Searching for a band name, he eventually decided on the username he had on an internet forum for Belgian art-rock band dEUS, itself named after one of their more obscure songs.Two decades on, and worriedaboutsatan is still here, still putting finishing touches to songs in bedrooms, still a firm believer in doing things yourself.From humble beginnings, the band is now firmly entrenched in the DIY electronic underground. After 20 years of touring and releasing, it would be an understatement to say the band has done a lot in that time. From regularly featuring in Adam Curtis BBC documentaries (not to mention working as music supervisor on some of them), to touring round most of Europe and the US, to chatting with Karl Hyde from Underworld in a caravan, walking around Edinburgh with Ian Rankin, to discussing the intricacies of Celtic’s Champions League chances with 3/5ths of Mogwai, chances are if you can think of a situation, Miller’s probably been there or somewhere close.Throughout its history, the band has been a way of communicating Miller’s disparate tastes and ideas. A prolific releaser of records, the albums, EPs and singles that have slowly but surely emanated from his home studio in Saltaire, Yorkshire, have taken in everything from motorik kosmische, to slow motion techno, to glistening ambient soundscapes, with a particular melancholy being the only thing threading them all together. Pitchfork once called it “Burial for English lit majors”, although a plethora of other outlets have enthused about it over the years too – everyone from Resident Advisor to Prog Magazine, The Wire, The Quietus, Mojo, Electronic Sound, and too many to list here without your eyes glazing over. The Guardian even let him do a mix once.Live the band unfurls into a two piece, as Miller’s partner Sophie Green adds spellbinding violin and vocals, as the pair construct semi-improvised modular synth and post-rock guitar atmospheres, and let them drift of their own accord.Courtesy: Oliver Cole of 9PRThank you to all my listeners locally, from across Canada and around the world: Albania, Algeria, Angola, Australia, Austria, Bangladesh, Belarus, Belgium, Bulgaria, Brazil, Chile, China, Croatia, Czechia, Ecuador, Finland, France, Gabon, Germany, Ghana, Greece, Hong Kong, India,  Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Lithuania, Malaysia, Malta, Mexico, Moldova, Morocco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain,  Sweden,  Switzerland, Tanzania, Thailand, Turkiye, Uganda, United Kingdom, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, Venezuela and Vietnam.
