Wild City #265: Wadjet

Wadjet's mix kicks off with the four-to-the-floor pulse of techno, surrounded by expansive pads and peripheral atonal textures, before breaking into the whirring arpeggios of acid. Usually, these elements accompany introspective, sombre and dark musical journeys. Yet, Wadjet manages to utilise them to create an upbeat and uplifting Wild City mix.

Without losing the mood, the techno pulse moves into funkier mechanical patterns before returning with Breaka's 'Berry Baby Cheeto'. Halfway through, the mood finally turns more onerous as Trejano's 'Just Feel' ushers in a more guttural segment defined by heightened zany sounds and metallic percussion before slowly returning to the light-heartedness with which the mix started.

"A collection of sounds I’ve been digging lately – dub, acid, house, electro and breaks, all meeting somewhere in between. I believe in blending genres and keeping my selection playful, even through the deeper parts of a journey with unexpected twists & turns. The kind where the dancefloor never quite knows what’s coming next." – Wadjet
