More Bounce To The Ounce EP - DJ W!LD (inc. Arapu Remix) More

The much-celebrated Parisian DJ W!LD has been enjoying a fine time of it lately. Gig-wise, he threw it down recently at SXM alongside the likes of Ricardo Villalobos and Zip, while he even stopped by in Mixmag NYC LAB back in February also. From a release perspective, the ever-consistent producer has put out acclaimed works on the likes of Snork Enterprises, as well as fledgling French label, Emperical Magnetism for whom he returns to here with exactly the sort of panache we've come to expect.
The club-ready three tracker, entitled "Kindergarten (Part 2)", sees W!LD reprise the kindergarten theme of 2018, which came into effect on his debut for the French label. Part 2 kicks off with "Indigo Girl", a tough, tech-tinged workout that sees W!LD delve into his ever-expanding arsenal of killer samples. A track that's sure to light up any dancefloor, it's full of the sort of charm that the producer has built a career on over the years.
The other track on the A-side is "Jumatate de Viata". Spread over the course of almost 8 minutes, this adventurous sounding cut is full of drama and suspense, with its groove-heavy approach again indicative of the producer's knack for churning out blissful, peak-time suitable bombs. The B-side is comprised solely of one track, "Left Hander", but it's also one that's worth its weight in gold. A track that's very clearly indebted to W!LD's great appreciation for all things hip-hop, it's the sound of a producer taking a chance and being greatly rewarded for doing so.
If you're after something a bit different this weather, W!LD's latest is without doubt sure to make an impression. More

Empirical Magnetism (EM) is glad to welcome Paris-based DJ and producer DJ W!LD on the occasion of the 3rd release of the label. With Kindergarten (Part 1), DJ W!LD shows his hand: Part 1 is only the beginning.
This first EP unveils three dancefloor-driven tracks, all in what W!LD's does best: a straightforward and uncompromising tech-house music - as can be heard on the A-side in "Genius" (A1) and "Control Us" (A2) - brought to life with soulful voice samplings.
On the B-side, "La Petite Porte" (B) reveals stronger and more commanding beats becoming milder around the end of the track thanks to W!LD's taste for harmonious samples.
Thought of as an expert in sampling, DJ W!LD is one of the figureheads of Paris' underground electronic scene. He launched the labels Catwash, The W Label, and, not long ago, Dailycid, eponym name of the party series he sometimes throws. More

The relentless work ethic of DJ W!LD shows no sign of slowing down with another amazing EP, this time through his own imprint The W Label, that unleashes four new tracks plus a dubbed out remix. In contrast to his recent output on other labels the five tracks sit firmly in the ‘DJ Tools’ category with stripped back arrangements, raw-to-the-bone underground house grooves and drums showcasing all that is good about the Parisian’s highly in-demand DJ sets. Head-nodding tribal infused percussion is the main theme with tracks ‘Blind’ and ‘Miami Bitch’ setting the scene with a brass breakdown in the latter that is sure to send shivers down spines. ‘Narco’ switches things up with its core element focused around a shoulder shaking bass organ straight out of the 90’s. ‘On Board’ gets and original and re-worked Dub outing with hypnotic congas and a vocal that loops inside the mind.

DJ W!LD is back, this time on Crosstown offshoot Rebellion with a stomping summer anthem featuring Cari Golden on vocals ‘Shape U’. The original fuses the solid punch of a club weapon with the laidback feel of poolside disco, while the Fur Coat Remake gives the track an entirely different sheen all chugging disco bass-line, dark synths and pitched down vocals. An aptly named WILDER remix and dub from the producer ties up an unmissable EP. The prolific DJ W!LD is one of France’s longest serving underground house heroes. As part of the Cocoon family and as a Circo Loco resident, DJ W!LD under various aliases has released on labels such as OFF Recordings, Robsoul, and his own imprints Catwash Records and W including debut album ‘Palace’ in 2011. Second album ‘D!RTY’ landed on Cabin Fever last year. Originally from Dijon, W!LD’s passion for graffiti, street culture, disco, funk and hip hop led him into DJing, taking his name from cult 1983 film Wild Style. Relocating to Paris in 1996, DJ W!LD was instrumental in the French house scene, pouring his energies into the city’s underground club community and later becoming a globally successful artist and fixture at the best international clubs and festivals. Fur Coat have been blazing a trail since their mighty debut album in 2012 on Crosstown Rebels ‘Mind Over Matter’ also featuring Cari Golden on vocals on the massive hit ‘You And I’. The fast-rising Venezuelan duo have been remixed by TEED and have a single forthcoming on Crosstown.

