Lukas Wigflex slows it down a notch for Off-Kilter 003 - 100bpm is the new 140.

The head honcho behind Nottingham’s Wigflex parties which have been running for almost 16 years, Lukas has been built a solid reputation as one of the cites finest selectors. From off-grid private parties to the multi-venue Wigflex City Festival, his force is vibrant and unstoppable.

As a DJ, Lukas spans across genres with raucous energy, channelling mind-bending wonky techno with a distinct UK feel. His productions meander tripped out vocals, analog phasing techno and heady basslines, as heard on Me & Meds, his debut collaborative EP with Son of Philip came out on Trouble  Maker last year.

Lukas Wigflex with Ido Plumes - 28 October 2024

Ring in 2025 with a three-hour flex from a hero of UK club culture.

They don't make DJs like Lukas Wigflex anymore. The Nottingham DJ and promoter has a love for UK club culture that borders on the unfathomable—and he does it all with a gusto that is unmistakably, one hundred percent pure Lukas. 

Wigflex started out as a "Wigflex Wednesdays," a free bar night in Nottingham with two-for-one pizzas to hook punters in. In the 19 years since, it has grown into one of the UK's most established party series, welcoming dance music giants while still championing homegrown talent. Recalling its journey from a modest bar night to powerhouse party, he told Stamp The Wax: "I created a mixtape and called it Wigflex 2000. It all just evolved naturally from that." 

"Evolved naturally" is, perhaps, too modest. In an increasingly hostile operating environment, it's hard to overstate the achievement of Wigflex's longevity, a testament to his tenacity and distinctive spirit. Who else, let's be honest, could get away with taglining their event, "Survival of the Wrongest." But don't let the tongue-and-cheek persona fool you, mind—he's deadly serious about tunes. 

His RA Podcast is a window into what Wigflex is all about: electro in all its shades, from the Hauffian to the Drexciyan, alongside wigged-out EBM and a healthy amount of Wigflex classics.

Even if you didn't know it was coming from him, you would certainly get the impression it sounds a lot like somebody who adores dance music. What better way to ring in the New Year?

Sunday Mix: Lukas Wigflex

I’ve told this story before but this time I have a mix to go with it so I’ll tell it again…Twenty years ago, during the early noughties when garage was mutating into grime I DJ’d in a crew with a load of mc’s called Riot Squad. We thought we were Nottingham's version of the Pay As U Go Cartel.

UK music was super fertile around those years and this was the first little pocket of my record buying “career” I found myself truly obsessed with. Parties, tape packs and radio was starting to get muckier with the focus shifting to MC’s. You could smell the influence that infamous little club up the road in Sheffield had on me a mile off and while the roots were starting to poke through, dubstep was still a few years away.. 

Decided to record a mix of the records I was playing up here during those times. Some of them are well known, some of them I don’t even know what the fuck they are. All bangers though and all have been getting played for nearly 20 years so excuse the noise, crackles and pops. x

Lukas Wigflex - The Land Before Grime.

Back in April I was asked to record a mix for an online music platform that I was really excited about.. but after a turbulent year full of endless twists and turns it unfortunately never ended up being shared.

It’s been sitting on me hard drive ever since but it features an Al Green & Beatrice Dillon blend and if there’s one good thing to have come out of 2020 its that Beatrice Dillon album.

I recorded this around the same time as my Crack Sunday mix came out and wanted the two to go in polar opposite directions of one another. As that one was semi ambient and slow, this one is full throttle, balls to the wall and full of end of the world steppers. 

Might not be the one for your NYE countdown, but if you’re looking for something a bit more crunchy for that kitchen crack on slap it on. x
