Greh goes into detail about the synths, gear, and recording techniques he uses HIVE MIND and BLACK SAND DESERT.

Greh Holger has been a pillar of international noise since the early 2000s, running the prolific label Chondritic Sound, recording and performing heavy synth-based noise as HIVE MIND, and being an admin of the iheartnoise message board, a community space that was essential to the noise scene at that time. Since then, he has stayed active with his label, numerous recording projects, and formed Noisextra Podcast, a show that is a staple of contemporary noise media. It was great to be able to put Greh on the other end of the interview process and pick his brain about his history and activities.

In the Patreon exclusive EXT. to this interview, Greh goes into detail about the synths, gear, and recording techniques he uses HIVE MIND and BLACK SAND DESERT. Greh also shared download codes for his most recent HIVE MIND album Elysian Alarms with the Maniac's Circle, as well as an exclusive live recording of BLACK SAND DESERT, from August 19, 2023 at Coaxial in Los Angeles.

Active since the late 90s, he has worked closely with labels such as Hospital Productions, Pitch Phase, and Dada Drumming, the latter of which has released his most recent masterful albums Framework and Wrought.

Known simultaneously for the acerbic antics of his teenage years, the supportive dedication to organizing live events, and his refined skills for crushing harsh noise, Johnathan Cash a.k.a. Hollywood Johnny has been a divisive but respected fixture in contemporary American noise since the mid 2000s. In recent years, his absurdist performance oriented mainstay project BREAKDANCING RONALD REAGAN has been complimented by SUNK COST, a more studied masterclass in razor-sharp Japanese influenced harsh noise. Here, Johnny tells his story starting from the early days up until now, illustrating the complex and perhaps misunderstood nature of the man himself. In the Patreon exclusive EXT. segment, Johnny spills some Hollywood gossip on some of the biggest noise stars of the day, tells us his favorite budget pedals, and tells us what the deal with Sonic is... He also lists his top 5 noise releases of all time, and 5 currently active artists in the LA scene worth paying attention to.

Ilkka Vekka of the psychedelic noise entity HAARE and harsh noise duo SAVAGE GOSPEL was my first ever guest on the podcast, so it was a great joy to follow up with him nearly 2 years later. We start by talking about what he's been up to lately musically (which is lots!), which leads us into a variety of topics such as genre perception, modern music, scene politics, and fatherhood.

Jackson Abdul-Salaam makes noise and industrial music that is concept heavy and sourced directly from his personal life. Whether it be his conversion to Islam through the project HERUKRAT, or the public health crisis and urban decay he encounters on his daily commute through his project COMMUTER, a deep dedication to both craft and content is present in all that he does. Jackson elaborates on it all, including his new COMMUTER album "No Longer Pentinent" on this episode of WCN Podcast. In the Patreon exclusive EXT. segment, Jackson goes in depth about working with his closest collaborators, shouts out his favorite recent releases and artists, and tells me his top 5 noise releases of all time.

Henry Mallard and his harsh noise project MALLARD THEORY are ubiquitous in today's noise landscape, particularly in the flourishing Pittsburgh, PA scene, where he plays a big role organizing shows. However, Henry's dedication to noise dates back to when he was around 12 years old and caught the attention of Ron Lessard of RRRecords, who then released an EMIL BEAULIEAU tape on Henry's label, Palemoon Productions. Henry tells it all, from his childhood discovery of noise, to his current activities, and lots in between.

See the full content of this interview in the EXT. segment on Patreon. Henry elaborates on the concepts of authenticity and respect, goes deeper into his passion for ducks, and lists about 10 newer noise releases he’s really excited about.
