FEATURED ARTICLE – IN THE COMPANY OF De WULF

No one on both sides of the water has carved a name quite so respected on the techno/house scene as the Belgian producer and D.J. Frank De Wulf. In the business his name is a legend but in being responsible for over a hundred mixes and for the still much played B-Sides material he is endearingly modest. Last week he performed as a D.J., at Heaven. We cornered him on Saturday and dragged him down to Technopolis at the Astoria for a brief interrogation.

R.S. How does the U.K. house scene differ from Europe?

F. You cannot buy breakbeat tunes in Belgium, which is a great pity, much as it is that you cannot buy Euro easily here now, there is so much good music being ignored.

R.S. What do you think of the Breakbeat style?

F. Many of the samples used are very tired now, there is a dangerous lack of originality in the style but I like it very much. I have spent all my money on Breakbeat records this time here.

R.S. When can we hope to see a new B-Sides release.

F. We are still negotiating with R and S records so hopefully very soon but nothing is 99% we are still open to deals. Something we look forward to a lot as theres nothing quite like a B-Sides tune for an outdoors Summer stomp. If you’re not familiar with them check out the Reactivate albums Vol 1 & Vol 2.
