Tom Esselle’s Top 11 Wolf Music Must-Haves
Greymatter – Give It To Me Slow (San Soda remix)
Get a good hook and play with it over 7mins. Deep tech done really well.
Frits Wentink – Mice
Absolute stomper. Rumbling low end and beautiful chords, all the while keeping it funky AF
Medlar – Knockard Pearl
Dark and wonky. Something wonderfully sinister about this track.
Frits Wentink – There Now (feat. Loes Jongerling)
Talk about smokin’ cuts. Light one up, sit back and enjoy.
Lea Lisa – One For The Dancers (The Black Tone Reshape)
Just a really good deep house cut. Just when you think it can’t get any better, that solo hits.
Casino Times – Carlotta
Lovely little chugger. Just does the business, you know?
Medlar – Body Action
The WOLF poster boy showcasing his deftness with dubs. Here’s just one reason he was trusted with the West End catalogue a year later.
Mr Fries – Nocturnal
Lovely little roller, deep and lush. The video is great, too.
Medlar – Pampas Drums
This is turning into a Medlar fan post but there’s a reason WOLF keep inviting him back. I’m a sucker for percussive rollers, the wonkier the better.
Pedro & Jenna Camille – Future Dance (It’ll Be Ok)
A rare journey into broken beat on the WOLF catalogue. Tight drums, rich Rhodes, lovely harmonies – right up my street.
BRS – Clubtronic
Not strictly WOLF material but what a great reissue. Love the clav, make it even sexier with some French spoken word.
