Bruce Haack was a visionary electronic music pioneer whose work spanned psychedelic synth experiments, children’s educational records, and concept albums blending technology and spirituality. Known for building his own instruments—including early vocoders and analog synthesizers—he created futuristic music decades ahead of its time. Originally from Canada and based in the U.S., Haack released records from the 1960s through the 1980s that continue to influence electronic, experimental, and hip hop artists today. His groundbreaking 1970 album The Electric Lucifer and other releases have since been reissued and reinterpreted, solidifying his legacy as one of electronic music’s most eccentric and imaginative figures.

This record is a forward-thinking tribute to electronic pioneer Bruce Haack, Bruce Haack Remixes reimagines his boundary-pushing catalog through the lens of modern experimental beatmakers. Released by Stones Throw in 2012, this collection features an all-star lineup of label affiliates and underground producers—including Peanut Butter Wolf, Samiyam, Jonwayne, James Pants, Jonti, and The Stepkids—each offering a warped, groove-heavy reinterpretation of Haack’s original recordings. The result is a heady fusion of trip-hop, broken-beat, and leftfield electronics that celebrates Haack’s enduring legacy while pushing his sound further into the future.
