A1. Bak It In A2. Leave Her Alone AA1. All Werked Up AA2. Whores To launch Well Rounded’s new unrestricted by genre Individuals sub-label, we have Texas-raised wonderkid Wheez-ie’s first full outing on vinyl. Discovered by Donga via Soundcloud, his impressive range of ideas within the Juke style was enough to persuade us we had to get involved. This EP is packed full of character and variety – each track coming from a different angle - as we attempt to describe below! A1. We ease you in to the ep with the relatively slow (@ 145bpm!) ‘Bak It In’, a drum programming tour-de-force. Crunching claps, cavernous kicks and tuned toms all contribute to the excitement. This jackin’ track can sit confidently between Poindexter, Assault and Addison Groove in our opinion - a DJs delight. A2. ‘Leave Her Alone’ really asserts Wheez-ie’s unique expressiveness within Juke. With haunting strings and bell-like melody line recalling Ennio Morricone’s classic film scores underpinned by an assertive 808 kick drum b-line, this is a fresh combination that imbues Juke with serious soul and depth in a way we have yet to hear elsewhere. PLEASE GIVE THIS YOUR ATTENTION!!!!! AA1. ‘All Werked Up’. Imagine rival gangs battling in a car lot / basketball court rumble as soundtracked by Leonard Bernstein in West Side Story. Big orchestral brass stabs accenting the action. Similarly picture an OG episode of Batman – all the ooofs and powwwws in the fight sequences. Then listen to this tune and see if u can hear a relationship. This should really put Jukers through their paces! Genius stuff with a command of programming and arrangement that once again positions Wheez-ie apart from his peers. Take that! AA2. To finish up we got ‘Whores’– looping us back to more straight-ahead bidniz. A no-nonsense dancefloor charge led by unremitting drums, vocal prompts (‘bounce that ass!’) and a cheeky little acid fleck, put simply – this has it, no question.
