😁

74th week of BETAMAX invites a DJ & Producer from Amsterdam, - Dirk Wiertz

Combining best of both worlds working in Amsterdams finest record store Concerto, making music & collecting records.
After hearing Newcleus’ Computer Age as a kid in the late 80’s he was hooked on electro music at a very young age.

Starting out with a Roland MC303 making electro tracks was all he would do, but soon many more drum machines & synthesizers filled his studio.

Now more inspired by the likes of Drexciya, Anthony Rother, and many others he started developing his style
and started podcasting monthly mixes with his electro faves.

Lately, his track “Texel” was released on LBR Records in March this year, delivering a blistering electro cut, followed by his debut EP “Grounded” on Cyber Domain, released on cassette tape, which gained the support of a.o. Dark Science Electro, Jonny Moy and Dave Clarke.

“ It lends the hard-driving bass-lines muscular tension and elastic bounce. Combined with kinetic rhythms and drum breaks, Wiertz delivers an on-point and low-end driven techno full of thrilling surprises.”

Tune in today at 8PM (GMT+2) for an exclusive 1-hour mix on Play4n4 radio.

Tomas Ruiz, aka RUSSELL, is a self-made electronic music artist that has been active in Santiago de Chile since 2014. RUSSELL's multi-tasking role in helping launch the Cazeria Cazador (CZCZ) label was a big step for his career in the role of public relations, producer and DJ. The collectives cultural impact in its native Chile since forming in 2015 was significant. They subvert the conservative attitudes dominating their homeland, fighting against artistic stagnation with illegal underground parties in Santiago's abandoned buildings and forward-thinking releases that channel a melting pot of influences.

RUSSELL burst into broader consciousness in 2017, gaining attention on the international stage supporting renowned artists such as Nicolás Jaar, J.Albert, Tomas Urquieta, DJs Pareja and releasing a series of albums and collaborations with various Chilean artists and labels over the past two years. He now joins up with the enthralling Swiss-based label, LBR Records, whose mission is to contribute to electronic music producers' artistic, technical and promotional development.

'Sombras' is an eight-piece album full of broken electronic textures and emotions. The album's sound shows a unique touch, emotional pads, and breakbeats critical elements. RUSSELL shows us a futuristic proposal in the moment of releasing new material with no boundaries of sound. This release is a perfect example of his artistic vision, with a mixture of experimental electro sounds and thumping techno rhythms that carry a rare sense of frisky fluidity.
