Beim
Electro-nix Gang Bang in der Fluc_Wanne ist mit dem niederländischen
Produzenten Danny Wolfers ein Mann der 1000 Pseudonyme zu Gast. Für
den Samstag hat er sich das Alter Ego Legowelt eingepackt, live schüttelt
der Laptop-Verweigerer deepe Chicago-Tracks, obskuren Ghetto-Technofunk,
Eurohorror-Soundtracks und den unvermeidlichen Electro aus dem strikt
analogen Equipment. Übrigens besitzt Legowelt laut Veranstalter
Marflow "einen geilen Pyjama und eine geile Tapete". Das
wäre ja schon ein Aufhänger, um den als ruhig und schüchtern
geltenden Wolfers ungeniert anzusprechen.
Legowelt = the name under which Danny Wolfers releases
most of his music. What Music you might ask??? Well a hybrid form
of slam jack The Hague electronix combined with deep chicago trax,obscure
& romantic ghetto technofunk, EuroHorror Soundtracks and lots
-a- more! You can't quite pigeonhole it but it sure as hell slams
the pit!
Already
a few years in the business Legowelt has released a dozen or so projects
on various formats, most of them on good ol' vinyl released on homebase
Bunker records, The Hague's legendary pioneering electronic music
label. Sometimes these tracks spin out of the obscurity like an asteroid
from a spacebelt and fly straight into the charts; such an event happened
with 'Disco Rout' which was voted track of the year 2002 by the acclaimed
german Groove magazine.
Legowelt began producing music when in the early 90ies the adolescent
autistic schoolboy came in sporadic contact with the sounds of Detroit's
Underground Resistance, Model 500, Blake Baxter (probably his all-time
favorite producer) and Chicago heroes such as Farley Jackmaster Funk,
Armando Gallop and mr.Fingers. Later on this palette of influences
grew with early Mu-Ziq, Aphex Twin, Drexciya, various stuff from The
Irdial Discs label and virtually every type of freaked deep music
he could get his hands on.
But
nothing had quite the influence of when, somewhere in the early 90ies,
he first heard a band called 'Unit Moebius' on the radio. A punky
palette of RAW freaked out Lo-fi chicago trax and deep detroit jams
made with machines which were found next to the garbage can. Shocked
in awe he heard that this music came out of The Hague, Holland The
very same city he lived in! Put on the right track by this fact he
stumbled into the Bunker Records office and discoverd a world of contemporary
autistic freaked music lovers who looked beyond all the bland house
and dance music that ruled the media and clubs. Musical mentors such
as IF and Melvin White (aka pametex) lectured him with even more unknown
sounds such as early electro and the obscure pre-1983 Italian disco
which production secrets were closely studied. In 1998 Bunker released
the first vinyl of Legowelt : Pimpshifter, a 6 track mingled Italo
Chicago combi which became an instant cult hit with tracks such as
'Stumvogel' and 'Total Pussy Control'.
Apart
from producing Legowelt has been playing live all over the world for
the last 5 years. A lot of time together with Orgue Electronique and
the infamous Bunker Team.
