Legowelt (DJ) + Stanza Crew (VJ) Live @ Spitz, London
LEGOWELT
Described by Vice Magazine as "one of the most inventive and restless talents in electronic music today" Danny Wolfers aka Dutch remixer and recording artist Legowelt began producing music in the early 1990's after hearing Detroit artists like Underground Resistance and Model 500 and Chicago heroes Farley, Jackmaster Funk and Mr Fingers.
In 1998 Holland's Bunker Records released Legowelt's Pimpshifter, which became an instant cult hit with tracks such as Stumvogel and Total Pussy Control. Other notables included Disco Rout which was voted track of the year 2002 by Germany's Groove magazine. He's remixed for producers and artists from Sven Vath to Solvent (Ghostly International) and Plastique De Rev (Mental Groove). An insanely prolific producer, Wolfers also records under a handful of other aliases including Gladio, Polarius and Klaus Weltman, releasing on a number of different labels. As Legowelt, he's released a dozen or so projects on various formats, with particular fondness for vinyl, most of them on Bunker records.
Legowelt is an artist who thinks that most electronic music is too clinical, and has been quoted as saying "the music that I want to make and hear has a raw kind of vibe that isn't so clinical like today's dance music, where everything is so digital and flat. It has to rock!'

STANZACREW
Famous for absorbing just about anything and everything into their twisted minds, before realising it digitally and spitting it back out on-screen, the stylistically self-described stilo cutters, copy paste stencil masters and photo-maniacs, Stanzacrew, actually started out their creative life with a slide show for the 103 birthday of one of their grandmothers!
Six years on, the top Dutch visuals trio perform their idiosyncratic motion graphics internationally playing in France, Germany, Belgium, the UK and the USA and have been spotted at festivals like 10 Days Off, Pukkelpop and I Love Techno in Belgium, the Lowlands Festival and TOON in the Netherlands and Dedbeat Festival here in the UK - and of course at many clubs, venues, living rooms and even underground bunkers!
They've made videos for bands including Lomechanik, Autophonic and Krang and their work has been released on the Dutch visuals DVD label NoTV on their Visual Music compilation series.
