Signed to the very highly regarded Third Ear Recordings, WBEEZA is sitting comfortably amongst names like Brendon Moeller, Fabrice Lig and Theo Parrish, bringing some well needed freshness to the capital’s dance music scene.

Wbeeza’s production can be jacking, swinging, jazzy, soulful, tough, deep and raw. He takes in the history of house, with an ear for Detroit, and gives it a true London stamp.

Wbeeza has international support across the board, in the Techno world from the likes of Laurent Garnier, to Sebo K (Mobilee), and through the House spectrum from Trus’me (Prime Numbers) to Jus’ Ed (Underground Quality), to name a few… and he was listed 3rd in the Little White Earbuds Top 5 Breakout Acts of 2009, among the likes of Mount Kimbie and Black Jazz Consortium.

Third Ear’s Guy McCreery wrote:

“In my 8 years in music, WBEEZA is the most exciting newcomer I’ve encountered…

If i heard a DJ playing his tracks in a club I would have wanted to know immediately who the artist is”

What the critics say?

Resident Advisor’s Carnes said:

“Third Ear Recordings have long been forging the link between London and Detroit… becoming essential purchases for discerning fans. It wasn’t until the middle of last year that the label had their own response to fire back over the Atlantic, which came in the form of Wbeeza… 4/5″

BOOMKAT:

“Wbeeza is just 23 … but sounds for all the world like he’s fully versed in the disciplines and techniques of vintage house music, with more than a little bit of a Detroit influence permeating these productions. Wbeeza’s drum programming is particularly refined, balancing the power of motorised techno with organic, jazzy kit sounds.”

DJ Mag:

“Wbeeza turns out a mid-’90s flavour dub that sits perfectly between house and garage. Listening to the track will take the old crew back… while newer heads will get some much needed education on days gone by.”

Super nice radio show on iRadio (102-104fm) every Sunday night from 4-6am from Shane Mannion. Lush music to help the early morning ravers drift away.

Born in Rome, Leo (Lerosa) developed a love of electronic music through Italian pop music of the 1980s, before discovering hip hop and acid house . He began djing in the early 90s and in 1995 moved to Dublin where he got heavily into darker, deeper electronica and electro by the likes of Autechre, Drexciya and the extended Detroit- inspired musical underworld.

Leo began producing his own music in 2000, concentrating initially on electro but broadening his range into unconventional house and techno styles. His debut release was the ‘Maike ep’ on Dublin’s D1 Recordings in 2005. He followed this up with a critically acclaimed release on Real soon, titled ‘Ruski’. Then followed the equally outstanding “Seeker ep“ on Enclave Recordings , closely followed by a release on The “A touch of class” imprint out of Germany , a brilliantly received ep on Uzuri . More recently he has released on the seminal “Millions Of Moments ” imprint as well as the ace new label , Quintessentials.

Since then Lerosa has been on demand as a remixer and has garnered a lot of press coverage from magazines such as Germany’s Groove Mag & De Bug , London’s Strobelight Honey magazine as well as coverage on the increasingly influential music blogs, such as Infinitestatemachine , Test , e.t.c.

On warmup duties, the Cork house music mafia represent in the form of Jack Buckley and Jim Plugd, their bags full to the brim of quality as always. The WTF crew shall be spinning early to get it warm and of course Lerosa will play live.

Cool concept where you can win a slot at the UK festival circuit (Download, T in The Park, and Underage Festival) for your band just from playing in your bedroom. Check it all out over at www.redbullbedroomjam.com.

With two tracks already a part of Cian Ó Cíobháin’s blissful An Taobh Tuathail compilations, it’s no surprise this podcast brings you on a beautiful journey of tense instrumentals, smoothing drones and secluded percussion.
