Hot on the heels of 'Vision Mixtape' Vol. 1, electronic music label U-TRAX invite Dutch producer Legowelt, aka Danny Wolfers, to curate a second compilation album.
 
Danny Wolfers is a truly prolific producer and performer who effortlessly spans various electronic music styles. Most frequently producing as Legowelt, his unique style comes from an unfaltering devotion to hardware, be it old, new or completely worn out. Wolfers spends his days jamming on music-making toys with his output veering from dense techno to whizzing electro, deeper electronic and everything in between. Clone, L.I.E.S., Bunker, you name it, they have all come calling for the man's music. Quite simply, Legowelt is a musical force with boundless artistry.
 
Wolfers and U-TRAX label boss DJ White Delight first met each other at the doorsteps of record store Rush Hour during A.D.E. 2018. Being a fan of Legowelt, White Delight spoke to Wolfers for over an hour before discovering he was the producer Legowelt. As a high school kid in the mid-90s, U-TRAX were a vital label for Wolfers, and some of the first records he ever bought (at I.F.'s legendary The Hague Hotmix Record Store) were U-TRAX releases. Legowelt decided to post his first demo tape to U-TRAX, taking huge inspiration from early releases on the label. Due to a twist of fate, that tape ended up at someone else's mailbox, and U-TRAX never got to learn about Wolfers' genius before going into a 21-year hibernation in 1997.
 
Fast forward to 2021 and Legowelt and U-TRAX finally join forces, with Wolfers picking some of his all-time favourites from the U-TRAX back catalogue and Phoq U Phonogrammen archives, in addition to taking a peek at future U-TRAX releases. He selected the 14 tracks, wrote very personal notes for each one and created artwork in his characteristic style. His drawing depicts some Utrecht landmarks, like the Dom Tower (as featured in the U-TRAX logo) and the city's unique canals.

The compilation brings a wide range of electronic music, from smooth ambient techno to hard electro, and spicing things up further with acid, techno and hip hop flavours. It features nine tracks from the 90s archives of U-TRAX and Phoq U Phonogrammen, by techno favourites like The Connection Machine, Tick Trax, P.A. Presents, Sonar Base and one track by Sp@sms from 2019. This selection of classics is completed by four brand new tracks from forthcoming U-TRAX albums by artists like hip-hop producer Thavius Beck (N.Y.C.), old school electro producer Nuklear Prophet (L.A.) and new school electro producer w1b0 (N.L.).

PREMIERE: Customer Service - Dance First, Think Later [Control Freak]

Premiere: 

Fr: Le talentueux producteur A-Sim (@a-sim1988) lance son label Human Disease Network (@human-disease-network), il inaugure ce nouveau label avec un E.P à lui. L'E.P est très représentatif de l'ambivalence de l'artiste, entre techno bien raw et planante et breaks tout droit venus de l'autre côté de la manche, sans oublier de l'electro comme il a pu en produire pour R&S (@r-srecords). Nous avons choisi la track Spin Adjust pour vous, une track qui nous fait trépigner d'impatience avec son intro annonciatrice du banger à suivre. Les rythmiques affluent pour nous transporter sur la planète banger. Snares violentes et vocaux qui détruisent les neurones, tout est au rendez-vous pour vous faire frissonner de plaisir de la tête aux pieds.

EN: The talented producer, A-Sim(@a-sim1988)launches his label Human Disease Network (@human-disease-network), he inaugurates this new label with an E.P of his own. The E.P is very representative of the artist's ambivalence, somewhere between raw and spacey techno, breaks coming straight from across the English Channel, without forgetting a good dose of electro that he was known for on R&S (@r-srecords). We've chosen the track Spin Adjust for you, a track that makes you burst with impatience with its intro announcing the banger to come. The rhythms fluctuate to transport us to the banger planet. Violent snares and neurones destructing vocals, everything is made to make you shiver with pleasure from head to toes.

New Wave Podcast 016: Blasfemmeous

Blasfemmeous was resurrected somewhere in the depths of underground NYC nightlife. She appeared first to the coven in her midst, and then to the world at large, traveling to perform at venues in New York City, San Francisco, Philadelphia and Spain. Her crunchy, shimmering, eclectic sound incorporates her appreciation for electronic sounds of the past, present, future, and fourth dimension from which she originates. 

From an early age she was exposed to the vast and rich music culture in New York, where she related to the funk, jazz and hip hop sounds. She frequently sang in her youth, until an injury forced to stop for a number of years but has started experimenting with using her voice in her own production. When she first began DJing, her sound was a lot less recognisable than what it has evolved into today. With little exposure to house and techno, she first started spinning hip hop and EDM, which crowds in California love. It wasn't until she moved to Spain, where she was fully introduced to the techno scene. She instantly connected with techno and the culture she wasn't accustom to, being from the States. 

After spending months in Spain, she returned to New York, and has spent the last year refining her sound, to both please the crowds and her own taste. She flirts between many genres, however the eclectic and experimental theme runs throughout. With regular sets at Jupiter Disco and other underground New York clubs, she is quickly gaining recognition, and hopes the launch of her new label Very Cherry Records will help solidify her in the scene.

We recently caught up with Blasfemmeous to discuss the US club culture vs European club culture, New York's underground scene, her label and the distinction between her production and mixes.
