London-based house artist Wbeeza has unveiled details for his first full-length, Void, slated for release this fall on Third Ear.

The album comes just two years after Wbeeza's debut on Third Ear, Heavystuff, which cemented the young producer's reputation with the underground house hit "Disco Dayz." In the meantime he's put out two more 12-inches, New Skank and City Shuffle, the latter of which has gotten loads of club play thanks to the stripped-down drum workout "A116." Void consists of entirely unreleased material, though none of it was recorded for the album specifically. "I didn't sit down and make this album," Wbeeza explains. "These are just a few tracks that sounded nice when were were compiling the album."

This off-the-cuff approach extends to his productions as well. "I'm just making music," he says. "I'm not trying to make slower tracks and faster tracks or hip- hop or house. I grew up as a kid with hip-hop, beatboxing rather than making beats, and those beats are in my blood. When I make a track I just start out with how I'm feeling or with an inspiration; an idea or a sample, and that's where I finish as well. I'm making all kinds of sounds." Void will see release on CD and digitally as a single mix or split into separate tracks.

Tracklist
01. Blunted
02. Day by Day
03. Shangri la
04. Sharar
05. Beaver Skin
06. Manual Mode
07. Tru My Veins
08. Beyond Question
09. The World Is Yourz
10. Southern Girl
11. Hang On
12. Why
13. Let Me Know
14. Variations
15. My Mistake
16. Take Em Out
17. 2Nite

Third Ear will release Void on November 22nd, 2010.

Mon, 31 Jan 2011some short ideas with fade outs. great ideas anyways! inspiring, but really impossible to play without some cuts.

Wed, 29 Dec 2010'Frustrating experience' about sums it up for me. I love the man's music, but this was really disappointing. It's not bad at all, but it had the potential to be so much better. I wish he'd let his ideas [which are mostly excellent] develop over the course of a song, rather than just end them abruptly.

Tue, 21 Dec 2010This is a strong debut. Very impressive. The digital package offers the album as one track in order to make the album the price of a track. Very good deal! Download the whole album for less than a €/£/$!

Mon, 20 Dec 2010i agree, but for me it's a big disappointment.

like the reviewer said, quite a few great ideas that needed to be developed. too many moments that feel like an interlude followed by an interlude and then another.

feels more like a hastily compiled collection of demos to me. and that hip hop track that comes out of nowhere and sticks out like a very sore thumb. And that the digital version comes with the complete album as one track, suggesting the tracks were mixed or at least were... More
