Legowelt - "Techno's not just a beat"
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 сен 2013
- FACT spent last weekend at Amsterdam's spectacular Dekmantel Festival.
Here's the second film we shot, centered around Dutch producer Danny Wolfers - best known as Legowelt and several other aliases. Wolfers might have an encyclopaedic knowledge of dance music, and the "freaked deep music" that he pursues as Legowelt is firmly dedicated to the melodic soul of classic Detroit, Chicago machine-funk and the rest of it, but he never seems to forget that having a sense of humour goes a long way.
He described his 2011 album The Teac Life as "a hella lot deep tape saturated forest-techno tracks on it and when I say Techno i dont mean that boooooooooooring contemporary shit they call techno nowadays with overrated tallentless pretentious douchebag cunt DJs playing a few halfassed dumb mongo beats and being all arty fartsy about it", and frankly, that's enough for us to love him forever. We talked about how Holland's musical city's differ and interact, why Ibiza sucks and more.
Filmed by Anoushka Seigler & Pawel Ptak, interviewed by Lauren Martin
Ahahahaha he dissed Marco Carola! I love him even more now!
Carola was such a great producer back in the 90s and early 2000s and not a bad dj.Now his sets are shit to be quite honest...so fucking boring no soul whatsoever
groobee81 I totally feel the same. I was in Naples once, in a open-air club called Old River Park, and I saw Carola play for more than 10 hours straight!
It was back in 2008 I think and it was the last good dj set I heard from him.
His mixes today are so linear and monotone...what a shame.
What he said about Carola was true back then, late 2000's
to early 2000-teens techno sucked. I was really disenchanted and spent
the era collecting older classics. Things improved out of sight around 2014. Guys like Olivier Giacomotto, Victor Ruiz and Enrico Sangiuliano are bring some colour an character back to techno.
I really like some of Victor Ruiz's tracks, but calling his work inventive is a bit far fetched I think. For me he was always the guy who produced stuff that sounds a bit drumcode like or what you would find on top of the beatport charts, so anything but groundbreaking or boundaries pushing music.
@@groobee81 i searched for this comment! 100% agree
Love the way he describes Carola's music, SO FUCKING TRUE!!
indeed, Carola´s prime was more in the late 90s until early 2000er. he changed his style completly, too boring...
Yeah, not sure what happened to Carola because he made some great techno bangers in the 90's.

for anybody wondering what the track is. Support Legowelt!
THE MAN THE MYTH THE LEGEND LEGOWELT LADIES AND GENTLEMAN !!!

The bottom line. Money does alot of damage to artists and its way of performe and productions.
We still have Legowelt, and a hand full that deliver solide quality.
And lets hope that Legowelt keeps hes word, and stay focused by producing and not folowing the bank bills.
luckily we already knew what "certain german computer program" he uses
+Boudewijn Pleij which is?
Ableton Live
thx
BITWIG!
Danny and Xosar, woo, that was the most inspiring live set ive seen in a long time. Shit is out of space! Fuck i want to go back!
So true everything he said, repect Danny, see ya!
haha marco carola uninspiring, legowelt is right
Blurred Vision well fuck you theb
Finally someone who speaks the truth
Respect!
He is totally right about Marco Carola and his minimal overhyped bullshit. Not only Marco, also Villalobos and the other overhyped dj's, even Hawtin in his '' minimal' days' They give minimal a bad name anway, the first techno from Detroit was always minimal as well but that had SOUL
G Khan comparing villalobos & richie hawtin to 'marco carola' is funny
The first Detroit was actually Electro oriented. That soul vibe came in later and was influenced by Chicago House.
Also, Detroit Techno is not just 1 style but has Experimental, Tribal, Electro and House under its wings. And the thing you say about R Hawtin in his "minimal days" is bullshit.
The only artists that should be judged badly are those who use premade loops/ghost producers. So, no, he's not totally right and sounds totally ignorant.
the king is naked! Carola and other overrated minitech shit are a disgrace for techno
come on men Villalobos plays a lot of experimental and good stuff aswell. compering marco carola and him is ridiculous.
That was a really period for techno. They ruined it somehow.
With a certain German software program...
!!!
Legowelt - "Techno's not just a beat"
mister Wolfers knows, that's all, he is not stupid or ignorance at all, he's wise!
IDOL!!
I love this guy;)
whats the name of that festival? anyone?
Legowelt - Xperiential Awakening
its on his soundcloud
The wide lens makes it look like he's talking to himself.
When i thought id run out.... i still let it go every time for Xosar.... goddess
Who is he DJing with?
1:58 out to the guy w the moustache, sold me records at rush hour lol
Preach
What’s the name of the opening track
haha yess legowelt pushing nex level sounds
what's the music in the background ?
+blur Legowelt - Elements of Houz
+blur During the interview is Legowelt - Experiential Awakening
What's all the hype about Dekmantel? I went there in 2014 and didn't think it was all that special
I get the pc and launchpad. But why the Korg MS 20? Wanting to get into music production and wondering why the launchpad wouldn't be sufficient.
I think it's the MS-20 controller, since this was before the MS-20 Mini came out. Probably just using it a as cheap MIDI keyboard that looks cool.
It's not all-in or all-out btw
Kamil Kisiel Thanks. That's what I was thinking---couldn't think of any other reason. Figured it may be my still, mild ignorance to music production ; - )
M-SALAMI Explain?
You can make pretty good music with a vst and just some hardware alongside. I find it very cool to take the best of every kind of device to make sounds. People were using the Comodore exctly like any other synth back in the days
hahahah 4:35
bonquiqui lookin fine
uch uch uch uch .... ahahah
which song he was critising?
4 : 48 epic
Thats right kids .. keep it real .

