Wheats Returns To BOX RED With Fractured Rhythms On ‘EVERYTHING’S GOOD’
Wheats returned to his own BOX RED label on 30th October with ‘EVERYTHING’S GOOD’, his first release there since 2024’s ‘SOUL CONTROL’. Ella Turner features on the title track and Cae joins him on ‘SHUTDOWN’, with ‘M.U.D’ and ‘MIND GAMES’ completing the EP.
The bass is the first thing you feel. The detail is in what happens around it. Wheats breaks up the drum patterns and leaves room for small glitches in the electronics to register. A shift in the percussion can change how the whole groove feels, even when the bass holds steady. That interplay gives the four tracks their character.
The release follows a summer that took Wheats back to Solid Grooves at DC10 several times. He also played Eastenderz at Hï Ibiza, Paradise at UNVRS and UNLÍSH at Cova Santa. His studio work took him to two labels for the first time, with ‘Eternal’ on UNLÍSH and ‘What I Might Do’ on Disorder.
In July, Wheats also helped launch WYTWOODS, a two day festival on the Isle of Wight. Putting together its first edition gave him a chance to apply what he’d learnt running BOX RED to a festival programme. With ‘EVERYTHING’S GOOD’, he’s back to deciding what goes out on the label itself.
