How's Life Beau Wanzer?
Chicago-based producer Beau Wanzer makes dark, gritty electronic music inspired by early industrial and minimal synth from the '70s and '80s as well as low-budget horror films from around the same time period. 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. Time to get to know him a little bit better in our How’s Life? series.
