One To Watch: Weval (Electronic Beats TV)

Weval, the Dutch duo with their sought-after debut on Kompakt in 2016 stars in our next ‘One To Watch’ episode here on Electronic Beats TV. Their music challenges the relationship between the new and the old, while focusing on the fun side of the workflow: experimentation, playfulness and positive approach all the way.

Probably our best export product at the moment. Big love for these guys❤️

[@icecreamgee]

the addition of a drummer was your best move

[@albinoduck44]

My favorite duo of all time. Please come out to the states Weval, I need to see you two live.

[@tigerpjm]

Hahaha! I pressed play and dived straight down to the comment to say *"They're brilliant! Every album is different, but they are consistently great"* And the first words spoken on the video is... * "Every record is different"*

[@6020fsk]

saw them in 2015 at pitch in amsterdam, didnt know them by then, but i was totally hooked by their live set. Great guys, great music.

[@BenHall289]

That last point he made about recording everything and being positive when collaborating and then decide later if some of it gets thrown out, sounds so obvious when he puts it like that, yet i know from experience how easily it can go the other and like he says , nothing gets done at all. Better to make a load of stuff that's not good and doesn't get used than not make anything at all. The latter will destroy your enthusiasm and love for producing.

[@kryptoniterazor]

Dying to see their full live show here in the states!

[@wesleyhawk137]

Dank jullie jongens, super inspirerend. Wij lopen echt een soort van vast op ons Creatieve process en het klinkt vergelijkbaar op een beetje hoe jullie het beschrijven. horen hoe jullie daar mee omgaan is echt oog openend. ❤

[@Onixar217]

The melody he plays on the piano at 4:07 made it into their song Doesn't Do Anything.

[@f.p.8577]

[@nietsmusic]

Born to be Alive is niet van the Village People

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

🤔

[@RoseRinged]

Het is niet, de village people.

[@roy_funk]

Love the combination with the drummer .. you guys need to release the Days live version you did few years ago for 3 voor 12

[@synthanatomy]

instant vibe :)

[@Moskalus]

yes

[@megadavel1]

Incredible sound, nice collection of gear too....what is the little synth you talked about?

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

Korg 707

[@grauoliv]

Oh my, from 4:47 on, there is a knock sound ... I thought that was a sound in my room! *lol*

[@jessinrodenburg7728]

Fun fact, the blonde guy did Mastermovies when he was younger

[@TheBloodycow]

Serieus? Dat wist ik nog niet... "zag je mij vliegah?!" 🤣

[@j.t2548]

What is mastermovies?

[@versnellingspookie]

@@j.t2548 an old dutch comedy duo who mainly re-dubbed movies, and they also made skits. Their videos are still quoted a lot by 20-35 year olds here in The Netherlands

[@MrWunterslausch]

now im curious what the synth is. they tactically placed the echo pedal on top of the name

[@LouisSerieusement]

@@ElectronicBeatsTV you are a synth encyclopedia !

[@corri303]

Korg 707. You're welcome.

[@isolamusic6205]

Do you know the name of the plugin which can be seen on the screen at 2.02?

[@tipvandenbos6416]

Looks like waves h-delay

[@isolamusic6205]

You´re right, Tip! Many Tx! Their use of reverb, space and stereo is absolutely astonishing!

[@flootymcdootymanooty9145]

Square wave lush

[@julianjaspers7763]

but what is the "cheap synth"? a Korg.....?

[@knivesout33]

Korg. But can't really find the model.

[@knivesout33]

id on 02:10?

[@pierrekolingba4578]

square - weval

[@NeroaMetaProjectOfficial]

WHATTTTTTTT ???

[@ringtail5021]

wha

[@dmomcilovic9185]

so right everything has been done a hundred time before, sorry guys but everything sounds like 100,000 other records, it is therefore pointless and vanity only to collect old gear.

[@spotCJ]

How does similar sounding music make collecting old gear 'pointless and vanity'? The sound of a violin has been the same since ages, and yet people are still composing new music for it. All this old gear is nothing more than instruments from another time. Just because the instruments are the same doesn't mean the record is going to sound the same. Originality does not depend on timbre alone.

[@andreumateulamas]

Daniel.. Could you please show me the original things you produce with your original instruments ?.. I love listening to new things.

[@_tjoeaon]

@spotCJ Awesome answer!

[@uhbi8548]

@Daniel maybe listen to some of their music before you comment on their gear, ad if it was the thing that defines them.
