WLF (Wolf) is the solo project of Otautahi Christchurch, NZ musician Aaron Hogg.
With over 25 years as a vocalist, guitarist & bassist for bands such as Pumpkinhead, Slim & Thunderwülf Aaron has amassed a wealth of experience both live & in the studio. During that time he has toured & played with an array of NZ & international acts including Shihad, HLAH, Mint Chicks, Primus, Korn, Faith No More, Tool, Fugazi & The Misfits.
Although WLF began as a side project, documenting Aarons discovery of in the box production & new found love for electronica his self-described brand of “electro-sludge” soon became his major musical focus. It is characterized by intricate, cascading arps, slabs of glitchy synth, underpinned by a heavy foundation of live bass. Irreverent, tongue in cheek flips add an often dark, human element & make for songs that bridge the gap between traditional EDM & more narrative-driven structures. Reminiscent in places of pioneering electronic artists like The Prodigy, Chemical Brothers & Future Sounds of London WLF also evokes the sounds of modern forms of EDM like Jon Hopkins, Blanck Mass & Four Tet.
In 2021 WLF released their debut EP Edgelord & on April 1st 2022 delivered the follow up 4 song EP Kook.
