Ahead of his American tour for the album, including a Chicago date this Friday at Primary, Bambounou reached out to LWE with a fresh mix of everything that's been exciting him lately and divulged more about his career to date and making it big in the Dominican Republic.
With his new alias Rival making its first appearance via a release on the Drone label, LWE decided to find out what D'Marc Cantu's plans are for the pseudonym and quiz him over his fruitful collaborations. He also knocked up an exclusive, hour long mix that delves into his love of jakbeat, house, and techno.
In anticipation of his appearance at As You Like It's February 7th event at Public Works, I finally took the opportunity to shine the spotlight on one of Chicago's local heroes. Olin also provided LWE with a stellar podcast that highlights both his wide ranging taste and exceptional ability to tie these threads together in an engaging way.
When the duo approached LWE with a sublime mix entirely made up of their own back catalog peppered with forthcoming and unreleased tracks we jumped at the chance to run it, hitting the guys up with a few questions in the process to find out more about the English DJ and production team.
Offered this "A Downer On A Dark Dank Day" mix from Paul Cottam, we jumped at the chance to feature it and get to know the respected UK producer.
LWE got in touch with Fabrice Lig to find out more about his new album album, his early days of clubbing in Ghent, and what he has gained from more than 20 years in the business. He also put together an exclusive mix for us that is his personal homage to the Detroit sound that has kept him inspired all these years.
LWE sat down with Ital recently to chat about Sustain-Release and his latest album Endgame, and he provided us with a recording from the festival.
When Sendai offered LWE the chance to provide their set from Berlin Atonal 2014 we jumped at the chance. Read the duo's description of that night and their set then listen along.
LWE got in touch with the veteran DJ to talk about his upcoming projects and the incredible amount mix tapes he has recorded over the years. He also kindly gave us an exclusive mix of some of his favorite producers from Detroit and around the globe.
In anticipation of her appearance at the Sustain-Release festival this weekend, LWE caught up with Rrose for a brief chat about gender and presence, and she sent us a sterling mix of mind-bending techno.
