Irrepressible Dutchman Legowelt is to release a new album in the coming months. Entitled ‘Crystal Code 2080’, it will come on Crème Organization and has been preceded by a sampler EP that featured one track from it.
The ‘2080’ part of the album title is taken from the Roland JV2080, a legendary digital synthesizer from the nineties that was used a lot in the making of the album. Bought second-hand in Tokyo for a couple of hundred dollars, it lends the record a very dewy eyed soul, whilst the ‘Crystal’ part of the title stands for the self-made ‘DIY germanium crystal compressor’ Legowelt used throughout the writing process.
The album itself features ten new tracks of pure Legowelt music mainly recorded in The Hague in the past year, but also on the road during tours of LA, the Californian desert, Tokyo (which spawned ‘Crystal Cult 2080’) and Tejada Gran Canaria (where ‘The Future of Myself’ was written.) Where his last album The Paranormal Soul was an organic trip into misty forests, this one seems more concerned with medieval spirits; it’s deeper, darker and the whole thing is tied together by a more coherent sense of ancient alchemy.
Given the use of a DIY germanium crystal compressor during production, it’s no wonder everything feels warm, fuzzy and mystic in a way that draws your attention in like that fabled philosopher’s stone... glare too long and you might just turn to stone. Right from the opening track the mood is so encapsulating you are drawn right into Danny Wolfers’ mysterious electronic world. From there various different tempos are explored and plenty of famed synthesiser work comes to the fore, wrapping grooves in trippy themes, impish spirits and plenty of organic lushness.
Crystal Cult 2080 is sure to prove another lucid and distinctive chapter in the ever-captivating story that is the musical career of Legowelt.

Harold Boué, also known as Abstraxion and Lion's Drums, is a French producer and musician based in Marseille and Stockholm. His music transcends boundaries, drawing from a range of genres and influences including Italo disco, EBM, early trance, techno rave, and synth wave, resulting in a captivating and unique musical experience. Abstraxion's sets are unpredictable, and he has a talent for surprising his audience with unexpected musical directions.
Harold's live performances are a seamless blend of flesh and machine, with his modular GRP A4 allowing him to give a modern interpretation to the euphoric sounds of the '80s and '90s while maintaining a warm and dance floor-focused approach.
In addition to his music, Harold is also founder of Biologic Records. He is a prominent figure in the Marseille underground scene, having been involved in projects such as the Mouillette queer parties and the Encore Encore festival. Harold's upcoming album, set to be released in June 2023 on Dischi Autunno.
