Robot Rock by Jay Wikid
Quietly stirring the future-hop scene for over 5 years, Canadian-based Jay Wikid finally steps into the spotlight with a searing single to make even the most cynical heads bob. Recognized early on as an up-and-coming talent by Bassnectar, their collaborative single "Select Frequency" charted #1 in Hip Hop on Beatport for three weeks and was subsequently licensed to MTV. Alongside Colorado's Jantsen, the two produced many heaters under "Ghetto Blastaz", and Jay has performed alongside artists like the Glitch Mob, Bassnectar, Breakbeat Buddha, Tipper and Vibesquad. His recent collaboration with Opiuo, "Panty Slingshot", was released on An-ten- nae's latest Acid Crunk compilation and took the Beatport charts by storm. Jay's musical recipes blend infectious hip-hop rhythms with tweaky, glitchy sprinkles - topped off with heavy bassline icing. "Bwamp" never stops grinding with high-pitched blips, heavy womps and zesty zipper sounds, while "Robot Rock" showcases Jay's deeper, funkier side with splashy purple elements, glitched-out vocal samples and slapping beats.
