Out now:
ZANDVOORT & UILENBAL – FOLK TRIUMFATOR
vinyl edition

Out now another fresh vinyl version (due to unforeseen disturbances in timespace continuum they are always released at the same time *)…the 2020 Zandvoort & Uilenbal Folk Triumfator album!  Reissued by the cult Belgian WEME records. Get it at clone or any other good recordstore! Comes on 2xLP with full colour artwork sleeve with lyrics of spoken word on the back!

Check out the snips on bandcamp:

“Legowelt teams up with medieval music expert Jimi Helinga once again for a new album in their ‘para-academic’ Zandvoort & Uilenbal project. Folk Triumfator is the successor to the cult 2016 GERUIS UIT SOMBERDORP in which they return to appropriate historical instruments and mix it with ‘modern’synthesizers. We can hear a medieval Hurdy Gurdy, A Victorian Harmonium, a 1950’s Mixtur Trautonium, an electro acoustic thumb harp and much more, all mingled and amalgated into the unique Zandvoort & Uilenbal sound. It all crackles and squeaks like an old haunted ship drifting into a foggy sinister harbour while being obsvereed by Ligottian clown puppets. We can write how conceptual and arty this all is but let’s just say this is hardcore dark ambient with lots of medieval drone space jazz influences to trip your mind out into a region where time and your opinions cease to exist.”

*  the real reason the record plant in question is slow is because its clogged up pressing 50000 boomer diarea pink floyd prog rock albums for Wallmart no joke

New Studio Photo

The new studio on a misty Sunday morning sun, still needs some more plants and bric-a-brac. As some of you might know I moved the studio to a new place last month – the North Sea Institute of Overmind on the seaside has moved to a pleasant abode in the deep forest beyond the dunes. I probably think up a new name for the new studio soon. Besides that its business as usual. Among lots of other stuff we can see a Novation Summit, An Akai X7000, Novation Bassstation, a Sequential Prophet 2000, A Roland D50, A sequential Pro One, A Korg Mono/Poly, An Oberheim OB6 (under the dustcover), 19″ racks and a modular. Ok that’s it for today laterzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Dickie Smabers – Jammed From the Fist 2xLP

COMING SOON!!!! My The Hague moerwijk mullet FC Den Haag hooligan alter ego Dickie Smabers returns (without the Moerwijk crew) with some fresh music on British Unknown to the Unknown Records! If you are unfamiliar with the Dickie Smabers & The Moerwijk Crew project, I made an album with that many eons ago called FC DEN HAAG which goes for crazy $$$$$$ now.  Dickie Smabers’ sound signature evolved a bit over the years from old school 808 electro to Unit Moebius ChiHago raw rhythmmmmm tracks.

Anyways this is going to be a 2x vinyl release with 8 overeasy fat The Hague D&R mixer jams squeezed from the ‘fist’, made in an afternoon or 2. The tape deck heads were so non alligned the tracks almost started to chorus/flange/phase, barely holding things together… ‘Track themes’ span mostly The Hague related stuff like the disfunctional yet cult BABYLON shopping mall, Buying a second hand Akai X7000 in the posh upperclass Vogelwijk (our version of Hampstead), Obscure nightmarish dutch TV show Pompy the Robodoll and some other adventures from the life of Dickie Smabers!!!

Available mid February at your local record dealer or preorder at BLEEP.COM etc.

ALSO for the FIRST time we got a ‘COVER TAPE’ a compilation with various supercool artists from the Shadow Wolf CYBERZINE-o-SPHERE. You can get that compilation for free/paywhatyouwant here

COMMODORE AMIGA VERSION:

Finnish demoscene legend Vesari made a Commodore Amiga computer version! Check out the cool movie below and the .MOD version of my ‘Danger in the Air’ track playing in the background which sounds better then the original in it’s crunchy Amiga .MOD music format appearance. Download the Amiga version on AMINET here

If you never heard of the Amiga: The Commodore Amiga is still the greatest computer ever, a creative rebellious cyberpunk powerhouse that started zillions of music/graphic/design/animation/coding careers in the latter 1980s and 1990s. As a musical instrument it is a raw sampler/sequencer/drummachine that earned its place in gear history next to, let’s say an EMU SP1200, MPC and stuff like that. Sadly they went bankrupt in the 90s and now we have to use boring PC’s & Macs. In a parralel dimension Amigas are still thriving and the world is a peacefull utopia.

Also some more AMIGA legowelt related news: Fastram from PT1210MK1 (the cult Amiga .mod tracker DJ software) converted the Legowelt Drum Wizardry sample pack to Amiga 8 bit sample format so you can use it straight away in your Amiga trackers! Download the converted Amiga Legowelt Drum Wizardry sample pack here. (.LHA file 3,3 Megabytezzz)
