Emerging from the London underground in 2012, W&O Street Tracks is more than just a record label – it's a pulsating hub for the city's vibrant house and techno scene. Founded by Waze & Odyssey, the dynamic duo poured their passion for groove-laden beats into a platform that championed their own productions alongside a diverse roster of rising talents.
Beyond their own productions, Waze & Odyssey have become tastemakers with an ear for spotting hidden gems. Their roster boasts an impressive array of artists, from the soulful melodies of Sage Caswell to the driving techno of Ejeca. Citizenn's deep house explorations and XXXY's genre-bending basslines add further flavour to the label's diverse sonic tapestry. Rising talents like Lancelot and Kill Frenzy find their home alongside established figures like Ejeca, proving W&O Street Tracks' commitment to both nurturing new voices and celebrating seasoned veterans.
With each release, W&O Street Tracks carves its own path, pushing the boundaries of house and techno while staying true to its underground roots.
Review: Five label debutants, most previously unheard newcomers, get their chance to shine on the 17th instalment of W&O Street Tracks' 'Imprint' series of compilation style EPs. K&K kicks thing off in fine fashion via the excitable, warehouse-ready madness of 'Blow', where deeply pshcyedelic acid lines and fizzing, rave-style stabs dance atop a sweaty and jacking drum track, before ELZCAZE opts for a more intergalactic sounding slab of '90s nostalgia on 'Xstacy'. ProOne 79 recalls the sleazier, darker end of late '80s hip-house on the sleazy and acidic 'Spicy (Vocal Mix)', while Sopp's 'Make Me Feel (Don't Hurt Me)' is a stomping slab of piano-driven rave revivalism and Ollie Red's 'My Love Appears' is a rubbery, tech-tinged peak-time delight.
