Dutch producer Danny Wolfers is heavily influenced by all
kinds of deep electronic music like Chicago house, Detroit Techno, Electro,
IDM, Italo Disco, High NRG, Movie Scores and Industrial.
He put out vinyl since the late 90ties under various
monikers of which Legowelt is the best known. Among others he also releases as Danny Blanco, Nacho Patrol and Squadra Blanco.
You can get a good overwiew here:
Apart from producing, Danny has been playing live all over
the world. A couple of years ago I could enjoy him in Dusseldorf’s reputated club
Salon des Amateurs. He turned out to be a nice and modest guy, as charming as his
music.
Even if you don’t like modern techno or house music at all
you should give him a try, because his productions are minimalistic,
atmospheric and always seem to tell a story. Highly emotional lofi electronic
music for the sophisticated dancefloor would be a suitable tag. He has just
release a new album „The Paranormal Soul“ on Dutch imprint Clone Records which
I haven’t heard yet.
Berlin Ostbahnhof was released in 2001 on a split 7“ with Orgue Electronique
on the short-lived Dutch label Eat This Record. Is is on my favourite
productions from Danny, and even contains some vocals in the mid part, what is
unusual for Danny. I can’t understand what he whispers but in my imagination he
is telling stories from the once lively club scene around the Berlin Ostbahnhof
where the old Maria and the Berghain predecessor Ostgut were located in the
early 2000 years. I wish I had been there.
