Releases by hyperterminal

Hyperterminal (John Dalling) produced his first pure trance track in early 1999, called "Thirty One". The trademark Hyperterminal sound took shape later in the year when John acquired a Roland JX-305 synth. Using it's warm, fat synth sounds, John resurrected the Hyperterminal name in summer 1999 with "Angel Song", and "Seeking You" was produced a couple of months later. By December 1999, "Seeking You" was proving a popular track in John's DJ sets, and by summer 2000, "Seeking You" had featured in MP3.com's and Vitaminic's download charts. In early 2000, John also produced two new Hyperterminal tracks, "Stranger In Paradise" and "The Dream", which also proved popular online. "Seeking You" was eventually pressed as a white label in the USA. The white label promos of the Hyperterminal E.P. went out in early 2001, and the vinyl release came in the autumn, with "Hemisphere" going to number 3 the Daily Star's Essential Clubbing chart in November 2001. The remix of "Thirty One", which featured on the white label promos, was replaced by "Hemisphere" for the final release as "Thirty One" skipped badly due to faulty mastering. Incidentally, the version of "Distressed Rhombus" is also different on the promos to the final release - the original 2000 mix features on the promo and a remastered, longer version from 2001 features on the release. "Seeking You" topped the Vitaminic trance and dance/electronica charts several times between 2000 and 2002, and even once became the most downloaded track on the whole Vitaminic site, on 28th October 2001. While all this was happening, John was working on the follow up to the Hyperterminal E.P., and "'Stay With Me"' and "Voyager"' (2001) featured on the second Hyperterminal release. The third release was more successful, with "'Ascension" and "The Transformation" (produced in December 2001) coming out on white label in 2002 and going on to full release. "Ascension" was played three weeks in succession by Dave Pearce on Radio One in Autumn 2002. Although a few more tracks were produced, the temporary decline in popularity of UK melodic trance music in 2003/04 proved the nail in the coffin for Hyperterminal, with John going on to pursue other musical projects. John last produced as Hyperterminal in Spring 2003. In Autumn 2003, John wrote his first JMD track, in a similar trance style but with a harder edge. In 2006, the Hyperterminal name returned to the spotlight in a different genre, when freeform producer Lost Soul remixed the 2000 track "Stranger In Paradise". Read more on Last.fm.
