Waifs & Strays - Deep House Amsterdam Straf_Werk Festival Podcast #010

Waifs & Strays - Just don't Know

Waifs & Strays - Project Javelin (FREE YOUR MIND)

Waifs and strays. No we’re not on about what our grandfather refers to us and are friends as (although he does) we’re of course referring to the former Bristolian house duo now one artist act of the same name.  First emerging from the West Country back in 2010 the last four years had been been kind to the twosome with their brand of bass charged house music winning them fans across the land. 

After announcing their arrival on the big stage with 'Yeah, Yeah' on Leftroom, they further cemented their standing within the scene with their follow up arriving via Jamie Jones' esteemed Hot Creations imprint with the sultry 'Body Shiver' making its way into many of Jones' bass-heavy, groove-laden sets, more importantly his Fabric 59 mix CD. 

Fast forward to 2014 and Amos is now operating as a solo artist under the Waifs & Strays moniker, with Rich taking a sabbatical due to health issues. Going from a two-man working relationship to riding solo can be a tough break for some, but for Amos it's a challenge that he's relishing. Now working alone, he's pushing the project forward with a renewed zeal, dedicating his time and energy to bolstering his production skills with a clear vision of where the project is heading.
As their song said "house is a feeling" and Amos evidenced by his sets and productions this is clearly a message he has taken to heart. As a result Amos has secured appearances at some of the world's best clubs and festivals, with Fabric, DC10 and Glastonbury just a few of our favourite places to house his talents as Waifs & Strays. So with a hotly anticipated performance at London’s Lightbox  for Madtech alongside fellow DT faves Let The Machines Do The Work October 18th we thought the time was right to welcome Waifs & Strays to the podcast series. Enjoy.

The Extended Family Part 2’ is the next taster instalment from Matt Tolfrey’s Leftroom compiled to whet appetites for the emerging talent that is currently nestling in the fringes of the label and ready to enter into the limelight.

First up are Bristol based Amos Nelson and Rich Beanland aka Waifs And Strays. They first pricked the ears of label boss Matt Tolfrey with their debut track ‘3 am’, which ended up featuring in DJ Mag’s essential releases and gaining support from the major players like Luciano and DJ T. Now presenting their long awaited follow-up record ‘Yeah Yeah’ after it initially caused waves at last years Detroit music conference, this house bomb is ready to make its full impact. already described as “The dirtiest house track I have heard in a very long time” by Radio 1’s Heidi, Waifs and Stray’s classic take on the house sound here features chunky grooves, swinging bounce and vocals that make you dance.

Leeds based Laura Jones is one of the North’s foremost rising stars. First unleashing her special brand of stylishly melodic house music with her debut ‘Intentions’ out on Leftroom Limited last year, it spent the summer moving dancefloors at the hands of DJ royalty Sasha, Lee Burridge and Seth Troxler and became a much loved part of DC10’s summer soundtrack. ‘Love In Me’ is the next bomb to drop and has been played religiously by Dan Ghenacia and Dyed Soundorom in recent months. With a definite nod to the past, this deep and funky gem is bathed in sunshine and destined once again to lift the spirits of revellers worldwide.

Hailing from the other side of the pond, Miami groove-maker, DJ and label owner Lazaro Casanova has been rocking the scene since gaining a residency at the infamous 7 year old Revolver party in Miami in 2004. He has since been busy honing his craft as a producer of raw, underground house music. ‘I Got The Feeling’ is a typically groove-led affair with a memorable vocal and playful percs but it’s when the bassline starts to flex its funk-laden stabs that the track
really reaches its zenith. Upon hearing it, Deniz Kurtel requested to remix the track and this will appear on his next full EP out in June.

Completing this diverse package of DJ weapons is Valencia born Julian Perez and ‘Butterfly Conflict’ – a moving techno piece that is fresh and absorbing in it’s pared down elegance. Hushed rhythmic voices and crisp drum patterns make up the rolling, hypnotic groove. Raresh and the Desolat crew have been tearing up the floor with it and have him down as one to watch. Since the label’s first ever release ‘The Extended Family’ Leftroom has been a purveyor of hidden underground talent. ‘Part 2’ is equally as refreshing and a timely introduction to its four newest recruits.
