From their love of all things Drum and Bass, WOB! have been translating DnB and Jungle to a live band setting. Stephen (synths) and Djollie (drums) have been keeping Ireland at the forefront of this emerging scene since 2013 with their constantly evolving performances.
“Their truly unique blend of drum ‘n’ bass and electronica impressed the pants off the GoldenPlec crew at festivals including Knockanstockan, Vantastival and Electric Picnic last year. WOB!’s unmissable set is guaranteed to get you dancing.” – GoldenPlec
The five tracks of MOVE! have been carefully selected to bring you from your sitting room to a beach in the Caribbean to 5am in Ibiza, and back home in time for lunch.
The project was crafted through an hybrid approach to music production, experimentally combining the live performance of a band with the techniques of electronic music producers. The band‘s characteristic drum and synth sound is augmented by guest vocalists Sheena Styles (on title track, MOVE!), Floor Staff’s Anthony Donnelly (on Cosmos), as well as live guitar wizardry from Paul O‘ Hare.
All of this raw material was then produced by the band with the help of mixing engineer Sean Hurley of Area 94, resulting in an intense, danceable mess.
