- Erhalder is a Basel based sound engineer and composer, specialized in jacking techno, acid and classic electro. Besides his main activity in the studio he occasinally plays live PAs and runs his own fm radio show together with Gert 3000.In the beginning of the 90s Stefan Sommerhalder (aka Erhalder) was introduced to electronic music whilst taping tons of pirate broadcasts from early techno parties. A couple of years later, the passionate funk drummer began to abuse his computer as a musical instrument, enabling him to realise his musical ideas without a band. ‘I started as a tracker composer with tools from the early PC demo scene. 4 channels max, 8 bit mono samples, you know, no need for bitcrushers back then’. His sound is mainly influenced by early Chicago techno, acid house, early rave tapes and classic hip-hop. ‘I combined my favourite elements from different genres and tracks, stuff I could not get my hands on. This was back in the 90s, and I had no Internet access yet. So if I wanted my fav rhymes combined with a 303 line and distorted amen breaks, there was only one way to do it: DIY’. The minimalistic sound of Wolfgang Voigt’s Studio 1 series became a massive influence too. ‘My early music was minimalistic anyway. If you can use maximum of 4 sounds at the same time (even 4 single drum sounds) you had stripped down minimal sound’. In 2002, Singapore, he released his first 12″, as head and producer of the subversive performer-collective daftN0!ze, a blend of raw funk beats, rave elements and bits of gangstacore madness. ‘In 2004 I started playing live PAs under my stripped down real name (Fan Erhalder) with a new sound, proper mixing and 4-to-the-floor was the king’. Stefan runs monthly FM radio show SlackJackerz together with Gert 3000 and Aunderwex for over 18 years. Besides that, he works as a sound engineer, loves photography and videography.̸2017 Slack Jack EP (AcidWorx, JP) 2017 Drop It Work It EP (Bologna Jacks, IT) 2017 Sforza EP (Bologna Jacks, IT) 2016 Turbo II (Bologna Jacks, IT) 2016 Discotheca EP (Bologna Jacks, IT) 2012 Trigger Baby EP (Double Dot, GER) 2012 Orbiter 1952 (Russian Techno, RU) 2008 Zollamt Reloaded (Geilomat, CH) 2007 Spark Plug (Immigrant, UK) 2007 Samantha Fox (Geilomat, CH) 2006 The Killer Ducks (Immigrant, UK) 2006 Pizza Kurier (Stahlplatten, CH) 2002 In The daftN0!ze Ghetto (Re.Start Violence, SG)
