Wajatta, the duo of Reggie Watts and John Tejada, returns with a brand new EP, ‘Waiting For The Get Down’, set to release 21st September on Brainfeeder. They kick off the EP’s release with an infectious lead single, “Again And Again (feat. March Adstrum).”
“Again And Again (feat. March Adstrum)” punches with a hypnotic groove reflective of peak summer and a good time: “Don’t forget, we are here to celebrate / We all movin’ like we need / The music is getting around us.” It exemplifies the undeniable nature of expertly crafted electronic dance music. Reggie and John outdo themselves on this energetic, sultry house inspired anthem, armed with a pulsating 4/4 beat, hypnotic synth keys, and soulful and reverberant vocals.
“‘Again And Again’ came out of me bringing a sketch of it to one of our live shows and just playing it in the set to see how Reggie would respond,” shares Tejada. “This is a fairly normal way of starting tracks, just to be in the moment and to try something that Reggie has never heard before. That moment created a great vibe and was perhaps the highlight of the whole show, so we quickly got it recorded and dialed in the rest.”
Packed with relentless 4/4 kicks, melodic synth chords, and lyricism, ‘Waiting For The Get Down’ throws caution to the wind. Sonically, the duo tap into their own renaissance, an acceptance of releasing control and letting what is be in order to enjoy the present. As catchy and exciting as ever, Wajatta graciously gifts fans with a collection of tracks to end this summer on the right note.
Leading up to this project, John teamed up with March Adstrum to form the duo, Optometry, whose debut EP, ‘After-Image’, released this past March. Building further upon this creative relationship, March also designed the cover art for ‘Waiting For The Get Down’. Additionally, Reggie Watts’s first book, ‘Great Falls, MT: Fast Times, Post-Punk Weirdos, and a Tale of Coming Home Again’, will be published and ready to read on 17th October this fall. It is an autobiographical account of how the comedian and musician grew up in Montana as a biracial oddball navigating life, drugs, music, and his own identity in America’s heartland.
