fred Again and Kamille as part of the 'She Is The Music' programme, where she met Toddla T. Later on, her track 'Feel About You' - an unexpected collaboration with him and Annie Mac, won 'Best Dance Track of The Year’ in the 2022 Billboard awards.
Melle has played Printworks, Glastonbury, Boomtown, Fabric, Field Day and she'll be playing a number of festivals this year: She also heads the 'Mellody Agency' - a music business with community at its core. Her new track 'Spirit' is out now on Fatboy Slim's Southern Fried Records!

midierror Meets: Hexstatic - Series 2 -Ep 01 Feb 10, 2025

The 'midierror meets...' interview series is back for Series 2 with Sonicstate, speaking to all kinds of people working in music and sound. For this 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 also has a lovely synth collection, including an ARP Quadra, Solina String Synth, and Thomas Dolby signed TB-303. https://www.holotronica.com/ https://stuartwarrenhill.com/ This is series 2, episode 1 and there are 50 previous episodes available now featuring Fatboy Slim, CJ Bolland, Andrew Huang, Tim Exile, High Contrast, Mylar Melodies, Infec

Sonic TALK Special: Interview With Hazel Mills Jun 19, 2023

Sonic TALK interview special:

Youtube video version: https://youtu.be/yUc3XQSUZu

Hazel's Title Track The Embrace: https://youtu.be/yUc3XQSUZuY

Hazel Mills is a quietly successful musician, with her work with Goldfrapp, Florence and The Machine, the Moog Ensemble, she's toured the world as a keyboard player, synthesis and vocalist.

You may remember our chat with her at the Goldfrapp gig in Bath where we got a look at the rig and how she performed with cutting edge live tech.

This Spring, Hazel released a new EP titled "The Embrace" with four excellent tracks made together with long-time collaborator TJ Allen.

We had a chat with her a couple of weeks back, just after she landed from a gig with the Moog Ensemble in Australia.

We then discuss the excellent documentary/interview with Peter Zinovieff of EMS, followed by a bit of a mixed bag from Sony and there new X-Series Walkman announced just at the time when they also post enormous losses.

Finally we offer suggestions on how to tackle the situation when you are asked "what do you think of my music/gig?".

Sonic TALK118 - Michael Jacksons Swarovski Socks Feb 18, 2009

After wondering where the EMS Synthi 100 system will go that's currently on eBay, and the items for sale in the Michael Jackson auction, we move on to the announcement that company behind Muzak - yes there really is one has announced Chapter 11 after more than 80 years in business, then the discovery that Madonna was last years top earner in the music list from Billboard, we ponder the ethereal world of top level high production touring. next is the Tonehammer Digeridoo sample library and others, then finally it's on to 3D vision and audio with a touch of 5.1 surround thrown in.

Sonic TALK115 - I'm Sorry, I Dont Understand Jan 29, 2009

Our first topic is based on the news that Steve Jobs is leaving Apple for a period of recuperation after the announcement of his illness. Many commentators are predicting the demise of Apple if he leaves them for good, but I'm not so sure. If that were the case, how do are panel handle the loss of a creative plaftorm? Then we're on to Quantum Leap's Silk - the new ethnic sound library from producer Nick Phoenix - and how is it working with no common language, next up Roland's V-Piano and modeling in general. And finally the TC Helicon Voice Live 2 - is that impressive or what?
