Wolfgang Lohr

Wolfgang Lohr creates a sonic bridge between the roaring twenties and the modern club scene. His music is characterized by a relentless, bouncy energy that takes the sophisticated melodies of big band jazz and anchors them with the heavy, driving percussion of contemporary house and tech-house. It is music that feels both nostalgic and futuristic, using the warmth of live brass to humanize digital precision.

What sets Lohr apart is his background as a multi-instrumentalist. Unlike producers who simply loop a swing sample, Lohr arranges his tracks with a deep understanding of jazz theory and live performance. You can hear the trumpeter's ear in the way the horn lines interact with the bass, creating a conversational quality that is often missing from more generic electro swing. The production is crisp and punchy, designed to 'press in the club' while maintaining a sense of humor and lightheartedness.

Start with his 'Electro Swing Mix' of 'Friend Like Me' or his reimagining of 'In the Mood' to hear how he transforms familiar standards into floor-filling anthems. These tracks perfectly encapsulate his ability to take the 'old-fashioned' and make it feel essential for a high-energy weekend playlist.
