Review: Two years on from the release of their fine - if slightly overlooked - debut album on Comedy Dynamics, Reggie Watts and John Tejada once again join forces as Wajatta, this time on Fly-Lo's Brainfeeder imprint. Predictably they've once again hit the spot, confidently combining deep house musicality, the far-sighted synthesizer motifs of sci-fi techno, African style percussion, dewy-eyed and often soulful vocals, and occasional forays into drowsy downtempo beats and fizzing electro rhythms. The results are naturally impressive, offering an imaginative and colourful sound palette befitting of both men's talents. Highlights include the sparse electronic soul of "Depth Has a Focus", the body-popping beats and low-end weight of "Little Man" and the futuristic soulful house brilliance of "Tonight".
