Rising DJ and composer Wassu (aka Weston Butler) recently appeared on the ‘Winter Selections 05’ EP, which was his official debut on Silk Music. The label welcome back the gifted NYC-based artist, whose immersive atmospheres and driving deep-progressive rhythms suit the dancefloor and introspective moments of reflection alike. His latest offering, the enchanting “Lost” EP, finds Wassu in his compositional sweet spot, as all three cuts offer deliciously deep grooves and are imbued with poignantly wistful undertones.
The dreamy ‘Ben & Caroline’ epitomizes the affectingly nostalgic quality of Wassu’s music. This stirring composition rests upon enchanting vocal textures and evolving string patterns that ebb and flow throughout the mix. Progressing slowly, every sonic element is added with the utmost fluidity. The breakdown gives all the components a chance to breathe, as the washed-out textures open up and sparkle like flashes of an especially heartwarming memory of a past friendship or romance. The climax of the arrangement features a fluttering arpeggio that celebrates the resiliency of the human spirit. You can listen to the full premiere of ‘Ben & Caroline’ exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!
