Rest in Power Dexter Wansel
Blacktronika and ArtPhilly send strength, love, and heartfelt condolences to the family of Dexter Wansel during this time.
Grammy Award Winning producer, Dexter Wansel was one of the most important composers and electronic music innovators in modern music, particularly within Black musical traditions. Joining Philadelphia International Records in 1973 as a keyboardist, he became one of the labelโs key creative forces, introducing synthesizers such as the ARP 2600, EMS VCS3, and Oberheim Six Voice into its recordings and sonic vocabulary.
His 1976 masterpiece, Life on Mars, remains one of the most groundbreaking and visionary works in the Philadelphia International catalog. Expansive in scope and fearless in imagination, the album opened new possibilities for listeners, merging futurism, spirituality, and electronic experimentation in ways that continue to resonate today. As a composer, Wansel helped shape some of the labelโs most enduring recordings, working with artists ranging from Lou Rawls to The Jones Girls, including the timeless classic โNights Over Egypt.โ
His legacy has been expanded by everyone from Rick Ross to Cole to Mobb Deep through sampling.
For the past several months, we had been planning to honor Mr. Wansel with the inaugural Blacktronika Icon Award and a special performance celebrating his extraordinary contributions. The event on June 24 will now serve as a celebration of his life, creativity, and love.
He was our hero, mentor, and guiding light. He now joins the ancestors, leaving behind a body of work that will continue to inspire generations to come.
See you in the cosmos, Mr. Wansel.
