Old Grooves For New Streets is the distinctive new album from acclaimed world-jazz group Way Out West. Way Out West has developed a unique and alluring sound, which blends Vietnamese and African influences with jazz in a surprising and vibrant manner. Described by reviewer Shane Nichols as having "a distinctly Asian flavour, thanks to the bubbling, ethereal sounds of Nguyen's instruments, yet at the same time Knight and Williamson introduce a clear Western touch while Pereira in places takes it all the way to Africa. Like its name, I simply think this captivating mixture is Australian."
Way Out West's unique sound has gained them a reputation as one of the most Innovative and exciting groups on the Australian music scene. Old Grooves for New Streets is out now.
Way Out West
Active Decades: '90s and '00s
Born: 1994 in Bristol, England
Genre: Elec
Styles: House, Club/Dance, Progressive House
Conspicuous from the rest of Bristol's electronica scene by the absence of trip-hop or jungle leanings in their productions, Way Out West have instead pursued straightahead house and trance with closer ties to progressive British dancefloors than American hip-hop. The duo of Jody Wisternoff and Nick Warren first came together in the mid-'90s; Wisternoff was a veteran producer who had first recorded at the age of 14 (with fellow Bristolian house artists Smith & Mighty) while Warren was a high-profile Balearic DJ and clubnight-promoter influenced by the sounds of Madchester. The duo began recording, and by 1996 their single "The Gift" had become a big mover on dancefloors and the radio as well, thanks to a British advert which used the song. Signed to Deconstruction, Way Out West released their self-titled debut album in 1997. A change of venue, to Distinct'ive, preceded the release of 2001's Intensify, and after a three-year interim the duo followed with the similar-sounding Don't Look Now. Warren, who spent time as the resident DJ at super-club Cream, has released several compilations detailing his mixing skills.
