Welcome To The Future EP vinyl

UK producer Wodda assembles four speed garage and house hybrids that reflect a slow-burning evolution in his sound. 'Bang to the Beat of This' opens with filtered sirens and detuned chords, cutting into a tough, swung rhythm that leans more peak-time than previous outings. 'I'll Be Careful' switches pace with a more upbeat palette: bright chord stabs, clipped vocal chops and a rolling low-end that nods clearly to early 2000s UKG. On the flip, 'Welcome to the Future' maintains the same rhythmic density but strips back the melodic detail, focusing on percussive drive and stabbing bass pressure. 'Santa Cruz' closes the set on a looser, more playful note i 90s-referencing synth lines sit above swung drums and a rounded, slightly overdriven bassline. The sequencing shows range without stretching too far and the mixdown keeps things functional without feeling raw. A direct and well-balanced outing from a producer who's clearly refining his tools.
