Music has always been a part of the life of Arran. With his Mother being heavily involved in the late 80s/Early 90s Rave Scene,  and his Grandparents being involved in local church bands and gospel bands. You could say it was in his DNA that he would get stuck into the music scene at some point in his life!

From a young age Arran showed a natural talent for music, and after picking the cello at school and self teaching himself the guitar. This lead to the formation of various Rock/Metal bands. As well as being influenced by his mothers love of rave music, Acid House and more recently Soul, Funk and Jazz. 

In 2008 Arran discovered the genre of Dubstep, and was taken in by the broad spectrum of music that sits under the Dubstep label, from the 2 step garage vibes coming out of croydon, the deep dub influenced sounds being put forward by DMZ and Skream, all the way to the space-aged influenced stuff coming from across the the atlantic. It was something about Dubstep that made Arran feel at home.  

Fast forward too today and Wakaba is now bringing an eclectic mix of UK Bass music, anywhere around 130bpm - 170bpm, But his heart lies with the deep, dark, bass driven Dubstep with roots and dub influences. Whether it be on vinyl or CDJ, Wakaba aims to create a vibe in the room and also tell a story with his mixing, whilst showing off snippets of all the genres that have inspired, influenced and moulded that young boy who started playing cello in primary school into the Wakaba of today.

Listening for rhythm.
Observing for curiosity.
I like to skank on jungle, meditate with roots dub riddims and my childhood has been around olskool hiphop.
Sometimes i drift to jazz and sometimes i feel blue and listen old blues.
