Biography

Since the release of his first solo album “Pow Wow” in 1982, Stephen Mallinder continued his pioneering work with Cabaret Voltaire, as well as recording and touring with his electro projects Wrangler , Creep Show , Hey Rube , Kula , and Cobby & Mallinder . In addition to his non-stop schedule in electronic music, his professional life as a journalist, broadcaster, producer and now a professor of Digital Music & Sound Art at the University of Brighton, has lead Mallinder to a unique point in his career. Most in his position would be caught up in rosy retrospection, but Mallinder himself says, “There’s too much digital finger-licking right now; every thought and desire at the turn of a dial… well a click of the mouse. And there’s a giddy, false nostalgia about the analogue past. Sorry to burst your bubble but the truth of history is more mundane: practical, pragmatic...Um Dada is about ‘play’ – cut and paste, lost words, twisted presets, voice collage, simple sounds – things that have been lost to technology’s current determinism. Let the machines talk to each other, let them dance .. they lead, we follow.” Mallinder signed to Dais Records in 2019, and released collaborative tracks with Mark Stewart and Eric Random through eMERGENCY heARTS .
