Mugwump - Pneuma (2022)

Belgian dj & producer Mugwump is an elusive presence with a solid tastemaker reputation preceded by in-famous DJ residencies at mythic Belgian clubs and a long-standing recording relation with Cologne’s Kompakt records, ongoing DJ support from the late Andrew Weatherall as well as a large catalogue of electronic ‘disco-techno’ records, released on leading labels R&S, Gigolo, Cocoon, Endless Flight, Eskimo, Permanent Vacation or International Feel. Mugwump runs the Leftorium clubnight in Brussels and his own Subfield label with indie power-house !K7.

Following albums "Unspell" (a mixture of slo-mo disco, new-beat, psychedelic pop and balearic) and "Drape" (a postpunk turn as a live band setting), Mugwump is back with new album “Pneuma”.
It's a solid 9 tracks selection and a welcome return to Mugwump's dancefloor aesthetics, mixing weird house, bleepy techno, dub-disco and electro with songs featuring Mugwump’s sardonic & conscious lyrics. Lyrics sketches were made before the pandemic, influenced by the migrant crisis, LGTBQA+ purges and identity politics. We are in times of change and potentiality, in a momentum... a pneuma : VOICE.
