I had been watching some obscure movies from the 80s and 90s and I often thought that even the cheesiest of scenes would have a very different impression if you just changed the soundtrack underneath. I tried to lay down the main parts as quickly as possible otherwise that ‘moment’ was gone by the next day. My aim was to capture the feeling that I had at that particular time. Most of the tracks were finished quite quickly.
What kind of record were you trying to make, and what was inspiring you at the time?
Most of the synth parts were recorded live to tape and edited later in Ableton. My first synth was a Roland SH-101 and I later I bought a Korg EX-800, a Yamaha CS-01 and a few others.

I was making music before with software but, without sounding too cliché, I really fell for the warm sound of old analog synths. It was back in 2012 when I bought my first gear. The view from my window was quite grim but it also reminded me home as I grew up in a tower block in Slovakia.
I was living in an East London council estate at the time. Midnight Wave was made when you were living in the UK. Stream the album’s opening track ‘Gray’s Legend’ below and find out more about this most unusual record in our Q&A. After tracking down Kiss, who had by then moved back to Slovakia, the label offered to master it and give it a proper release.įACT quizzed the low-profile producer on the making of Midnight Wave and his next move. Influenced by ambient classics, British industrial music, Brian Eno and the ever-present shadow of Kraftwerk, the album was originally released in 2013 as a limited cassette on Hungarian label Farbwechsel, and would have remained an obscurity had Lobster Theremin’s Jimmy Asquith not stumbled across it and acknowledged its magic. Midnight Wave, an album of hazy, tape-crunched club tracks and delicate Aphexian ambient numbers, was recorded straight to tape in Kiss’s box room in Bethnal Green back in 2012 near the end of a four-year stint in London. The London-based, outward-looking label’s first album release comes from the spectacularly named Imre Kiss, a Slovakian-born Hungarian artist whose appearance on Lobster Theremin is something of a happy accident. Since launching in 2013, Lobster Theremin has made a name for itself as one of the most reliable underground dance labels around, releasing a steady stream of must-hear releases from the likes of Palms Trax, Snow Bone and Panthera Krause. They will all take the audience on a 24-hour journey from soulful house and stripped-down breaks to atmospheric and electric techno.Stream the album’s gloriously crunchy opener ‘Gray’s Legend’.
