DESCRIPTION:
wAFF makes a triumphant return to Hot Creations after a seven-year hiatus with his three-track, groove-driven ‘Slapfunk EP’.
Since his first outing back in 2012, wAFF has been an integral part of the Hot Creations family, remixing various releases and dropping a total of four EPs - the last being ‘Sick Pleasure’ in 2016, which still stands today as a highlight in the label’s extensive catalogue. Marking a long-awaited return to Jamie Jones and Lee Foss’ beloved imprint after seven years, with material via renowned labels such as Solid Grooves, Cocoon, Desolat and his very own NATURE imprint over that period further establishing him as a leading name, he arrives fresh from his third Paradise show of the season ready to ignite dancefloors with a trio of irresistible beats on ‘Slapfunk’.
Title track ‘Slapfunk’ opens the release with shifting stabs, warping bass patterns and fizzing lead synths, steadily progressing into a menacing club-focused workout. Continuing his signature style, ‘Questions’ showcases a blend of pulsating beats synchronised with a warped vocal topline that enhances the allure. Finally, ‘Next Game’ delivers a punchy trip loaded with subtle minimal-leaning influences, combining chopped vocal snippets with slick, stripped-back percussion.

wAFF’s time in the limelight finally came in 2012. Throughout an unfathomable year, in which he released his first four track EP on Jamie Jones and Lee Foss’ world renowned label Hot Creations, heads have been turned in all corners of the globe toward one of the most exciting new talents around today. His now legendary track, ‘Jo Johnson’, held it’s own in the record bags and DJ charts of everyone from Sven Väth and Loco Dice to Cajmere and Groove Armada and closed some of the most memorable nights of the Ibizan summer. Being voted the number two track of the year by DJmag sealed the deal towards the latter end of 2012 and his fans and DJ peers now wait with bated breath for his next move.
After his hugely successful and much talked about September debut show at DC10 for Hot Creations’ ‘Paradise’ party, his DJ diary has been filling up at incredible speed. As dates line up across multiple continents in 2013, it’s looking ever more likely that next year will see wAFF truly make his mark within the global electronic music community.
With his second Hot Creations EP nearing release and a vast number of exceptional tracks waiting in the wings for the future, wAFF’s excitement, dedication and work ethic are now beyond scale. Much loved and admired by his friends, it can be vouched that wAFF will not only bring his talent and sweat-inducing musical collection to the world but also his warmth, his spirit and his bare bones love of the scene he has committed himself to for so many years.
