Landing 10 years after his first concept album, Wehbba’s drops his debut full-length on Drumcode, featuring collaborations with David Caretta, Thomas Gandey and Brazilian vocalist L-cio.

Following a series of globally adored EPs and inclusions within the imprint’s esteemed A-Sides compilation series, the chart-dominating São Paulo native now reflects upon his life as ‘the artist’, offering an immersive montage of stories that echo a tenacious dedication to his craft. Enlisting the talents of multi-instrumentalist Thomas Gandey, Electroclash pioneer David Carretta and fellow Brazilian L-cio, with his unparalleled flute mastery, Wehbba’s synergetic cuts span the breadth of electronic music’s sonic landscape, as he challenges the notion of genres with seasoned voices.

Birthed from the purest inspiration, the album’s 13 cuts represent a myriad of musical references close to Wehbba’s heart, running parallel with the organic sensibilities of his field recordings. An ode to eternal growth, the LP highlights a cycle of perception and projection, as Wehbba studies the morphing of genres through his own musical filter. Discussing the upcoming album, Wehbba commented:

"The musical references on these works trace back to the 90s, when I started listening to electronic music and had no judgement of what was cool - when I was totally free. So they represent, without any filter, what touched me, ranging from braindance to goa trance, from ambient to hard house, and from drum n’ bass through every single mutation of techno and house music."

As a key ambassador for Brazil’s dance music community on a global scale, Wehbba’s long-standing career has seen him affiliate with many of the industry greats on both remix and collaborative projects; testament to his flourishing reputation. Following on from the geometric-led titles of his first two albums, Straight Lines and Sharp Corners alludes to the difficult decisions and blunt shifts he has faced in his career, and their capacity to shape his identity over time. Studying the great Antoni Gaudi, Wehbba’s third LP title takes reference from his perceptive quote: "There are no straight lines or sharp corners in nature, therefore buildings must have no straight lines or sharp corners. Anything created by human beings is already in the great book of nature."

I am drawn to electronic music not as a genre, but as a space.
A space where rhythm slows down enough to reveal silence, and silence carries as much weight as sound itself.

My listening moves between cinematic electronics, melodic techno and neoclassical minimalism. I’m interested in music that builds tension patiently, through repetition, restraint and subtle emotional shifts rather than excess or immediacy. Music that unfolds over time, allowing atmosphere, memory and inner movement to surface naturally.

Film scores, modern classical composers and emotionally driven electronic artists shape the way I listen. Cinematic textures, minimal piano motifs, evolving synth lines and deep, steady rhythms form a landscape where focus and introspection coexist with physical presence. This is not music designed only for the club or only for solitude, but for the fragile space in between.

I’m particularly drawn to works that respect silence as an active element. To pieces that leave room for breath, ambiguity and unfinished thoughts. Music that doesn’t demand attention, but rewards it. Listening becomes a slow process of noticing: texture, pulse, harmonic tension, emotional undercurrents that appear quietly rather than announce themselves.

At this stage, my relationship with music is primarily one of deep listening and inspiration. Collecting moods, atmospheres and emotional states rather than moments or trends. Paying attention to how sound interacts with memory, the body and time. Observing how restraint often communicates more than complexity, and how repetition can become a form of meditation.

This space remains intentionally open. Listening comes before creating. Inspiration before output. Allowing influences to settle naturally, without forcing form or direction. When sound eventually becomes expression, it will emerge from this place of patience, focus and accumulated tension.

For now, this profile serves as a quiet map of sensibilities rather than a declaration of authorship. An archive of influences, an ongoing process of attention. A place where rhythm meets silence, and where listening itself is the practice.