It is a shame when one of your heroes bombs another...
Funny thing I have recently listened to a few modern techno tracks, and I just hated them. So boring, way too deep and monotonous. Now listening to this interview, Legowelt said exactly the same. I guess it actually isnt just about my own taste.
check my playlist for good modern techno, hope you'll like it
Awe man theres some good stuff coming out rn. I feel like techno is having a new wave of artists the past few years. I heavily got into it in 2012 with Ben Klock and Marcel Dettman. Before I was all about Jungle. But after following what was going on in Germany back then it got me into techno and it's all i listen too.
Its a general problem with the music nowadays. Uninspired, unexciting without any expression. I think it got something to do with all the digital possibilities. Every kid can make music on his laptop computer nowadays. But to work like that doesnt demand creativity properly
🖤 🖤 🤍
Dutch electronic artists were very lucky getting government funding for years. Not sure if that gravy train has passed now.
We’re they ??
was ist das
Carola is a really good techno Dj, stop bullshit and recognize his achievements... I enjoy both of them: Legowelt and Carlola's work.
basically ... repeating... boring
Aaah so thats why Carola is booked for the whole summer, and the next summer, and the next summer... Good luck mr Legowelt
Thats because most of this public are stupid sheeps and don't even know that they're paying for being deceived, actually I really hope good luck for all of them incluiding Carola!!
Legowelt is also booked for years and years for more intelligent projects,this requires intelligent ears not allowed for conformers of easy bass lines.
There's the point he's gonna be lucky even if people like you are not given themselves the opportunity to connect his lives to the universe that surrounds you,through the sound in this case. Good luck Oliver!!!
Justin Bieber also has a lot of gigs. Your argument is invalid.
Are you really using the example of another bull shit clown,to say my argument is invalid? I'm only going to repeat: "this requires intelligent ears not allowed for conformers.." Please stop Believering every fucking thing that large masses want you to believe, do your own research of music,cinema,books,art or whatever...you may find your true self.
Ki ka I wasn't talking to you, so you kind of wasted your time talking to the hand there.
I just dont like the arrogance of Legowelt. It sounds like he never heard of Carola before. And about that 'requires intelligent ears' thing, I think its more about what kind of music you like to hear, instead of what your ears are 'allowed' to hear. It really isnt that special listening to Legowelt.
You don't fucking make Techno.
I did not expect so much ignorance from an artist like Legowelt. From an artist that produces such an underground music I would have expected less judgmental considerations. Many people, musicians, composers, etc. would consider his music trivial crap, good only for junkies or musically clueless youngsters, and he is talking exactly like them about Carola's techno. Of course he can considers his music boring, soulless and uninspiring, we are in a free world, though a more positive thinking could lead him to figure out that Carola's music is moving many souls (despite he does not move Legowelt's one), many more than what Legowelt does. That being said there cannot be a ranking on souls, neither by amount nor by quality. As long as you are moving someone's soul you have done a great job, so in such case it is a childish thing to weigh your ability and work on numbers.
So it is a really stupid comment that of Legowelt about the soullessness of Carola's music, trust me because at least he moves mine :) and Legowelt does exactly the same. Just enjoy the music you like, without judging badly people only because they feel YOUR VERY emotions with OTHER SOUNDS, gosh that is so pathetic! And try to understand what is good in other kinds of music, you could have much more fun in many more occasions ;)
whoooo somebody's a Carola fan. He voiced his opinion, he doesn't like what he hears from certain techno/house quarters...there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. You don't like his opinion. C'est la vie. If anyone's coming across like a petulant child it is you buddy
Zemmel zem What's your point caller?
Matteo Ramina did you consider maybe his train of thought is limited by english, that doesn't mean there is no train ;)
+Matteo Ramina So, the man is not entitled to have an opinion and speak what he thinks because you and other people are positively moved by the artist he disses in question? Cool. I know for sure that the fat bloke singing gangnam style moves many souls in a positive way as well. But just because he does so, that doesn't mean that I can't find his music crap and the people satisfied with it of poor taste.
+Matteo Ramina Am I a junkie or musically clueless youngster?! I don't think so. Listening to what L is saying, he isn't slating Carola at all. 'Weird experimental stuff that blows your mind' is what he said about Carola. A compliment.
