Q & A Time: Woii

What is Woii?

Woii is a website dedicated to the ever evolving sounds of UK Bass Music.

Why did you guys (Luke Hopper and Matt Hensby) create Woii.co.uk?

We felt there was a need for a site which offers up-to-date news on

releases, events, mixes and the artists that are shaping the scene. This

is the music that we love to hear when we're out in the club, music that

we are excited about.

What can we expect on your site?

Woii is split up into four sections; news, features, mixes and nights.

In the news section you can expect anything from new release info, new

videos, free track downloads and anything else in between. The

features section has full album reviews and EP releases,

exclusive track downloads and streams, as well as in-depth event and club

night reviews. The mixes section is simply a selection of our current

favourite mixes from across the net, and finally we have the flyers from

our pick of upcoming events.

What's your take on the music scene in UK right now?

The current music scene in London and in the UK as a whole is really

exciting; we're seeing preconceived genre distinctions break down with

producers putting out unclassifiable releases taking on elements of

House, Garage, Techno, UK Funky and more. In terms of clubbing; nights

are now exploring different avenues with the artists they book - a

single line-up can feature underground UK funky artists alongside big

name Detroit techno DJs. Everyone seems to be open to exploring

different sounds.

Any New Years projects on the go for you two?

For Woii, 2011 is all about launching a club night, the first of

which will be coming very soon.

Luke: What are your top 5 tracks at the moment?

There's so much good stuff around at the mo, but off the top of my head:

Julio Bashmore - Ask Yourself

Contakt - Not Forgotten

Mosca - Tilt Shift

Cassie - Must Be Love (Jacques Greene's Marriage Proposal Mix)

Dennis Ferrer - Redroom

Matt: What are yours?

For me these have to be up there:

T. Williams - Heartbeat (Mosca Remix)

Bad Autopsy - Rot Pot

West Norwood Cassette Library - Blonde on Blonde (Pearson Sound remix)

Mele - I Swear Down

Seiji - Whisky

The Gospel according to Woii: who should we look out for in 2011? 
There are a few artists they are in for big things this year, keep an

eye on Blawan, Jacques Greene, Mele and Brenmar. There's bound to be

more but these guys are definitely going to blow up!
