John Wells, a revered figure in the Bristol rave scene, has long been hailed as a local hero, delivering electrifying sets blending Jungle, Acid, and Hardcore with an unparalleled energy. However, in his latest musical venture, he offers a fresh perspective on his journey. While maintaining his trademark robust production, John shifts his focus towards melancholic yet playful melodies, super-funky basslines, and peculiar alien sounds, steering away from the gabber kicks and amen breakbeats.
Having previously released two albums, "Talkin' Macheens" and "Antisocial," on the esteemed Concrete Collage label, along with a string of self-released analogue braindance albums, John's arrival on our roster is met with nothing but excitement. In this album, John retains the quintessential elements synonymous with his Anorak sound – microscopic acid synths, meticulously crafted samples, and of course intense drumcraft. He intricately weaves these elements into a tightly structured musical framework. To cap off the experience, the album features two remixes by Mozyk veterans Daed and Umio, adding even further dimensions to John's sonic narrative. released March 1, 2024 John Wells - programming and mastering Sorin Paun - artwork Umio Miyazaki / Umio Ian Lambert / Daed |
