Bristol dance music legend Jody Wisternoff shares the second single ’Sweetest Thing’ from his highly anticipated third studio album ‘Welcome To My World’
Wisternoff, a pivotal figure in the UK’s rave scene since the early ’90s, is renowned for his keen ear for talent and his role in shaping the sound of the Anjunadeep label, where he co-curates the chart-topping annual compilation series. His career began back in 1986 at the age of 13 as a finalist in the DMC World DJ Championship, and he quickly became a mainstay of the UK rave scene, performing at legendary venues like the Lakota club in Bristol and for iconic promoters such as Fantazia and Universe.
A chance meeting with Nick Warren in a record store led to the formation of Way Out West, the pioneering duo behind several UK-charting singles and the UK dance number one hit ‘Mindcircus.’ Their 1997 self-titled album garnered both critical acclaim and commercial success, and 20 years later, their Anjunadeep album ‘Tuesday Maybe’, became a firm favorite among the Anjuna fanbase and saw popular reworks from electronic music royalty, including Guy J and Ben Böhmer.
Since then, Jody has released two solo studio albums on Anjunadeep, including the acclaimed ‘Nightwhisper,’ which has garnered over 20 million streams and received support from BBC Radio 1 and SiriusXM Chill. Across his distinguished catalog, Wisternoff has amassed over 70 million streams, with his tracks earning praise from industry heavyweights like Eelke Kleijn, John Digweed, Nora En Pure, Chicane, and more.
Now, on his new album, Welcome To My World, Jody Wisternoff dives deeper into his extensive musical journey and reflects the eclectic influences that have shaped his career. Across its 14 tracks, the album features his signature blend of emotive, intricate melodies and dynamic production techniques, punctuated by his trademark breaks.
In his latest single, ‘Sweetest Thing,’ Jody incorporates a thought-provoking spoken word sample with percussive-laden grooves and evolving synths. Jody’s latest demonstrates his refined production skills, which have earned him support from the likes of SiriusXM Chill and BBC Radio 1. The album also features standout tracks such as ‘Tales From Beyond’ with Nox Vahn and Natascha Polke, ‘Rain’ featuring Sian Evans, and ‘Ease Yourself.’
Jody Wisternoff has also unveiled a global tour spanning 29 dates across North America, the UK, Asia, and Australia, with stops in major cities including London, New York, Los Angeles, and Sydney. Tickets are on sale here.
‘Welcome To My World’ will be released on December 6 via Anjunadeep.
