All Werked Up EP

To launch Well Rounded’s new unrestricted by genre Individuals sub-label, we have Texas-raised wonderkid Wheez-ie’s first full outing on vinyl. Discovered by Donga via Soundcloud, his impressive range of ideas within the Juke style was enough to persuade us we had to get involved. This EP is packed full of character and variety – each track coming from a different angle - as we attempt to describe below! A1. We ease you in to the ep with the relatively slow (@ 145bpm!) ‘Bak It In’, a drum programming tour-de-force. Crunching claps, cavernous kicks and tuned toms all contribute to the excitement. This jackin’ track can sit confidently between Poindexter, Assault and Addison Groove in our opinion - a DJs delight. A2. ‘Leave Her Alone’ really asserts Wheez-ie’s unique expressiveness within Juke. With haunting strings and bell-like melody line recalling Ennio Morricone’s classic film scores underpinned by an assertive 808 kick drum b-line, this is a fresh combination that imbues Juke with serious soul and depth in a way we have yet to hear elsewhere. PLEASE GIVE THIS YOUR ATTENTION!!!!!
