Anjunadeep is proud to announce that Jody
Wisternoff, a true pioneer of dance music, is set to release his debut solo
artist album, titled Trails We Blaze on Monday,
May 28th. Catch a preview of the album now in this
exclusive "Trails We Blaze" Mini-Mix. Fans may also pre-order
an autographed CD (limited supply).
Wisternoff rose to prominence within the electronic music
scene over 15 years ago, when his famed Way Out West duo,
alongside the also-legendary Nick Warren, began to dominate the EDM world.
Tracks like “The Gift,” “Ajare,” “Mindcircus,” and “Killa” all established
their world-class reputation, while numerous high profile remixes (Orbital,
Inner City, Sasha) solidified their reputation as preeminent studio masters.
The duo has also performed around the world, including a 5 piece live act in
support of 2004’s Don’t Look Now album, and a huge tour
alongside Faithless.
Even before his Way Out West fame, at the age of 13, a
precocious Wisternoff made it to the finals of the DMC DJ Championships and was
producing hip-hop soon after. Three years later, he was controlling the
5,000-strong crowd as a DJ at the famous 90s rave Universe, before helping to
pioneer the early UK rave sound as part of West Country breakbeat outfit Sub
Love (with Full Cycle’s DJ Die, later a member of Roni Size’s Reprazent crew).
The diversity of his past experiences combine to create his
long-awaited solo artist album Trails We Blaze. Blending
elements of house, nu disco, progressive, techno and bass, the album condenses
Jody’s personal journey through music into 12 diverse electronic grooves,
referencing his classic and contemporary musical loves.
Representing Jody’s modern take on Balearic grooves, tracks
like the “How You Make Me Smile” (feat. Pete Josef) and the nu-disco influenced
“Just One More” are both soulful and sophisticated, perfect for balmy summer
nights.
The album isn't without its darker shades though. Harking
back to his years lost in Bristol bass bins, the hypnotic techno groover “95”
and the hip-hop indebted “Red Stripes” both reference Jody's love of vintage
jungle, while reworks of the Pete Tong-endorsed “Starstrings’ and the Beatport
# 1 “Cold Drink, Hot Girl” update two of his most classic solo tracks.
Also available this month, remixes of "How You Make Me
Smile" by Vincenzo (Dessous) and Celsius. These represent the diversity of
Anjunadeep, as the label continues to push itself into the deeper and more
varied sides of house music.
