William Watts

How Opal Tapes keep digging up these producers no-one has ever heard of we’ll never know, but God bless them for doing so. The latest mystery is William Watts and his eight-track split cassette with fellow alliteration addict (DJ) Ford Foster. His contribution to the tape is four pieces of tracky, arpy stompers that join the dots between Foster’s scuzzy ghetto-tek and the more melodic strains of EBM & post-punk. A brief e-mail exchange with WW revealed he is a man of many genres and aliases: There’s Flores Del Vicio – a heaving industrial techno outfit manned by a rotating cast of equally mysterious contemporaries – an unfathomably noisy project that goes by the name of Oven, and a few other things that it’ll probably be more fun to keep secret for now.
