BUGGE WESSELTOFT & HENRIK SCHWARTZ AT RED BULL MUSIC ACADEMY RADIO

August 26, 2010

Henrik Schwarz is a long time veteran of the German deep house scene, cutting his teeth as a DJ in the nineties, but it’s been his forays into production and epic approach to tunes that have brought a soulful jazzy groove to the 4×4 groove. On the other hand, Bugge Wesseltoft has been constantly pushing the envelope of what jazz music can be. This Norwegian mastermind is far beyond any tired ideas of ‘fusion’ and has been interested in dance music and working with DJs since the early stages of that culture in Europe. Together they form a duo extraordinaire with a very special live project. Relentlessly improvising, Bugge and Henrik work with each other’s material, create blends and new forms of existing and even previously non-existing pieces. To put it in a nutshell, they just play together – and very well so.
