Wbeeza-Bagwag EP

                  
                  "THIS IS THE HOUSE SOUND OF LONDON" 

Since his first EP dropped in 2008, Peckham's Wbeeza's releases have been bubbling along rather nicely. 'Deep house' as we know it today seemed to co-inside with this young man's emergence. Despite this connection, Wbeeza seems to do things his own way. He first came to my attention (and to many others) for his New Skank EP in 2009 and the bouncy loop of 'He So Crazy'.  Being on Third Ear, it's clear that this man has love for the Detriot house sound and artists who have appeared on the label. This culminated in a visit Stateside in preparation for his album 'Voidin 2010.



His first 12" release of 2011, 'Bagwag EP' is layered in fantastic quality and refreshing variety in equal measure. The opener 'One Solution' hits like a mule from the first beat and the track slowly builds towards some kind of grand statement that entices you in ala Theo Parrish and Carl Craig. The real gem is 'Laying Here' with blissful keys and subtle vocals, it's a shame summer is on the decline with beauties like this coming out.



On the flip 'Coast Spotting' has a spinetingling melody which rises and falls whilst on the closer ''Fallout' is a dreamy dancefloor jam. Keep your eyes peeled on this kid in the future.
