Digital Release - Nov 26th 2009

A1) Candle Groove

B1) Hip Op

B2) All Those Beats



This is the 3rd WBEEZA ep on Third Ear Recordings, following the Heavy Stuff ep (3EEP-096) and the New Skank ep (3EEP-100), and shows the young Londoner beginning to stretch out and further show his writing and production skills.

A1 Candle Groove. A repeating keyboard figure is the only constant in this spectacular freebop workout. Played live and recorded on the fly in one take with no editing, the track is a whirlwind of muscular, sinuous beats held in a constant tension. There is a breakdown, but the respite is momentary before the arrangement is marshalled by the young producer to carry everyone, once again, up and away on the groove.

A2 A116. Named after the warehouse unit that is home to Wbeezas studio, A116 is a dj weapon and designed as such. The structure of the track serves its singular purpose: a roller coaster of a ride around the dancefloor, but with one difference; the end is not a sedate roll into the finish in order to step off the roller coaster.

B1 Hip Op. In contrast to the live, improvised techniques of Candle Groove, Hip Op is an exercise in maximising the vibe and energy contained in a just two loops. Very different performing and arranging techniques, same result: killer track.

B2 All Those Beats. Following the arrangement of the tracks on the previous 2 Wbeeza eps, the final cut, All Those Beats is more of a song than the other cuts on the ep. And once again it is a song grounded in the London of today. With a vocal he coaxed out of his cousin Damian, Wbeeza guilds a stepping House groove with anthemic synth lines and castanets to create a celebrational, inclusive statement of Our music and its internationality.
