About

Wolfgang Voigt, born in 1961 in Cologne, Germany, is an artist, music producer, label owner and one of the co-founders of the Cologne-based electronica and techno label Kompakt. 

His project GAS, an intoxicatingly sinister work of sound art based on highly condensed classical sound sources, has been thrilling a global audience far beyond the traditional electronica and techno music scenes for over 20 years.  By combining abstract nature sounds with strings and brass alongside GAS’s minimalist cover designs incorporating photographs he took in the forest, Voigt shows his strong affinity for Romanticism and portrays the forest as a mysterious or melancholic place. GAS fantasises about a sound body ranging somewhere between Schönberg and Kraftwerk, between bugle and bass drum. GAS is Wagner in the guise of glam rock, Hansel and Gretel on acid. An endless march through the undergrowth—into the disco—of an imaginary, misty forest. In 2017, GAS made its long-awaited return with the release of fifth full-length Narkopop. The album had a much more organic, almost orchestral sound than the project's prior, loop-based output. 

"Voigt’s forest no longer merely murmurs; it positively exults." - The Wire

Support from Timeron

'Crooked, curious machine music from the home of such stuff courtesy of James Tranmer, who's best known as member of Upset! The Rhythm's Pheromoans and The Sticks.
Working outside of lo-fi, avant-pop parameters he proves a dab hand at creating nervy machine rhythms matched by fluent, almost jazz-wise synth and box strokes to come off like some long-lost mutant from Detroit or Chicago circa '89 ' Boomkat
Timeron has made appearances on recent compilations from Anti-Ghost Moon Ray & Newcastle label Acid Waxa, with a debut 12" imminent. He will be performing an improvised fully analogue hardware set for this event.
