Frits Wentink “Dwayne Young”
Amsterdam-based troubadour Frits Wentink springboards into label territory with Live Fast, Dwayne Young on his new Bobby Donny imprint. Branded as a safe haven for (mostly) Frits-only hardware jams on the Rhodes, Juno 60 or MPC, it aims to herald the wonky, lo-fi house musings of both himself and chosen others. Although never one to take himself too seriously, Rarely Pure, Never Simple – his debut longplayer for Wolf Music – masterfully juggled just the right amount of frivolity and playfulness with foot-shifting vigour.
Monsieur Wentink ladles those same attributes into “Dwayne Young” – a contagious brew of soulful murmurs, gated Rhodes chords and snappy kick drum oofs working in tandem. We challenge you to keep your head still throughout it — available on June 15.
