Since the early 1970s, when he began to make music with his childhood friend and Cabaret Voltaire partner Richard H Kirk, Stephen Mallinder has followed a uniquely crooked path. This route has taken him from tape loops and smashing up pianos to working with New York club luminaries and Chicago house pioneers such as Arthur Baker and Marshall Jefferson in the 1980s - and even gaining a PhD while living in Perth, Western Australia.
Stephen Mallinder, one half of pioneering group Cabaret Voltaire, explained how he went from Sheffield post-punk to cruising around Chicago in a stretch limo, all the while producing some of the most uncompromising art dance music the world has ever heard in his lecture at RBMA Melbourne 2006.

To me, hell always be "mally mally mally", one of the nicest most intelligent blokes i got to know (very well) in all my time involved in the 70's-80's music scene (sleazy n geoff aka coil are the only ones i love n admire more). I first encountered cabs when they supported throbbing gristle at a church crypt in paddington, before nag nag nag came out, they were frighteningly chaotic, but with richard kirk's jagged guitar, chris watson's tape manipulations, mal's funky minimal bass and the extraordinary effects they fed everything through, they were very different to throbbing gristle (for a start, they played "tunes" and did a version of the velvet's "here she comes now, but i could also hear the funk, dub and disco influences they never lost. They eventually signed a deal with virgin records ("crackdown" is my fave cab's album) through stevo's some bizzare management, and i got a job there managing the k422 label. I used to travel up and down the country (and eventually to europe) to see them, usually turning up unannounced at their soundcheck with weed speed n booze. Ive still got quite a few casettes from those mid-80's shows, they are mostly one offs and will stay that way. So sorry to hear of richard's passing, mal, i love ya !

I have all of these guys vinyl. Even the VHS tapes. Big part of my 80s. Didn't get on with Code. But that's what tape loops lose over samples. Thank you for this honest interview. I just hope kids these days hear this and take the punk aspect and make their own way. I'll buy it.

As concerns the question at the end about heavier US music, an important shared concern w/ CV in the first half of the 1980s seemed to be directing musical energy against TV evangelism. Obviously the DKs are the best known example, and in terms of CV you had tracks like slugging for Jesus prts 1-3. Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale" was a literary fellow traveler. Hopefully there are still people out there doing it!

Nice carpets. With Cabaret Voltaire there was not much exposure, for my journey anyway. The advantage of the freedom on record shops and judging the cover and design with info, so i did not discover Cabaret Voltaire until the 90s, then backtracked. The Plasticity album from Hmv. Front Line Assembly released Plasticity as cd single.

a-round 59:03 he is inserting a cd, just before mentions why bother selling music on cd with so much alternative modern media, ref: Global Entity post on Front 242 No Shuffle release and the implications of AI and Quantum path entanglement, who is the master controller when you are online ? And so formats tapes, vinyl's, cd give the protection where the user is the master controller. The human neural network AI and generative AI are connected, many will say why live in a paranoid phobic society with endless security, hence trust in yourself. Upload your own collection databases .Many humans think they are psychic by downloading everything out there on random play. KJ Education or no education will you reach enlightenment from the Quantum history.
