‘It’s all so confusing’
Wafa vs Wolfie sounds like a serious dogfight, but in fact it’s a collaboration between London’s Wafa (Grizzly) and Sydney’s Wolfie (Sweat It Out). Four-legged entertainment on a global scale.
Don’t lose track. Even I always thought ‘Tom Tom’ was a portable GPS system, but in fact it’s nothing less than a killer tune. About its musical nature, I better call it unique before getting all skitzoed out ‘immediate mental institution visit necessary’-style by trying to categorize it.
You might know Arcade from Tron or as the place you go when your girlfriend doesn’t feel like having sex. This Arcade (Squelch And Clap) seems to be different. It stands for an Argentinian from London fusing Chicago with UK funky. Only similarity might be that it’s as good as sex. His remix is.
Riton (Phantasy Sound) is a busy cat. Once ‘Killing an Abarb’ then finding ‘The Hammer of Thor’ now he plays the Carte Blanche from time to time and just started up his own label to release no less then a Riton double-A single per month. Glad he still found the time to translate one of his feverish ghetto soul dreams into a ‘Tom Tom’ rerub.
Slap In The Bass is a stupid name for a band you might think, but you’re wrong. Their productions lead the way. Admittedly more often straight the floor then to the next mercury prize as you can hear on their rework of ‘Tom Tom’. But wait for their next EP. I smell a grammie.
And how sick is it naming your tune ‘Junk Kat’ if you’re Wafa vs Wolfie. Or is it animal instinct?
