This whole lo-fi, straight-to-tape, DIY aesthetic that’s so popular these days? Danny Wolfers invented it. OK, that’s an exaggeration. But it’s true that the Dutch artist has embodied these characteristics for longer than some of this style’s recent adopters have been alive. Wolfers gets additional respect for never wavering from these core tenets of his artistry. He’s popular, to be sure. He plays live all over the world, and he releases records on big labels like Clone and L.I.E.S. But he still clearly values unfiltered creativity above anything else.
Head over to his website. There’s a section for the Ableton plug-ins he makes and gives away. There’s a bit for his zine, Shadow Wolf Cyberzine. He writes reviews of old synthesizers, and has a section called Obseuriosa where you can download his weird, sample-based experiments. Then see his Discogs page. He has over 30 aliases, and he’s released two albums already this year. He called the first, A Vampire Goes West, “amateur space jazz meets professional ambient.” He described the second, Unfolding The Future With Amateur Space Jazz, as “a lo-fi minimal [wave-ish] version of cosmic space jazz and anything closely related to it... from spiritual soul, G-funk, Ethiopian jazz to ambient and everything in between.” (He wrote and illustrated a 24-page graphic novel for that one.) To summarise all of this in a few words, Wolfers is the real deal.
His RA Session is longest we’ve released so far, which was probably to be expected. He turned up to our London office last month with a trunk full of gear and, roughly speaking, performed five tracks. The first two are versions of forthcoming material, and from around 16 minutes onwards we get Wolfers in full-blown improv mode.

Legowelt music is a soundtrack to ghostly parties in underground caves filled with gigantic emerald crystals and stalactites
Soooo true!
And boobs
Now there’s a place I’d go to!
What's the difference between stalacmites and stalagtites? Tights come down....
I started applauding at the end but it just sounded like 808 handclaps
nice one
I think he brought all those plants from home too
I was thinking the same thing. He does love his house plants
Well he is not wrong about it, it makes it cosy after all :)
They are part of the band bro
He must have a gardener roadie!
House music is more cosy with house plants.
Saw this man perform a 3 hr live set a month ago, probably the best live set I’ve ever heard. Tearing just thinking about it
14:11 - OOOOOOOH DAMN. Guess that's what a Legowelt 'drop' sounds like
Havent watched anything from Legowelt that does not fall in the category "awesome". Bravo again!
god damn that opening title animation is classy as fuck! shoutout to the motion designer, those thin lines are fuckin clean
Agreed.
chuffed to see the Electribes in use by a true master.
I'm not a religious person but Legowelt seems to be taking me to church on a regular basis.
I'd love to see exactly how the gear is routed and mixed/sub-mixed.
So deliciously quirky. Everything I expect from Legowelt. Thanks RA
Danny proves once again that it's not the gear you use but how much imagination and skills you've got that make great music ; )
Ok so make this kind of music from guitar, cello or church organ though.
In fact Tools matters. It doesnt have to be expensive,though. But its really matter and selecting specific kind of tools that suit you are crucial in making music. One of thing i regret is I should know this since youth
+Serenity Tree I think that's what they were getting at. awesome music doesnt require a Modal synth or a Dave Smith Synth. you can make just as deep and rich sounding stuff on a Bass Station and Electribe.
you do know he lives in a house stacked to the roof full of synths and this is just a tiny selection he brought for the show?
+southpole76 Yes i do know that. it still doesnt change anything that ive said
Well McLuhan would disagree, the medium is the message
'Master at work'.....Amazing workflow!👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
SO, from the left to the right : Roland JX3P, Novation bass station ; TR707 ; moogerfooger (delay?) ; Korg Microsampler ; Korg Electribe sampler 2 (x2?) ; and a big mixer :)
For the nerds watching the mixer is Midas 160 !
Nice to see the Electribes in there.
Danny must have friends in high places because his music is other worldly. Damn it's so good. Thank you for this Danny and crew!
Great stuff. A real renaissance man.
You moved us, really great work on your storytelling and intensity of feelings - the underbelly of the 303 sound really hold it together, love the drop also nice break beat intro.
Some music is like that person in your friendship group you always think could be a great friend, and then after years, you finally find the moment and hit it off... this set is that for me and mr Wolfers. Firm friends for life now 🙏
This guy's a freaking genius. Love the way he transitions from first track to Computerized Paradise. So smooth.
Superb intro, nice work Mr Legowelt.
This guy is dope af. The music anyway, but this guy is dope, doesn't matter what he's doing!
Best set Live i have heard lately !! this is some craxy shit !!
One of the best sets on youtube. Danny is the man. On 🔝 for a long time. 2 cold.
YO Im an old man so bored of music. I think I've been reborn.
I reborn too because him! Legowelt
Did you guys drink from the chalice?
He will never not bring me to tears
Master of the universe
this is awesome everytime i watch/listen to it.
dont tell me this not what we have all been waiting for. thank you RA and Legowelt!
14:15 goes harrrrrrrd. Love it!
20:31 - my mind left the room
what a legend
That painted 707....
danny and the houseplants. its, magical.
He's a genius
The sound of Scheveningen!
12:00 this is Legowelt! I love him
Maestro de maestros... magnífica e impresionante sesión!
this guy is a master of his craft. fantastic set.
Became a fan when I saw him at output in Brooklyn, dopeeeeeee
it should be minimum 24 hour, magnificent!
Amazing! I'd love to see this live.
This is great. Only just discovered him.
Min. 14:44 - Sounds so flawless-amazing-dope
That 707 skin is brutally inspiring
super surprised to see a microsampler being used here, wonder what hes using it for?
Very cool. Love the vibes!
20:28 god damn
I don't always listen to amazing music on youtube, but when I do, it's always Legowelt. I've been an avid listener of electronic music since 1994 and you sir are on the tier of otherwordly godliness. Aphex Twin is my favourite, but you give him a run for his money.
12:55 true danceable techno
Incredible, in all the best ways possible !
NICE. And loving the amazonia vibe!
My technowife, i see you
sweet tune baby! xox
..I just love his sound astethics 🖤 🖤 🤍

Mesmerizing..
At 12:00 starts the bliss, this is so GOOD, let that energy heal your mind and heart.
Thank you LW and RA for this!
Dutch West Coast!
AioJeffa We only have a West Coast ✌️
Xavier Volendam definitely is East Coast.

Get to da choppa OK if coast means salt water and we forget about the Zuiderzee, then we still have a Northern Coast....

Thank's for that, what a great work
17:19 is madness
Wolfers is back again with soul 🔥❤️
