The vibe
As included on the
SLL Soulful Eivissa 2013 Mix I put out earlier this month,
DJ W!LD presents
'Shape U' on
Crosstown Rebels offshoot
Rebellion, a pounding summer anthem featuring an insane break sampled from
The S.O.S. Band's 1984 disco-funk smash 'Just The Way You Like It'. A record as infectious as the original it samples and already garnering the support of big-hitters such as
Pete Tong, I've had it on repeat for a number of weeks since receiving the promo and it's a gem!
Originally hailing from Dijon in France, W!LD is a long-standing underground house hero as both a DJ and producer with a passion for graffiti, street culture, disco, funk and hip-hop. As part of the
Cocoon family and with a residency at
Circo Loco, you may well have already heard him under a number of guises with releases on labels such as
Robsoul.
Sounds like
Much of the French Robsoul output. And The S.O.S. Band, of course. :-)
Serving suggestion
With the original firmly aimed at the discerning house floors, the package also includes a deeper workout from
Fur Coat - more typical of the CR sound for the wee small hours - alongside the aptly named techy 'WILDER' remix and a dub version.
Did you know?
DJ W!LD takes his name from cult 1983 film
