yep yep yep yep yep. That's all I can say while listening to this underground classic from 2013. Rap, funk, blues, beatboxing, techno, electro and bass are all fair game to Galcher Lustwerk. His fist ever mixtape is a dark, primitive and surprisingly psychedelic vision for deep house that has aged like fine wine. - Hunter
100% GALCHER was by all accounts a game-changer when it landed in 2013 as an hour of original music from a relatively unknown producer ushered in by the beloved mix series Blowing Up The Workshop. Galcher Lustwerk’s signature sound – a smoky stream-of-consciousness baritone shadow-boxing with beats, informed by funk, rap, rhythm, and blues – felt like an epiphany, impossibly hypnotic and complete.
Since then, select songs from 100% GALCHER have seen small-run pressings, while the album has lived primarily on SoundCloud and YouTube as a low-key cult legend. The gateway into Lustwerk’s now well-established catalogue, known for its reliability as a late-night listen and its prophetic vision for the near future of underground dance music. Resident Advisor would later name it a mix of the decade, citing its influence and imagination: “Original in every sense – unknown, unheard and unbelievably good.”
In late 2022, marking 10 years since he first recorded the material, Lustwerk returns to Ghostly International to release 100% GALCHER as a remastered limited-edition double LP.
