Woz – Breathe EP – (Black Butter Records)

Dancing … dancing … dancing … Janet Jackson’s ‘What have You Done For Me Lately’ has to have been inspiration – at last in part – for ‘Breathe’ since the ‘dancing till I thought I’d lose my breath’ lyric is surely or subconsciously finagled from there.  That’s the only similarity to it though since the track itself is a petulant, genre-defying thumpathon complete with snaking, retractable bassline, skittering snares, dark reverb and gripping parts. It’s heads down for the collars up, depth charged, inky blue-black bass house of ‘Cold’.  It’s enough to make you want to put on a wetsuit, snorkel, tank and flippers and go out raving in a cage. Just watch out for those circling, Hoxton fins. Bubbling.

3.5/5
