Second U-TRAX compilation unveils its hidden ties with Legowelt!
Hot on the heels of R U There Yet? U-TRAX 20/20 Vision mixtape vol. 1, compiled by Qmoog, electronic music label U-TRAX invited popular Dutch producer Legowelt, aka Danny Wolfers, to curate a second compilation album.

Wolfers and U-TRAX label boss DJ White Delight met each other for the first time by chance at the doorsteps of record store Rush Hour during ADE 2018. Being a big fan of epic Legowelt tracks like Flight of the Jupiter, White Delight spoke to Wolfers for over one hour before discovering he was the producer Legowelt. During that hour, Wolfers had already testified of his special ties with U-TRAX.  
As a highschool kid, some of the first records Wolfers ever bought (at I.F.’s legendary The Hague Hotmix recordstore) somewhere in the mid 90s, were U-TRAX releases. He was very inspired by releases of The Connection Machine and P.A. Presents and when he started to make his own music, the first Legowelt demo he ever sent out was addressed to U-TRAX. Due to a twist of fate, that tape ended up at someone else’s mailbox and U-TRAX never got to learn about the genius of Wolfers 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 favorites from the U-TRAX and (U-TRAX sordid and rash sublabel) Phoq U Phonogrammen archives, as well as taking a peek at future U-TRAX releases. He not only selected the 14 tracks, but also wrote very personal notes for each track 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 favorites like The Connection Machine, Tick Trax, P.A. Presents and 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 (NYC), old school electro producer Nuklear Prophet (LA) and new school electro producer w1b0 (NL). 

All tracks received a fresh new mastering treatment by Thee J Johanz of Bally Hoo Studios for this release.

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.

Premiere : Octave & Dsoarak- O Placere [ Concept ]

A game of cat and mouse had unfolded in the neighbourhood, the illusive character seemed to be everywhere but nowhere at all. They'd left their mark on many households, on shops and on street corners, but whether these were well-meaning or a sign of impending danger, nobody knew. Whether the mystery would reveal itself, they'd have to wait and see.

South London-based label and party PROGRAMM have been busy cooking up lots of exciting things for the year ahead, starting with a new white label series, 'Untitled Series'. Their second label outing following last year's inaugural VA - premiered here - the first 'Untitled' release comes as a VERY limited run of 10 copies on 10" lathe cut plates, with hand etched artwork on the reverse. Don't sleep, these will be gone before you know it. And, if you aren't lucky enough to nab one, keep your eyes peeled for round two...

PREMIERE: Untitled Series - 001 (PROGRAMM)

The thin winding streets were adorned with all manner of trinkets, gadgets and souvenirs; you could get everything you needed from these stalls, if you were willing to look hard enough. Without a plan of action, you're guaranteed to get lost, to come away with things you never needed, to spend money you didn't intend to. Haggling was the name of the game, and once mastered, this place could become your oyster.

After the success of their inaugural release from Breaka, Manchester-based platform Off Beat follow up with their sophomore release from one third of the brains behind the label, Rhyval. With nods to early Hessle Audio and Swap 81-backed Ramadanman records, percussion and bass play a central role across the three tracks, which is translated through warped subs, crisp snares and rumbling bass.

система | system is proud to present a compilation of various Ukrainian artists and performers "SESTRO".

"SESTRO" is a compilation of electronic music from the Odesa-based label система | system, designed to bring together musicians from Ukraine who have been released on our label and performed at events we have organized. For many years we strive to cover a wide, diverse, and adventurous spectrum of Ukrainian music. The goal of the compilation is to directly financially support (ГО Сфера) Sphere (@womenspheresolidarity) which is a Kharkiv-based organization that actively helps women and LGBT+ people from eastern Ukraine in territories that are heavily affected by war. NGO Sphere (ГО Сфера) supplies crisis kits for women in frontline areas and also provides financial assistance to vulnerable groups of women, organizes legal and medical consultations, provides psychological assistance, informational campaigns, and activist events.

"We have never had an experience of working with women in conditions of stress, shock, and grief like today. Now we are trying to gather our experience and the experience of our colleagues from other countries to help deal with the terrible consequences of the survivors" - Anna Sharygina, a representative of NGO Sphere (ГО Сфера).

