FACT TV 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

He is trying to explain what type of sound he is looking to hear. He should have went to @Enter Party at Space. RECONDITE literally caused mayhem on the dancefloor. Richie Hawtin sure knows how to pick a dream team.

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 ;)

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.

Carola is a really good techno Dj, stop bullshit and recognize his achievements... I enjoy both of them: Legowelt and Carlola's work.
