American DJ Spotlight: Wolfgang Gartner


This guy may look like a father of two living happily in the suburbs with his wife and working a desk job. He actually is a very talented DJ with his debut album 'Weekend in America' being released last September, which by the way is a masterpiece. He displays his talents by making  some heavy hitting electro house tracks and even infusing hip hop and electro to make a unique sound. One such track is 'Circus Freaks' on which Wolfgang collaborates with Jim Jones and Cam'ron, and its got a hard synth line and loaded with bass. He is also not afraid to go into uncharted territory such as in 'Shrunken Heads' (my favorite track) he distorts his sound until the listener cannot really put their finger on it. Also,  make sure if he is coming to your town you get a ticket I saw him last Halloween; man put on one hell of a show which included an  encore of his collaboration with Deadmau5 'Animal Rights'. This guy really is putting America on the map of electronic music, with 8 tracks hitting the #1 spot on Beatport's Top 10.  That being said Wolfgang Gartner is the real deal,  and sure to keep the hits coming.
