The death of w1bo, aka Wibo Lammerts, on August 15th, 2022 shocked the worldwide electro community. The talented producer had previously released on Bass Agenda, Hilltown Disco, and Discos Antónicos, with a production of his included in Dave Clarke's Fabric 60 mix CD. With the support of Wibo's family, U-TRAX prepares to release his "When Humans Ruled The Earth" LP this month.

On "When Humans Ruled The Earth", w1b0's interest in crafting a variety of styles within the Electro genre is on full display, moving from dark to delicate sounds with ease. From the opening 303-tinged "Acid Whip" through to the sensitive yet playful closing track "Schlegel Diagram", the LP displays a true master of his craft and signifies a tragic loss to the wider electronic music community.
