This week's podcast comes to us by way of Wurst Music Co.'s Ulysses. As one half of Filipsson and Ulysses with Holmar Filipsson (aka Thugfucker) and Neurotic Drum Band with John Selway, Ulysses is a man on a mission on the production front and quite a stellar DJ to boot.
Ulysses' DJ career began in 1991, when he started his university's first Techno radio show. Shortly after graduating he returned to his hometown and became a player in the late-90's electro scene in New York, running some of the earliest large-scale electro parties in New York. Guests included legends such as Alexander Robotnick and Arthur Baker, as well as recent stars like I.F., Miss Kitten and the Hacker and Adult.
Ulysses is not only about party promotion, however, and a close look at his diverse musical career will quickly shatter this misconception. Although a long-time advocate of obscure disco and classic techno, Ulysses is currently best known for the piano house anthem "Robotic Hypnotic Adventure" from his Neurotic Drum Band collaboration with John Selway. In addition to the NDB, Ulysses collaborates with Thugfucker’s Holmar Filipsson as "Filipsson & Ulysses", who are releasing soon-to-be classic EPs of emotive electronic disco on Internasjonal and Bearfunk Records. Ulysses still continues to chart his own musical path with an incredible EP of dark Pop for Internasjonal Spesial in the works, as well as some new club-friendly dance tracks on Wurst and a number of remixes.
His music suggests the nostalgic fun of yesterday's classics without ever overlooking the new sounds of today. Its Ulysses' unique combination of Dance music's history and dance music's ever-changing nature that makes him a unique force in dance music.
