exclusive | Elijah Something & Wilba - The Diamond Heist | Fraise Records 

Some collaborations are emails and stems. Others are shared sunsets, late-night studio stares, and morning walks to the beach with loops still humming in your head. Wilba and Elijah Something’s debut dual EP, Clovelly Concoctions, belongs firmly to the latter. Dreamed up and distilled along the Clovelly coastline at the tail end of 2024, the four-track release arrives on Fraise Records - the wax-first imprint helmed by Wilba and his brother Max - as a celebration of transcontinental friendship, studio chemistry, and that ineffable summertime spark only real connection can conjure.

With one foot in the UK’s bubbling underground and the other in the laidback heat of Australia’s east coast, the pair mix sun-licked deep house textures, techy basslines, and rolling grooves with a touch of tongue-in-cheek flair. From festival-facing openers to the kind of early morning selections that keep dancers guessing, Clovelly Concoctions isn’t just a record - it’s a memory in motion. Think sunrise sets, beachside burners, and grooves that feel as good as they function.

At the heart of the EP is “The Diamond Heist”, the first track the duo completed and a bold statement of intent: cheeky, cinematic, and undeniably clubby. Laced with vocal snippets lifted from heist films and powered by hardware grooves, it’s the kind of cut that turns heads without raising its voice - and we’re proud to premiere it exclusively here on Torture the Artist.

We caught up with Wilba as the EP lands to talk about the Clovelly sessions, coastal rituals, club chaos, and how a lost shoe at a Chase & Status gig might’ve started it all.
