Plustwo – Melody
We heard this tune during a recent trip to Berlin at about 10am in Greissmuehle. It’s no exaggeration that we then went back to our AirBnb and played this tune about 30 times. It’s so cheesy that it’s kind of annoying but in a loveable way – its got this uplifting quality that means its perfect for when the troops are struggling through the early hours. Hold tight the chipmunk sneeze before the main hook comes in – love that bit.
Voilaaa feat sir jean – Spies Are Watching Me
One of the best Shazams that I’ve taken recently from Peggy Gou’s set at Secret Garden Party. Such great songwriting and perfect vibes for the afters.

Toumani Diabate – Elyne Road
I have a special affinity for this tune because its named after the road that Toumani lived on in North London which is near my house and I frequently walk down – which is why it reminds me of home. We’ve tried many times to sample this tune but it’s never felt right. There is no natural extension on the original beauty of the track.
Burial – Etched Headplate
For me this is the epitome of after party tunes – one of my earliest memories of sitting round at a mates house after a night out is soundtracked by this tune. It cringes me out now but i remember how excited we got in our wasted states when we realised that all the drums were made out of lighter sounds. lol
Kings of Convenience – Peacetime Resistance.
This tune means a lot to both of us. Law brought this CD when we travelled around Asia together on our year out from school and we rinsed it. We recently saw them perform live and Louis sacrificed getting a parking ticket so we were able to buy the tickets before they sold out.
Alix Perez feat Peven Everett
When we were younger, dnb was the sole music we listened to and dj’d. This tune represents that moment in time and still makes us wanna go to a shogun rave at Cable on each and every listen whilst is also as enjoyable when listening at home.
Tommy Mcgee – Now That I Have You
Recently heard this tune in the Brilliant Corners tent at Farr Festival and it’s been on the house loads since. The horn line that plays over the chorus is lovely stuff.
Fit Seigel – Carmine
One of those tunes you wished you’d made yourself. There something so hypnotic about the combination of the pad and the lead line that runs throughout – it properly gets you into the zone when you’re trying to smash out some emails.
Leon Vynehall – Inside the Deku Tree
The whole of the album that this track is on is one of our favourites. I hadn’t listened to it in a few years but I recently heard it at Worldwide festival as Gilles Peterson closed the festival. It was a special moment.
Bombay Bicycle Club – Come To
Arguably each of ours favourite band. So many tracks to choose from but this is one of the best from their final record before they broke up.
Their new EP ‘Alexandra’ is out now. Listen to single ‘Tapestry’
London based electronic duo Wayward return with their ‘Alexandra EP’ on Silver Bear Recordings, featuring two new tracks ‘Alexandra’ and ‘Tapestry’, including remixes from Man Power and Hammer. A continuation of their recently acclaimed EP ‘Orissa’ released in April, the duo introduce new analogue driven sounds and draw inspiration from their experiences and travels in the summer of 2016. “After playing ‘Alexandra’ at our shows over the last 6 months, it’s been a highlight in our sets and it felt like the right follow up to the Orissa EP,” they explain.
The duo go on to detail the EP: “‘Alexandra’ came about through a Friday night fork in a road, to go to out partying or stay in the studio. The urge to make a tune was stronger in the end and we ended up producing ‘Alexandra’ that night. To our friend Alex – sorry we didn’t make it to your party but we named a track after you instead. ‘Tapestry’ was the first track we made on the DSI Tempest, which we recently purchased. It took about 4 hours to make and then it sat inside the machine for a good few months. Something about the rawness of the drums and the naivety of the sounds that comes from not really knowing how to use the machine properly yet brought a unique vibe to the track. To have Man Power on the remix is very special for us. After witnessing his performance first hand at panorama bar we both became fans instantly, its great to have him involved and for him to do such a sterling job!”
The previous EP ‘Orissa’ marked a triumphant return for Wayward with XLR8R describing it as a “textured production with well-chosen vocal chops and chunky, rolling beats”.
Wayward have had a multitude of coverage including Pitchfork, Mixmag and Noisey. They’ve clocked up over 6 million streams online being supported on the airwaves by the likes of Annie Mac, Gilles Peterson, Monki, Moxie and Rob da Bank. This success has transcended onto the road with tour support highlights including Carl Cox, Marco Corola, Gaslamp Killer and Maribou State with festival appearances from Glastonbury to SXSW via Space Ibiza and Fabric Room 1. Recent remixes include Toothless & Alice Jemima.
