WSTLNDR – Atmostopia (Album)
WSTLNDR is the side project of Leon Bolier, and under that new name he is releasing his first album titled “Atmostopia”. The Dutch artist has spent the last year developing “a 12-track music collection that focuses exclusively on piecing together sounds, FX and sequences that dial that much deeper into the synapses.“
The album from Black Hole Recordings is more experimental for Bolier and is quite different than what he would normally put out, hence the side project name. Instead of going in a completely different direction under Bolier (check out “Every Single Piece” with Redondo and She Keeps Bees), he wisely chose to start a new project and expand from there. Two notable artists he collaborates with on the album is Fisher and Evil Sardine, an anagram of the famed trance producer Sied van Riel.
“Leon himself says: “for me, WSTLNDR is both the means to the alternate end and an outlet port of sorts. It’s ‘a platform’ through which I can release marginally more experimental material – music that’s less ‘radio-reliant’. Some of it will work on dancefloors, others in one type of DJ set, perhaps more than another, or even be more at home in-home or car (and by virtue be more downtime oriented).
It’s been 5 years since I’ve produced an album or any description”, he continues. “With ‘Atmostopia’, I feel fans of my ‘Pictures’ and ‘Phantasma’ long-players from the end of the last decade will likely pick up on recurrent themes in this. People who really enjoyed those previous albums, I think will also really dig where I’m coming from with this.”
The creation of “Atmostopia” was inspired by the likes of Sasha, Joris Voorn, Guy J, Maceo Plex, Trentemoller, and Stephan Bodzin. Take a listen to the album preview below and download it today!
