Few mixtapes in recent electronic music history have had the immediate and lasting impact of 100% Galcher. First uploaded in June 2013 via Matthew Kent's now-defunct Blowing Up The Workshop series, the one-hour mix of sixteen original productions introduced the world to Galcher Lustwerk's singular vision — lo-fi, hip-house-inflected and entirely unlike anything else circulating at the time. It launched a career, defined a sound and has remained in heavy rotation ever since. Nearly a decade on, Ghostly International have done the right thing: a fully remastered double LP that gives these tracks the physical form they always deserved.
Lustwerk's voice — low, unhurried, conversational — moves through the productions like a late-night monologue, the beats sitting somewhere between deep house, hip hop and something entirely his own. A core member of the White Material crew alongside Young Male and DJ Richard, Lustwerk was already operating at a level of quiet confidence on 100% Galcher that most producers spend careers reaching for. Parlay, Outside The Club, Cricket's Theme, Fifty — sixteen tracks that feel as fresh and as singular across four sides of vinyl as they did on first listen. An essential document, finally on wax.
