Album Review: Wbeeza – Void (Third Ear Recordings)

By | Published on Wednesday 8 December 2010

Wbeeza

Having shown considerable talent and style on various Detroit-leaning techno/house EPs, Warren Brown, aka Wbeeza (pronounced double-U, beeza), builds on that reputation with this, his debut album.

This record sits sonically against a backdrop of south London grime and dubstep. The skit ‘Beaver Skin’ sums up the soulful nature of the man, but if you want to get into the real highlights you need to head for the old school lush tech of ‘Southern Girl’, the Latin-infused ‘Tru My Veins’, the classy thumper ‘Variations’, which leans towards Dave Angel’s classic techno productions, and the awesome harder tech of ‘Hang On’.

There are no major lows, though many ideas and skits of tracks could have been developed further. Nevertheless, Wbeeza is certainly one to watch. This is a great debut, perhaps even a contender for album of the year. PV