We believe that giving visibility to Ukrainian culture is an important part of our struggle, because Russia's war against Ukraine is imperialistic in nature, and for three centuries the works of Ukrainian authors have been denied and destroyed.
We will never agree to be dominated. We want, as artists, to give all possible support through our work to the brave volunteers now active in Ukraine, who are heroically fighting to save the most vulnerable.

система | system з гордістю презентує компіляцію різних українських артисток та артистів "SESTRO"

"SESTRO" - це компіляція електронної музики від одеського лейблу система | system, яка покликана об'єднати музикантів_ок з України, що випускалися на нашому лейблі та виступали на організованих нами заходах. Протягом багатьох років ми прагнемо висвітлювати широкий та різноманітний спектр української музики. Мета компіляції — надати пряму матеріальну підтримку організації Сфера (@womenspheresolidarity) з Харкова, що наразі активно допомагає жінкам та ЛГБТ+ людям зі Сходу України на територіях, які сильно страждають від війни. ГО Сфера постачає кризові комплекти для жінок у прифронтових районах, а також надає фінансову допомогу вразливим групам жінок, організовує юридичні та медичні консультацій, надає психологічну допомогу, проводить інформаційні кампанії, активістські заходи.

“В нас ніколи не було досвіду роботи із жінками в умовах такого стресу, шоку і горя. Наразі ми намагаємося зібрати свій досвід і досвід наших подруг з інших країн, щоб допомогти впоратися з жахливими наслідками пережитих подій тим, хто вижив” - Анна Шаригіна, представниця ГО Сфера.

Ми вважаємо, що надання видимості українській культури є важливою частиною нашої боротьби, адже війна Росії проти України, має імперіалістичний характер і протягом трьох століть твори українських авторів_ок піддавали цензурі та знищували. Ми боремося проти Росії, що прагне нас колонізувати, ми боремося за нашу свободу, ми ніколи не погодимося, щоб над нами панували. Ми хочемо, як художниці_ки, своєю роботою надати всю можливу підтримку хоробрим волонтеркам, які діють зараз в Україні та відважно боряться за порятунок найуразливіших груп населення.

Back with their ninth release in the last twelve months and ahead of a tenth in time for Xmas, it’s fair to say 2016 has been a well hectic year of transition for Bristol’s banana-slice traders @banoffee-pies. After spending the couple first years in the shoes of the exciting new prospect, the label has now quietly settled down as a key element of the seaside city’s lively nightlife.

Unknown Artist - Voodoo Way (Edit) [Banoffee Pies]

For the past several years Ravitz has been keeping up his production of house and techno music via different outfits like Inhalants, Masks, or Pulpo and most notably Patricia with his last year’s release – an epic 3LP record – ‘Several Shades of the Same Color’. His recent effort called ‘Free Lunch’ explores one of the directions presented on the album, however this time adding more color in the palette. 

Continuing to tool and retool his modular synth rack, on ‘Free Lunch’ Ravitz produces energetic electro tracks that show a shift from the familiar hazy murkiness to a fairly present sound and almost song-like writing that introduces layered melodies, acid grooves and luscious pointillism. ‘Your Battery Is Leaking’ is a groovy electro track with sizzling hi-hats, grimy bass tune and a lot of acid, while ‘Consumer Recreation Services’ is a heady trip of restless arpeggios and melting synths. ‘Placeholder’ combines the ingredients of the first two tracks and ‘Early Stages of Something’ brings back the grimy bass and lively groove. Finally ‘Winnipeg’ is the perfect closer returning to layered synth melodies and syncopated bass that brings back the feel of ‘I Know The Face, But Not The Name’ from his last album.

Taken from the forthcoming EP "Juno Way" - out 13th November.

Following the release of his excellent debut on Barcelona’s Lapsus Records, Wordcolour lands on Houndstooth with an astounding EP of next generation club music. The London-based producer invites us into his musical world as we journey through three highly detailed soundscapes, both emotionally resonant and functional for the floor.

With a background in jazz, pop and contemporary classical, Wordcolour has also previously produced music for TV and theatre. On his sophomore solo release, he demonstrates his diverse musical knowledge with dynamic and engaging compositions that indicate many years of music making. While making nods to the best of contemporary UK experimentation, these cinematic tracks deftly switch between tempos all the while retaining Wordcolour’s own aesthetic signature.
