About this item

Coloured vinyl 10". Strictly limited.

WAO (Waltaa Abnd Onra) is an ephemeral project, a musical experiment between two friends that happened during a rainy afternoon in the Parisian suburban area in 2014.

After years of knowing each other, Waltaa and Onra finally decided to make music together in the same room for once, and this double-sided 10” single is the product of this collaboration between the two underground French producers.

With “Sexy Robot”, a (then) retro-futuristic ballad for a talkbox duet, and “All Night Long”, a new jack swing instrumental cut, the release encompasses many different influences that the two producers share, but the use of the talkbox on both tracks suggest a direct inspiration from legendary 90’s R&B producers, Devante Swing and Teddy Riley respectively.

Matt Says: Landing somewhere between the cough syrup swillin' slo-mo futurism of chopped n screwed, and the vocodered electro funk of Ed DMX, Wao showcase their own gnarly version of RnB and it's great!
