Crate Diggers: Orpheu The Wizard

Over the last sev­er­al years, it’s become very appar­ent how much of an impact Orpheu The Wiz­ard has had in shap­ing Amsterdam’s music cul­ture. With ten sol­id years of Red Light Radio under his belt and new projects such as the Dynam­ic Range lis­ten­ing bar, not for­get­ting his cult sta­tus as a selec­tor, he has many defin­ing strings to his bow. In recog­ni­tion of this, The Vinyl Fac­to­ry vis­it­ed Orpheu The Wiz­ard in his nat­ur­al habi­tat for the lat­est instal­ment of their ​‘Crate Dig­gers’ series.

Wel­com­ing The Vinyl Fac­to­ry into his Ams­ter­dam based home, Orpe­hu walks them through his his­to­ry with records start­ing with his ear­ly begin­nings as a Dis­co col­lec­tor. They then move on to dis­cussing the sleeves he designs for labels such as Dek­man­tel, Off Minor and Sec­ond Cir­cle. From here, they touch on his moti­va­tions, work with Red Light Radio, the ori­gins of his moniker and much more. Get the full scoop, here.