Hot on the heels of his ‘ weet & picy EP’ on The W Label, DJ W!LD now unleashes Rainbow in my pocket EP. The four tracks see W!LD at his most underground and dirty; it’s 3am music for when the freaks come out. Lead cut ‘Rainbow In My Pocket’ has a title which belies the deep, dark and thumping nature of the track, perfectly at home on the darkest, sweatiest dancefloors. ‘Beats 2’ is a DJ’s dream tool - scattered percussion and a “jack me till I start to scream” vocal loop relentlessly. On the B side, ‘Tokyo 9am’ has an impossibly deep bassline, energetic jacking beats and a vocal sample you may just recognise, while ‘Murder City’ is classic W!LD, featuring another intoxicating jacking beat and excursions into floaty breakouts. Another must have EP from a man at the very top of his game. With a flying start to 2013 and more to come for B*Pitch Control, Rebellion (Crosstown Rebels), Rekids and Robsoul, the launch of his own DJ Bag, worldwide tours with Cocoon and Circoloco and a return to DC10, it’s already turning into another suitably wild year for the Parisian.

DJ W!LD’s ‘Sweet & Spicy EP’ is the 10th release on the Parisian’s own imprint ‘The W Label’ and see’s W!LD continue the fine form that has seen him reach the #8 spot in Resident Advisor’s ‘Most Charted Artists of 2012’. W!LD’s unique style of strippedto- the-bone crunching beats, probing basslines and almost impossibly long, captivating breakdowns have seen him grace labels including Cabin Fever/Rekids (who released his album ‘D!RTY’), One Records, Act Natural, Snork Enterprises, Robsoul and Catwash amongst many others in the past 12 months. The ‘Sweet & Spicy EP’ continues in the same vein – all carefully road-tested by W!LD, the focus is on the dancefloor with influences from funk to acid all underpinned by those strong relentless grooves. A stalwart of the tech and deep house scene, DJ W!LD’s career path began in the clubs of Paris in 1996. Working with Chris Carrier from 2005 under the name of Catwash (which also spawned the label) he became well known in the French house and techno scene. By 2009 he was touring the world, represented by the legendary Cocoon agency and playing their worldwide events, as well as landing a residency he retains for Circo Loco at DC-10 in Ibiza and becoming a regular feature on their international tours. The W Label launched in 2011 and was home to W!LD’s critically acclaimed ‘Palace’ album and the club destroying singles it contained. The label is a place for W!LD’s own productions, alongside that of his friends, allowing them reflect on experiences and musical influences. The label motto is “we have W!LD records” and outings by Kerri Chandler, Art Department, Sis, Chris Carrier, Radio Slave, Phil Weeks and W!LD certainly back that up! More

DJ W!LD and Robsoul – the perfect match. Phil Weeks recently spoke in an interview about how there are certain producers he always trusts and gives complete freedom to when he asks them to record an EP for Robsoul - DJ W!LD was one of those he named. On W!LDSYTLE we get four cuts that again showcase the French producer’s trademark style of tracks which build and build, creating dancefloor intensity through their relentless hypnotic grooves, before breaking into expertly chosen sampled breakdowns.With recent outings on Harry Klein, Jonk and Luna Records alongside his own Catwash and his more recently launched The W Label, DJ W!LD is in serious demand right now. A stalwart of the tech and deep house scene, his career path began in the clubs of Paris in 1996. Working with Chris Carrier from 2005 under the name of Catwash (which also spawned the label) he became well known in the French house and techno scene and by 2009 was touring the world, including being offered the residency he retains for Circo Loco at DC10.
