Rodolfo Wehbba is the latest techno star to emerge from Brazil with an impressive list of production credits to his name over the past year alone.

His latest project has been signed by the ever alert Yin Yang label who’ve dug deep to deliver an attractive set of remixes for this EP. 

Wehbba’s original is a restless and infectious affair featuring a sliding bassline that underpins layer upon layer of driving loops and crisp hi hats to create a rump shaking, foot stomping groover that’s ideal for either peak time techno plays or early hard dance sets.

The Pedro Delgardo remix takes a turn to the dark side with a sinister sounding droning bass and eerie stabs and effects giving this a cold, almost industrial edge, while the James Alexander rework leans more towards a percussive focus.

However, its the Axel Karakasis remix that really steals the show here as he conjures up a relentless yet irresistible techno groove that’s got funk, flair and fierceness rolled into one.
