Party Wolfe
Party Wolfe is A.J. Vincent’s (…And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead, ex-The Bright Light Social Hour, ex-Scorpion Child) electronic music. Born from a love of EDM, dancing, and rock and roll, Party Wolfe is all original dance music that really sets itself apart from the common threads of EDM. A hybrid of Justice, Daft Punk, Com Truise with some solos and harmonies thrown in, Party Wolfe is a genre-less EDM sound that is ripe to be discovered.

Born and raised in Austin, I’m 34, and I’ve been playing music for 29 years.
3) Has the city of Austin had any influence in the style or direction of your music?

Playing EDM to nobody at a rock venue on tour.
9) Is there anything you’d care to share or anything else you’d like to let us know about?
Party Wolfe sounds nothing like standard EDM flavors.
10) Give us one fun fact.
If you spike the resonant knob on a low pass filter and pass the filter frequency throughout all the potential frequencies, you can pick out specific harmonics in the waveform that start creating diads between notes inside of one synth tone. It’s rad.
