Chicago-based producer Beau Wanzer makes dark, gritty electronic music
inspired by early industrial, house/electro, and minimal synth. Often consisting of zombified vocals croaking over hypnotic machine rhythms, his music is eerie, grotesque, and a bit sleazy, but it always contains a crucial element of twisted, macabre humor. As a DJ his sets are an eclectic mix of these things but with an off-kilter approach...throwing in old punk, noise, and everything in-between.

He has had a long history in the American Underground Noise/Electronic music community. Starting with a monthly in 2006 (that's still currently active) focussing on the fringes of electronic music and hosting over 200 lives acts showcasing the darker, seedy elements of the underground. Prior to releasing his first solo output in 2014, Wanzer collaborated with many different artists. Most notably TRAXX as the duo Mutant Beat Dance. Eventually working with other artists, including Rezzett, Maoupa Mazzocchetti, and Steve Summers. Releasing on multitude of diverse labels including Dark Entries, Mannequin, L.I.E.S, Trilogy Tapes, Minimal Wave, Ninja Tune, L.A Club Resource, as well a his own self-released imprint Wanzer has built a diverse catalog of slimy scum covered tunes for the mutant basement dwellers. His output still continues to maintain a consistent flow for the freaks and chicken head eating geeks.
