About White Noise TV
White Noise TV is a Berlin-based dark pop project founded by Oliver Staats and Lars Goehring. Staats had been involved in the dark electro scene since the late 1990s, while Goehring had been making electronic music already. The two met through a construction and housing project in 2013 and decided to start making music together after attending Electro Rebel Party at Berlin’s Nuke Club at the end of 2018.
The project released the self-titled debut album “White Noise TV” on March 30, 2020. It was followed with “Every Day Lost” on January 10, 2022. That album was recorded by Oliver Staats, Bernd Abromeit and Lars Goehring, with Bernd Abromeit of Tonschleifer handling mixing and mastering.
The band also appeared on the NoCut Depeche Mode tribute “Music for Constructions”, where the project contributed “World in My Eyes”.
The band continued by releasing “New Dawn” on June 13, 2024. Mixed and engineered by Bernd Abromeit, it was mastered by Brigadier Wolff of Patenbrigade: Wolff. The project then released “Fear Can’t Kill All Future Dreams” on February 7, 2025 and “Transistor” on December 5, 2025. “Transistor” includes remixes by AD:keY, Silicon Avatar, Octobirth, Missing in Stars and Ignazious K.
White Noise TV is now continued as a solo project for Oliver Staats.
