Rising up to take his place as king of the underground, DJ W!LD, one of the key residents at Circo Loco, delivers a killer EP for Adult Only that's bursting with raw layers of funk and pure jacking beats and perfectly captures the infectious sound he is renowned for. Title track 'Lost on 14th' evolves from the raw bass beat through chugging percussive grooves and the clipped funk guitar riff. Enter the provocative rhetoric of Kris B, with old school house organ, and the ghetto, freaky vibe is complete. Jamie Jones brings his hot future funk to the b-side remix of 'Lost on 14th' by wrapping the manipulated 'Nasty Girl' vocal around the central moody bassline whilst lending his signature oscillating synths and upping the sex appeal. Launching into a wail of sirens, it's clear that 'Born To Be Black' is about to get rowdy. A true club weapon, its all-encompassing bass and kick drum and firey female voice is enough to wreak havoc on any dancefloor. Gauthier DM goes straight for the jugular with his stomping, techno rework of 'Lost on 14th'. Injecting a good dose of wonked out, booming bass, it's one for the tougher rave heads. Guillaume Duchastel de Montrouge, aka DJ W!LD, is part of the infamous Cocoon agency and the newest resident at Circo Loco in DC10, joining last year alongside names such as Seth Troxler and Jamie Jones. The past 2 years have marked a swift comeback for W!LD, a longtime producer and International DJ that made his mark for being elusive, unpredictable, and truly underground. Heavily involved in hip-hop and graffiti trends and street culture, his DJ W!LD alias is wink to the cult motion picture "Wild style", a portrait of graffiti pioneers to an authentic soundtrack of late 70's hip hop New Yorkers. Born in 1975, his journey into music started in the 80's in French town Dijon, where he was immersed in a world of funk, disco, and groovy beats. In the early 90's, Laurent Garnier appeared on the Dijon scene with his residency at L'Enfer and initiated the first steps of a new rave culture in the hexagon. Deeply touched by this revolution and the music of the godfathers of Detroit techno and Chicago house, W!LD discovered his future musical route. Relocating to Paris in 1996, W!LD was soon playing in the best nightspots; the Palace; the Queen; the Rex and invited to the famous New York club Twilo. After a brief stint living in Brazil, W!ld became one of the leading DJs in the underground gay scene in Europe, providing soundtracks for fashion shows for Thierry Mugler, Christian Lacroix, and Vivienne Westwood. In 2005, Catwash was created, a unique production partnership between W!ld and Chris Carrier and also his first record label. This year he launched a new record label, W, a place for him and his friends to reflect on experiences and musical influences. On this his debut album 'Palace' will appear with remixes scheduled from DJ Sneak, Kerri Chandler, Chris Carrier, Hector Morales, Phil Weeks, Chez Damiezand SIS. Whetting the appetite of his developing fan base ahead of his album out in June, another spiritual home to the French underground brigade, Adult Only, welcomes DJ W!LD to the family. With the artist this on top of his game, W!LD will be a name upon many more more lips before long.
