For years now, Statiqbloom has been a veritable force in the world of dark and brooding electronic music. The brainchild of Fade Kainer, Statiqbloom crafts a harsh, modular-driven sound that fuses elements of industrial techno and dark electronics. Using a mix of hardware and software, his live sets are known for pounding industrial rhythms, evolving blackened atmospheres, and haunting, disorienting vocals.

In this video interview, we speak with Fade from Berlin about his recent transition to living in Europe, how Adam X pushed him to produce more techno focused industrial, his approach to songwriting and live performance, and some insight into the gear and techniques that define his sound.
