Known for his innovative approach, he often incorporates elements of traditional German music and culture into his tracks, delivering a unique twist on techno. The "W.I.R. Remixe" and "3 Remixe für Andreas Dorau - Unsichtbare Tänzer" are prime examples of his skill in reinventing music while maintaining its original integrity. Through Wassermann, Wolfgang Voigt continues to push the boundaries of electronic music, securing his legacy as a pioneer in the genre.
