Fairlight Children
“808Bit”
PICLP with OBI
An Apoptygma Berzerk side project.
In support of 2002's hugely successful “Harmonizer” album, Apoptygma Berzerk toured extensively for two years across Europe and the USA.
Following this, Stephan Groth took a break from intensive live work to recharge and figure out Apoptygma's next move. During this period, together with Marianne B. and Tiff, Stephan created Fairlight Children and they recorded the songs for what would become “808bit". As a child of the 80s he wanted to make an album that was 100% electronic, inspired by the electro and synthpop music he grew up with. He already knew that Apoptygma's next album “You And Me Against The World” would have a more guitar-driven rock essence, mirroring the band's live sound, so the Fairlight Children project was the perfect way to retain a pure electronic edge and revisit his roots.
More recently, Stephan has returned to an 80s-inspired electronic sound for APOP, as evidenced on the 2020 “Nein Danke!” EP.
