DJ W!LD Vinyl & CDs

Review: French house innovator DJ W!ld has roamed through many different stylistic terrains over the years and now finds himself in stripped-back minimal mode for the excellent Trelik. 'The Night Owls' opens up with tight drum loops and off-grid synth daubs that hypnotise while making you move. 'Drunkin' is a kicking cut with well-designed drums enveloped by sub-bass and topped with swirling and smeared chords. 'Fashionistas' is another perfect bit of stripped-back body music with low slung kicks and little else but they are enough to keep you locked. 'Comment On Baise Dans Le Hardcore' closes out with another mix of physical kicks and heady synths.

Review: French house king DJ W!ld has always had a cool vibe to his grooves. They are simple yet hugely effective and always have their own charm. For this one he lands on his own W label and kicks off with 'Never Cry' which brings some hint of UKG bounce to dry drums and blunging bass. It's a killer cut which leads into the bubbly, bouncing, melodic house fun of 'Chestbeat' and then the percussive 2-step brilliance of 'Undead' which is one to get hands down and bodies marching. W!ld's best EP for some time shuts down with the busy snares and trippy out synth sounds of closer ''King Of The Hill' which is another brilliantly physical house cut.
