WuLi Records
Chicagoan Louis Svitek has played in Chicago’s most popular rock bands Zeotrope, Lost
Cause, and Mayhem Inc. (While opening for Anthrax, Mayhem Inc. almost burned the stage
down at Chicago club The Cabaret Metro and the band was subsequently banned from playing in
the Chicago-land area forever).
A short time later, Svitek was asked to join Chicago thrashers Zeotrope and hit the road
where he met front-man Billy Milano who asked Svitek to join the confrontational band M.O.D.
He made his way to the East coast recording two albums with the band. He and bass player John
Monte went on to form the band Mindfunk. Mindfunk’s first album was one of the top three
guitar albums recorded in 1991 (Guitar World Magazine), and went on to record Dropped and
People who Fell from the Sky.
While still with Mindfunk, Svitek was sought out by Al Jourgensen, founder and front-man
of the influential band Ministry and went on to record and tour with them. While playing with
Ministry he was asked to appear with Pigface, Sister Machine Gun, and movie soundtracks such
as The Matrix. While on tour with Ministry, Svitek met The Redd and they landed two songs in
the movie Blue Hill Ave (featuring Allen Payne) that has since become an Urban Underground
Cult Classic.
Svitek went on to produce, mix and contribute performances for The Redd’s eclectic 2006
release Only Out for Destiny at Sviteknology Studios. In 2003, Svitek discovered the 2010
American Idol Winner, Lee DeWyze, and began pre-production on some of Lee’s Song’s and
would go on to sign Lee to WuLi Records.
Looking for a new creative outlet that would allow him to work across several genres of
music, guitarist/composer Louis Svitek, started producing music and founded Chicago-based
WuLi Records.
In 2006, Svitek partnered with drummer/composer/producer Ryan McGuire (O’Ryan
Productions). Their combined talents produce music that maintains imaginative freedom for the
artist and potent market appeal.
Their partnership with Fontana Distribution/Universal Music Group brings the full
power of their distribution channels, media access and social networking to bear on WuLi’s
endeavors. Today, WuLi records is inundated with requests from artists (both unknown and
popular) to produce and collaborate their music. They are carefully (and enthusiastically)
reviewing the artists and have begun signing new acts to the label.
WuLi records opened the door for the next genre of Rap/Hip Hop music with The Redd
“Only Out For Destiny applying Redd’s vision and his own personal story. WuLi and Redd know
the time has come for this genre to start a new dialogue and innovative musical styles. The Redd
has shared the stage with hip-hop legends Ice Cube and Twista, and was featured by Raw TV, a
local show with over 3 million viewers, featuring the best in Chicago hip-hop.
American Idol winner, Lee DeWyze, was discovered by Louis Svitek and signed to WuLi
Records resulting in 2 released albums (with more to follow) getting airplay on Chicago’s “goldstandard” rock station WXRT (93.1 FM). Lee’s fans continue to follow WuLi Records and
frequently demand his performance of tracks from the WuLi releases even while he tours his RCA
releases. WuLi will be releasing several more singles by Lee over the next year and indicators are
they can out-perform his “major label” releases.
