Biography

Back in 2006, Gavin Miller sat at a computer in his bedroom and put the finishing touches on some tracks to upload to his MySpace account. Searching for a band name, he eventually decided on the username he had on an internet forum for Belgian art-rock band dEUS, itself named after one of their more obscure songs.

Two decades on, and worriedaboutsatan is still here, still putting finishing touches to songs in bedrooms, still a firm believer in doing things yourself.

From humble beginnings, the band is now firmly entrenched in the DIY electronic underground. After 20 years of touring and releasing, it would be an understatement to say the band has done a lot in that time. From regularly featuring in Adam Curtis BBC documentaries (not to mention working as music supervisor on some of them), to touring round most of Europe and the US, to chatting with Karl Hyde from Underworld in a caravan, walking around Edinburgh with Ian Rankin, to discussing the intricacies of Celtic’s Champions League chances with 3/5ths of Mogwai, chances are if you can think of a situation, Miller’s probably been there or somewhere close.

Throughout its history, the band has been a way of communicating Miller’s disparate tastes and ideas. A prolific releaser of records, the albums, EPs and singles that have slowly but surely emanated from his home studio in Saltaire, Yorkshire, have taken in everything from motorik kosmische, to slow motion techno, to glistening ambient soundscapes, with a particular melancholy being the only thing threading them all together. Pitchfork once called it “Burial for English lit majors”, although a plethora of other outlets have enthused about it over the years too – everyone from Resident Advisor to Prog Magazine, The Wire, The Quietus, Mojo, Electronic Sound, and too many to list here without your eyes glazing over. The Guardian even let him do a mix once.

Live the band unfurls into a two piece, as Miller’s partner Sophie Green adds spellbinding violin and vocals, as the pair construct semi-improvised modular synth and post-rock guitar atmospheres, and let them drift of their own accord.

Featured Artist: Carl Gari

Carl Gari is an interconnected assembly of machines, humans and musical instruments that aims to subvert reality through sound. Founded in 2013, the project comprises the German trio Jonas Yamer, Till Funke and Jonas Friedlich.

In the seclusion of a house in the Bavarian Forest, something unfolded that felt less like a conventional album production and more like an internal process of condensation. This house wasn’t a studio – it was a retreat. Its 1960s-inspired interiors, creaking wooden stairs, and crackling fireplace shaped the sound of Carl Gari as much as the instruments themselves. Though the house no longer exists, its atmosphere remains present in the recordings.

The music of Carl Gari – Jonas Yamer, Till Funke, and Jonas Friedlich – resists easy categorization, a trait that continues on this monumental new album. From the friction between electronic music and guitar textures, the trio forges a distinctive, idiosyncratic sound. Distorted electric guitars and pulsating basslines intertwine with analog drum machines, tape delays, and intricate effect chains, creating music that is raw, organic, and psychedelic. A new element on the album is the trio’s first use of vocals: Jonas Yamer, usually on bass, raises his voice in a punk-tinged, invented language that hints rather than narrates, unsettling more than it explains.

The guest artists do not merely decorate the sound – they alter its very structure at critical points. Polygonia contributes layered vocals that mesh seamlessly with the album’s technoid architecture. Will Brooks of Dälek delivers a dark rap feature on ‘Poison Shyness (Anti-Social)’, his words carving the sonic space with precision. Coby Sey adds introspective vocals that hover between experimentation and restraint on ‘Inner Link’. New York rap pioneer Sensational introduces a deliberately rough, individual counterpoint on ‘Disco Lights’, while the German percussionist Simon Popp drives the album forward with an uncompromising drum performance that insists rather than accompanies on ‘Zeitesser’.

Featured Artist: Speedy J

Contemplating the role of the album format in an attention-deficient society, Speedy J presents Walkman — a constantly shifting, 90-minute soundtrack to a journey of your choice. Jochem Paap’s first solo album in over 20 years is a freewheeling, 20-track testament to his decades-deep studio skill and sonic versatility, running from skewed rhythmic rabbit holes to exploratory tonal abandon.

For Paap, the traditional idea of the album had become obscured by listening habits and the non-stop information barrage of our digital lives. Having moved on from his breakthrough years releasing LPs and touring off the back of them, he was more inspired to develop his many-sided STOOR project and feed into a bigger artistic body of work than the temporary shelf-life of a single release. As is natural for any artist, his perspective shifted over time and he found himself drawn back to the idea of an album, realising he connected best with longer releases while he was on a walk, out for a run or generally in transit one way or another.

With an endearing call back to the humble Walkman, he selected an hour and a half of material created during studio sessions at the beginning of 2025, perfectly sized to fit on two 45-minute sides of a cassette tape. As has long been the case for his studio practice, there were no fixed intentions when sitting down in the STOOR lab to start making noise — just a wealth of experience and an expansive set of tools to start exploring with. From hours of jams Paap pulled together standout moments and moulded them into a mixtape-like narrative ranging from two-minute beat nuggets to full-tilt techno workouts and immersive ambient drops. Every sound is intentional, but the overall delivery is instinctive and curious, showing multiple new dimensions to Paap’s sound and offering unpredictability at every turn.
