Wiles — Yellow Light [GTD.027]

  • Callin Mackintosh

Artwork for Wiles - Yellow Light [GTD.027] on Gated Records Making his debut on Gated, Bristol-based Wiles brings the breaks across four tough but emotive tracks. Wiles is a professional sound engineer who came up in the Norfolk electro and free party scene in the 2000s. During the lockdowns in 2020 he crystalised a live hardware setup that eventually became an EP for Batrachian. But with Yellow Light he takes his sound even further, with washes of spaced out melodicism underpinned by punches of sub-bass and classic rave breaks, intricately programmed and devastating on a dancefloor at the right moment. It’s atmospheric stuff for sure, with one eye on the future but rooted in the timeless dancefloor expressions of the past.
