[Digital] Josh T - Whateverrr (VVWI030)

[hhvmk]

Our second release of 2011 is from our old friend Josh T (formerly Josh Tweek) who keen eyed VVWI fans (some of whom might be owls or ospreys) will remember was one of our very first releases. As usual, a young VVWI signing has gone onto great things with no help from us whatsoever and become a substantial artist despite our studied hands-off A&R techniques. Yet again we wallow in our own apathy and go no further than our main source of talent, the unusually fertile city of Leeds.

Two 'E's and an LSD. Leeds. House music mecca of the North and unflinching bastion since day one and never a blip in dedication for over two decades. It's no accident over half our catalogue has some connection with the city that sometimes sleeps.

Josh is co-founder and main resident for the mighty LOUCHE. London and Leeds have both been scenes of fantastic Louche events recently and to hear "whateverrr" is to hear the late night sound of Josh behind the decks doing his traditional final set at Louche when the teen tourists have ****ed off and only the faithful remain. Again, like our recent outing with the last ever Electric Press release, we go downtempo and (whisper it if you dare) somewhat Balearic with this stonking groover.

Josh and Louche has drawn every DJ and Producer of modernity worth mentioning so why not join us, them and some birds of prey for a small round of applause for Josh T and his magic fingers.

Now firmly in the bone idle bosom of the VVWI spamily... Paul Loraine manages to willfully ignore the charts and compass and turn the ship into deeper, wronger waters. As a veteran of our sound Paul knows our single A&R direction by heart: "Make It Weirder". Which we repeat until it is. We don't have to tell Paul anything anymore. Like Sir Alec Guiness as Obi Wan Kenobi we crumple like a dirty brown habit to the floor because... well now he is the master innit. His move to Barcelona obviously agrees with him.

Finally we go to Portugal for newest signing eRi2. No we didn't find him in a crashed X-wing fighter. We purchased him entirely legally from Jawas. In keeping with our policy of launching new talent eRi2 aka Diogo Tenreiro won our remix contest over Xmas and is currently studying at Pointblank College in London, however he is no mere student and is a well established DJ and Producer in Lisbon and we are certain to hear more from him as his remix here will prove. Once we prise off the restraining bolt and wipe his memory.

Leeds, Barcelona and Lisbon, if we knew anything about football we'd insert a gag about it here. But we only do house music, birds of prey and star wars. And some techno now and then.

May some Force be with you! (...but not too much. Consider the fate of Lord Vader for pities sake.)

Thanks for listening. Send us some reactions or we'll be a bit cross.
