WØLZT Drops Atmospheric Album ‘Tapes From The Maze’

For French artist WØLZT, music is a maze of echoes, emotions, and stories waiting to be unearthed. His latest album, Tapes From The Maze, is a bold venture into what he calls “hypnagogic rock,” an innovative fusion of ambient, post-rock, and cinematic music that reflects his fascination with sound as an immersive experience. With just three long tracks, WØLZT takes listeners on a journey through dystopian landscapes and cosmic realms, exploring moods that range from haunting to meditative.
Each track on, Tapes From The Maze, is an exploration in itself. In “Noise,” he combines minimalist synths with subtle, haunting arpeggios, setting a suspenseful tone that feels like the opening scene of a sci-fi thriller. Then, with “Driving Out,” WØLZT delves into a darker, more introspective space, combining textured synths and brooding bass that feel like a descent into an urban dreamscape, something akin to a John Carpenter soundtrack but with a modern twist. By the time we reach “Signal,” the album’s climactic track, we’re in a realm that feels both vast and intimate, a cosmic space painted with pulsing bass and otherworldly synths that evoke the wonder of interstellar exploration.
WØLZT’s sound design is key to the album’s magnetic pull. By using restraint and allowing each note to breathe, he gives listeners a sense of scale and depth that makes this album unforgettable. Every sound feels intentional, like a puzzle piece in the album’s broader sonic tapestry. His use of pauses, sparse instrumentation, and gradual builds make each moment feel as much about silence as it is about sound, creating a meditative space that’s both immersive and introspective.
Tapes From The Maze, reveals WØLZT’s capacity to craft not just music but a transportive experience that blurs the lines between reality and dreams. Through the layered intricacies of, Tapes From The Maze, WØLZT is redefining how listeners engage with music, making it less of a passive experience and more of an interactive journey. This album is a testament to his skill and artistry, and an invitation to listeners everywhere to step inside the maze of sound he’s so meticulously crafted.

Waz-u drops ambient gem ‘Vermillion’ ft. Lilyg

London-based multi-instrumentalist and producer Waz-u returns with his second album, Preludes: Dusk Psalms, set for release on 16 May 2025 via independent label Biodiversity. The 15-track record further refines the artistic depth of his debut, blending electronic textures and classical compositional techniques in an intricate, immersive listening experience.
Ahead of the album release, Waz-u is dropping an exclusive vocal version of ‘Vermillion: G Major’ from the album, accompanied by its original instrumental version. ‘Vermillion’ with Lilyg will be released on 18 April 2025, evoking intimate indie-folk and pop and follows the release of a vocal version of ‘Lament’ with Tom Norrington. ‘The singles are a way to give a voice to the atmosphere of the record and to lyrically encapsulate some of the themes explored,’ explains Waz-u. ‘Lily and Tom are good friends of mine and have both been listening to early iterations of these preludes – it felt right to involve them directly on this record.’
‘Preludes: Dusk Psalms’ marks a new branch of Waz-u’s emerging sound, guided by the duality of tradition and innovation. Combining his musical roots in early ‘90s dub techno and classical music, the album weaves carefully layered synthesizers and electronics to evoke the ambience of sacred music — from the gentle timbres of a choir or an organ to the quiet, open, and reverberating spaces of a church. Also featured throughout the album is experimental musician G9 LUV, who creates textures and drones by bowing his bass guitar, resulting in cello-like sounds. The release follows Waz-u’s 2024 debut LP, Prayer For Dawn, which merged dub, techno, and electronica in an exploration of the ritualistic traditions associated with both organized religion and dance.
Bringing the album’s themes to life, Waz-u will celebrate the release of Preludes: Dusk Psalms with a special performance at Our Holy Redeemer in Clerkenwell, London on 14 May 2025. Set against the church’s resonant acoustics, the event will feature live performance arrangements, including a choir, with further details to be announced soon.
