Watsche’s long-awaited solo EP, “Wobble Me“, released on his YOI label, is a musical journey packed with groove, energy, and unexpected turns. Through each track, Watsche offers listeners a fresh narrative, engaging them right from the first beat and sustaining the intrigue until the final note.
The adventure begins with “Wanna Banana,” a track that feels as thrilling and unpredictable as tasting an exotic fruit for the first time. Warm, inviting synth chords wash over you, creating a tactile sense of musical warmth. The buoyant rhythms hook you in, while playful melodies establish an uplifting tone for the journey that follows, setting the stage for what’s to come.
Next, the EP’s namesake, “Wobble Me,” takes center stage with an intense, dancefloor-shaking energy. Anchored by a relentless bassline, this track is the heart of the EP—infectious and impossible to resist. The beat pulsates with a chaotic, almost hypnotic house energy, immersing listeners in a no-holds-barred experience as bodies naturally surrender to the rhythm.
The third track, “Underever,” brings listeners back to the raw underground ethos Watsche champions. With a vibe that’s more introspective than its predecessors, this piece is a nod to the lesser-known, true essence of music that thrives beneath mainstream layers. A bit more laid-back, it still packs a punch with a striking synth line that echoes the exotic elements of “Wanna Banana” while grounding the groove in a grittier, shadowed atmosphere.
Closing out the EP is “New Sneakers,” a fitting finale to this dance-inducing collection. With a UK garage-inspired touch, this track invites listeners to let loose with chopped vocal samples, brisk drum sequences, and a hypnotic synth line that keeps you moving. After such a high-energy journey, you’ll likely be in need of fresh sneakers—this is a finale that dares you to keep dancing.
Altogether, “Wobble Me” is a testament to Watsche’s ability to blend unexpected textures and rhythms while staying true to his underground roots. It’s an EP crafted with the dancefloor in mind, guaranteed to resonate with both devoted fans and newcomers alike.
