Various - Writers on Wax Volume 1 The Sound of Graffiti (Red Translucent Vinyl, Gatefold, Photo Book Cover) - Ruyzdael

Limited red vinyl/gatefold edition ''Ruyzdael presents Writers on Wax Volume 1: The Sound of Graffiti, a compilation album with 8 exclusive, primarily electronic tracks by producers from four different countries who are more (in)famous as graffiti writers than as musicians.''Letters on a wall, letters on a train. When you take it back to that essence, it's really not so strange that graffiti writers call themselves and each other writers. With just a few letters? a word, a name? they write their mythology for a general audience. No huge vocabulary needed just imagination, and a need for expression. It can come as no surprise that those qualities extend to other disciplines as well. Graffiti has long been associated with musical styles (hip-hop, punk) that contain an abundance of imagination and expression. Less well known is the fact that graffiti writers have embraced the DIY approach of electronic music. Writers on Wax Volume 1 is a group exposition of beats and basslines, imagination, and expression. Sometimes using a lot of words, usually none or very few. The dance floor has its own myths.
