THE
WERRA FOXMA MAGAZINE.
YEAR
TWO. ISSUE FIVE.
Hi
everyone.
Thank
you for picking up this latest issue of the WFR Magazine, and it’s our biggest
yet. I hope you enjoy it.
We have
loads to share with you. We speak to our cover artist Cholly about her mesmerizing debut album ‘Anomaly’, and shares some
of her processes on how she creates her wall-of-sample, vocal electro sound.
Her album is not to be missed. We also catch up with Matt Donatelli, aka Survey Channel, and we talk about his
gorgeous new album, Canvas Doubles.
This
issue’s cover CD comes courtesy of DiN legend Ian Boddy, whose well-known Berlin School-esque modular odysseys
have delighted thousands through the years. Our man Mike Stanton grabbed Ian a feature interview, too.
The 2023
WFR SubClub has had a bit of a makeover, courtesy of The Shadow Library, aka graphic designer Andy Heggs. We cover the first 3 releases from the 2023 schedule,
featuring interviews with Finland’s 4T
Thieves, Japan’s Nyoral and
Northern Ireland’s John Haughey.
We also
felt that the musicians are hogging too much of the limelight these days, so we
shone the spotlight on some of the indie electronica’s most renpwed graphic
designers for some insight and thought process gems. They really are an inspirational
bunch, and we thank them for their contributions to the scene.
We also
welcome back Rick Flynn for his now
regular reviews section, which we have doubled in size (he does buy a lot of
records, does our Rick), Mike dwells
on the monolithic legacy of Gary Numan,
and godmother of DIY pop Claire Welles
picks out her favourite 3 records for us.
Finally,
you’ll notice information about our 3 WFR events for 2023 dotted around the
magazine; WFR NorthWest (March), WFR London (June), and WFR // NYC (October).
If you haven’t bought your tickets for these events, and would like to come
along, please snap your tickets up early to:
A –
avoid disappointment
B – help
me sleep at night knowing that you’re coming, rather than waiting til the last
minute. I am going grey fast enough without the squeaky bum time!
Enjoy,
and take care.

ISSUE 4.
Hello
everyone,
Welcome
to issue 4! Well, me made it to end the year, through all of life’s ups and
downs. It’s been as eventful a year as we could have hoped for. Not everything
went our way, but life isn’t a straight path, and some curveballs were served
up and dealt with, alongside some spectacular hight points
Issue 4
is another feature packed affair, and starting from now, I have some help
putting the magazine together. Enter Michael Stanton and Rick Flynn! Michael
will handle some of the main features for us, and Rick is going lo look after
quarterly reviews, highlighting the best releases from our indie electronic
scene.
We put
Michael and Rick straight to work this issue. Rick presents his 10 favourite
albums of 2022 (plus honourable mentions), and Michael digs into the state of
the indie electronic scene, and looks at some of the highlights of 2022, plus a
lovely article on often-overlooked Edinburgh duo, Yimino.
The
recent Castles in Space Levitation ’22 and WFR North Plan B are reviewed, as
well as bringing you the line up for our latest festival, WFR NorthWest, help
in Lancaster next March, with a massive lineup including Warrington-Runcorn New
Town Development Plan, Sulk Rooms, Elizabeth Crompton and many more.
The
first full year of the WFR SubClub is in the books, and what a fisrt year we
have had! The year is completed with a trio of incredible albums from names
familiar to everyone, including Autumna, Mike K Smith, and Sulk Rooms.
Our 3
artist features come from across the Atlantic. The next two albums on the label
are covered in depth, including this issue’s cover artist, Bendu, and his
hypnotic new LP, Portaling. We also chat to Burial Grid, as we find out about
his new album, Music for No Tomorrow. We also take a trip through the studio of
Survey Channel, ahead of next year’s LP, Canvas Doubles.
And
finally, we let you look at some of the releases to look forward to from the
WFR 2023 roster. We are incredibly proud of the lineup that’s taken from over
the last few months, and we can’t wait to share some more amazing music with
you next year.
Enjoy,
and take care,
Fra
