The Lowdown Hot on the heels of his ‘Sweet & Spicy 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. About DJ W!LD & The W Label 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!
