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.).

TL Premiere #555 (2021.03.26) : Flyora - First Encounter [Specimen Records]

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

For this 107th Premiere of 2021, we have a track by the Belfast-based DJ/Producer Flyora titled ‘First Encounter’ from his forthcoming EP "Immrama" on the London label : Specimen Records.

"Flyora - Immrama" will be available from May 4, 2021 on digital only through all major digital music stores and streaming platforms.

▶︎ Pre-order : https://flyoraspec.bandcamp.com/releases

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Release Info :

Flyora - Immrama [Specimen Records - SPECTRO-025d]

“Immrama'' is an exploration of unfamiliarity inspired by Flyora’s past. As it is his debut he establishes his broken-down sound and style which emerged from his varied lifelong influences.

“First Encounter” goes right in with its massive bass and conversation-like squelchy elements, setting a strong electro starting point for the project to evolve from.

“Nebulous” pushes the sound to a more moody place thanks to its broken pads and leads, yet it keeps up its driving energy throughout.

“Defunct” opens up with a massive build-up into another unforgiving and breakneck beat pushed by the warped percussive parts and synths.

“Malfunction” marks a tonal shift in the project while keeping the signature tortured synths and samples. The atmosphere gets thicker and the bass gets deeper as we transition into the second half of the project.

“Earth Paradise Club” overloads the listener with its nostalgic pads and one-shots while exploring familiarity and longing for things to go back to normal.

“Crash Landing” was accurately described by a close friend as “feeling like dumping my face in a bucket of gravel”. Unregular drums, haunting bells, and disturbing noises make the track ooze unfamiliarity.

Tracklist :
1. First Encounter
2. Nebulous
3. Defunct
4. Malfunction
5. Earth Paradise Club
6. Crash Landing

Szymon Jurak (Flyora), is a Polish dj and producer based in Belfast, Northern Ireland. I have been producing for about two and a half years now, and I finally reached the confidence to try and put out a track or two. I have been making electro and electro influenced tracks, tending to keep things distorted and in your face - similarly to Serge Geyzel who I discovered through Specimen Similarly I have been really into the Eastern European side of electro - specifically AnyAct, Get Mioud and Re:Drum. I try to bring some of that EBM-ish edge to some of my productions in the playlist below. Other than that I love any type of heavy, distorted and broken sounding music - artists like Pilo, Baseck, Nikki Nair or Michael Foreshaw - all of which had an effect on the way I produce. I had a track released earlier last year on Fly By Night Recordings "Locked Up" VA - which got support from False Persona and Dave Clarke, two amazing personalities which I did not expect to find my music at all.

PREMIERE: S Olbricht - Sh Maneuver (Free Sequence)

Antonello Teora is a versatile, always-surprising DJ and producer from Italy, with his own variegated, wavy and bass oriented style forces to put the attention on the sonic landscape he carries on while making music. 

“In Ethereal State” is the album's 2nd track and is highly representative of the mood of the whole release “The Way of Union and Being”. This 9-track journey finds its roots deliberately between “Gloria Anzaldùa's” idea of repetitious act and the philosophical scriptures of “Musashi Myamoto”. His idea about the open-minded vision and the centrality of the mind built the concept of the LP. Every human being has to keep firmly in order to have an always clear and objective perception of life.

TL Premiere #502 (2021.03.04) : Bass Junkie - Sub Sonic Survivor [Bass Agenda Recordings]

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

For this 54th Premiere of 2021, we have a track by the veteran producer based in UK and devoted to Electro "Bass Junkie" (aka Phil Klein) entitled ‘Sub Sonic Survivor’ from his upcoming LP "Sub Sonic Survivor" [BA109] courtesy of Andy Barton's Label Bass Agenda Recordings.

"Bass Junkie - Sub Sonic Survivor" LP will be available in Double Vinyl & Digital from March 26, 2021 here : https://bassagendarecordings.bandcamp.com/album/sub-sonic-survivor

Release Info :

Bass Junkie - Sub Sonic Survivor LP [Bass Agenda Recordings - BA109]

British Electro veteran Bass Junkie returns for his second vinyl outing on Bass Agenda Recordings, this time with a full-length album.

As his last release, ‘Low Frequency Fugitive’ indicated, he has been working hard on developing his trademark sound and taking things forward; no mean feat for someone who has been ahead of his time since he began releasing Electro in the mid-nineties. He has succeeded though and everything he is loved and respected for is here, plus some advanced structures and elements – Bass Junkie evolved – a true Sub Sonic Survivor.

The harder edge is here in tracks such as ‘Blast Them to Infinity!’ and the insanely hard kick of ‘Star Destroyer’. His funkier side shines through too, in tracks like the shimmering space funk of ‘Rum and Raspberries’. For fans of his exceptional vocal work there are treats in store too, particularly in the aggressive attack on the modern state of things that is ‘Reset’.
