mo wrights: things2proof
Francisco Espregueira
Rising star Mo Wrights explodes onto the scene with unbelievable levels of groove in his debut EP, things2proof, on Wicked Wax. This bruk-jazz-infused odyssey delves into the artist's creative struggles, weaving a narrative of self-doubt, frustration, and ultimately, liberation. The title track is a sprawling, 6-minute exploration that blends broken beat, acid jazz and deep textures, receiving a remix treatment by Kofi The Unknown and LYMA. Wrights' powerful storytelling unfolds across four parts, mirroring his journey from alienation to self-acceptance.
The flip side, "proof of concept," offers a more relaxed soundscape, embracing Mo's love for broken beat. Amsterdam's Misto Kay graces the track with a soulful piano solo, adding another layer of depth to the groove. True to his collaborative spirit, Wrights incorporates the talents of fellow Dutch artists like QUANZA and Jamie Peet, while the remixes further enrich this impressive debut. Available on vinyl, watch out for the vibezz on this one.
