Recommended Posts

Neato!

Steve Stoll has worked with many gods of the Industrial World on techno/industrial hybrids over the years, not just Atkins now. Anyone on here ever hear of Gaiden..? (STEVE STOLL & Patrick Codenys of FRONT 242) Put out a few full length albums, worldwide success, had a SPEEDY J remix to boot.

Alongside names like Joey Beltram, Steve Stoll would easily rank amongst the "most important techno figures to EVER emerge from NYC" shortlist. In fact, Steve has lived one of the most profilitic & influential careers in techno history. Never settling for the norm, Steve has always came through with a refreshing unflinching style that is undeniably "Stoll". Steve's extensive discography feels like reading a book, beefed up with remixes from close friends Cari Lekebusch & Damon Wild to fellow staple artists such as Speedy J, The Advent, Joey Beltram, & Hardfloor just to name a few - not to mention he has personally remixed everyone from Gary Numan to DJ Rush. Steve has had the pleasure of playing for crowds all over the world from Europe to Asia at some of the biggest clubs and festivals including I Love Techno, Fuse, Omen, Cocoon, Tresor, Mayday, Love Parade, 10 Days of Techno, Mt. Fuji to name a few. Besides all these accomplishments, he is also the founder & owner of staple techno labels "proper n.y.c." & "212 productions" amongst various sub-labels. Steve's unique sound / productions brought him to global fame & have always caught the ears & eyes of techno's biggest players.

Stoll has been banging around the worldwide techno and electronic scene since the early '90s. His first 12" was released on Richie Hawtin's Probe imprint. Since that time, Stoll has followed standard techno artist protocol by changing labels, handles and partners only slightly less often than his synth patches. His recordings can be found under Steve Stoll, Dark Man, Mr. Proper, Gaiden, Acid Farm, Ausgang, Datacloud and of course his most famous moniker the "Blunted Boy Wonder", and on a countless range of labels including Mute (London), Music Man (Belgium), Synewave (Poland) and his own label, Proper NYC (just to name a few).

Recently Stoll has been more busy than ever, remixing non stop while developing his own hardware company "Proper Boy" (producing items like custom feedback looping pedals, effects processors etc), not to mention working as a Software developer for Ableton Live. Besides his busy remix schedule, in 2008 Stoll released two new experimental full lengths albums on Fax Records (Germany) amongst a slew of new releases. In 2009 he released an album showcasing his new Ambient project with Jeff Green titled "Tangled" on staple Ambient label Databolem, however he didn't stop there. Later that same year Steve released another full length album featuring 10 tracks titled "Windows to the World" which gained international success, multiple releases including "Proper Dub Plates" on his own imprint Proper NYC, a rework of the classic 212 productions release "Handiwork" feat remix work by Cari Lekebusch, not to mention his phenomenal remix of Little Nobody's "Robota" amongst a slew of other others. As you may have guessed 2010 has shown no sign of slowing down either, Steve is currently knee deep in the studio while also spending time in Chicago working with Martin Atkins (ministry/revolting cocks/nine inch nails) on a new to be released project & following tour. Don't miss Stoll on the peak of his hot streak at this rare Detroit appearance!

That Gaiden CD is ace. Played a couple tracks here and there at City and other events.

Surprised he is working with Atkins. Atkins is hardly legendary, possibly a megalomaniac if anything

Anyways, looks like a cool event. Thanks for the heads up.

Well Steve Stoll is legendary without a doubt, not to mention Woody McBride.

at the Martin Atkins megalomaniac comment.. lol, maybe a little.

As far as the hardly legendary comment, well I guess that would depend on what you consider validates one being "legendary". If it were based on his accomplishments, then one would certainly put him up as a candidate here at least. Former ember of PiL (Public Image Ltd) which of course was the group The Sex Pistols broke into after their break up, Killing Joke, Revolting Cocks, Ministry, Nine Inch Nails. Founder of industrial supergroup Pigface, The Damage Manual, and Murder Inc. Collaborated with Skinny Puppy on the Rx project. World renowned producer. Author of the best selling industry book "TourSmart" with guests like Henry Rollins etc, CEO of Invisible Records & Mattress Factory Recording Studios (est. 1988). Author of countless production software programs etc etc..

Maybe not the in your face, on your tv star.. but major part of the industry since the wee days. Him and Steve Stoll melting minds is nuclear imo.

Anyways, thanks for the positive comment overall man.

Hope to see you there! :)

Martin's resume is greatly exaggerated. He was not an original member of PiL and was in the group only for a brief time. Bill Rieflin played most of the drums on those Ministry & Revco albums. Martin only toured once with Ministry and appeared on a live album. Not sure what his contribution with Revco was if any at all? His time with Killing Joke was when they were way past their heyday. So, easy on the love with old Marty..

I don't think it's celebrity worship to appreciate the contributions a person has made to the musical world. Annnnyways....

Steve Stoll is pretty slick as well. I recently read an interview with him where he said something to the effect of "I feel that to be a true musician, you need to have an open heart and an open mind." I could not agree more.

I can't stay all night as I have to dj, but I'll definitely be stopping down early to check this out :)
