EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW
In the heart of London’s labyrinthine streets, where the rhythms of urban life intertwine with the pulse of the underground, emerges a maestro of mischief and beats, known to all as wAFF.
In this exclusive feature for and producer Mixmag’s
Amsterdam Dance Event special, we take a dive into the dynamic world of wAFF, a DJ
renowned for his gamesome approach to music.
From his unique blend of grooves to his commitment to environmental causes, we explore the multifaceted artist’s journey, offering insights into his influences, projects, and the transformative power of his music.
THE ART OF PLAY
wAFF’s infectious energy stems from his love for laughter and an insatiable thirst for new sounds. With every set, he embarks on a creative journey, ensuring each experience is as fresh as the dawn of a new day. Like a dedicated gamer
exploring uncharted
territories, he refuses to be confined to a routine. “I’m properly into video games and completing new
games, so I couldn’t
imagine playing the same music over and over,” he grins, reflecting a spirit that craves novelty.
‘COLOURS’ EP: MUSIC WITH A CAUSE
Recently, wAFF unveiled the ‘Colours’ EP on his label NATURE, a testament to his deep reverence for all living things. Through this project, he channels his passion for
environmental conservation and animal welfare into music.
“Everything has a soul and place amongst humanity,” he affirms, his commitment shining through. Each release on NATURE is a lifeline for dogs in need, underscoring the profound impact music can have on causes close to his heart. “We save a Dog’s life with every release. We think it’s a really unique way to use the music and our platform to give back to causes like this.”
For wAFF, Ibiza isn’t just an island; it’s a crucible of transformation. It’s where his journey truly began, amid the beats and magic of Paradise at DC-10. The stories, the parties, the after-parties - they all converge into a tapestry that defines him. “There’s an unparalleled energy that comes from performing in Ibiza, one that simply can’t be replicated anywhere else on the globe,” he muses, as he prepares to return to the island that holds a special place in his heart, ready to weave new tales into its storied history.
EVOLVING SOUNDSCAPES CREATIONS
WITH HOT
wAFF’s evolution as an artist mirrors the shifts in his sonic landscape. From the depths of Tech House to the heights of House vibes, his sets now span a spectrum of rolling Tech, Minimal, and House beats. He revels, seeking to take his audience on a journey, and takes his freedom to explore different styles. It’s a reflection of an artist unbound by convention.
“I always aim to impress and stand out with whatever style I play. That goes the same for my production.”
COMUNA 13: A COMMUNITY’S DANCE COMUNA
13, an event of personal
significance to wAFF, exemplifies his ethos of giving back. It’s an experience designed not for profit, but for the joy of music and the embrace of community.
The breathtaking backdrop of Medellin, with Comuna 13 and the sprawling cityscape, sets the stage for an electrifying event.
“There are not many places where
you get that kind of energy,” he reflects, as he envisions a future where the event continues to grow and flourish.
