Premiere: Body Clinic & Wigs ‘NK Prog’

Body Clinic & Wigs have collaborated on a new EP, ‘Body Wigs’. Have an exclusive first listen to ‘NK Prog’ below.

United by a shared passion for ’90s rave culture and killer sound design, the duo – who have been scaling clubland’s ranks in their solo careers – join forces for the first time on this chuggy new four-tracker. Due to drop today (15th November) on French label 39 Records, ‘Body Wigs’ swoops from pupil-dilating prog into strobing contemporary trance and techno, delivered with a distinctive psychedelic touch.

Lean rhythms and warming trance pads are order of the day on opener ‘Into The Void’, ahead of the trippy, tunnelling techno of ‘Lost Souls’ and trance-laced grooves of the hilariously named ‘Tuna Bap’. Our pick of the bunch, though, is the rave-ready closer ‘NK Prog’ which serves up its thundering tech beat with bright, melodic flourishes and acidic bass squelches.

London-via-Belfast DJ and producer Body Clinic made a splash earlier this summer with his debut 12-inch on DJ Cosworth’s HARDLINE sub-label, ‘BODYHI05’. Packed full of prog and tech-house-garage hybrids, the project earned attention from the likes of Job Jobse, Spray, Amaliah and Jamz Supernova, and has cemented the Irish up-and-comer as a serious one to watch.

London-based Wigs has been on a similar upwards ascent in the past year, swapping the high-tempo breaks of his previous alias Will Ortiz for lobe-tickling prog and trance on labels including Ajam’s Dream Software, Neptune Discs and now Parisian favourite 39 Records.

Both artists feature on the new compilation from London label GODDEZZ, ‘RE​:​DREAM II’, which spans deep proggy house, ’90s trance and hypnotic breaks. Check out DJ Mag’s premiere of Duo Paradiso’s ‘Moonlight’ from the comp here.
