Rising Star: Wooli

Wooli‘s rapid ascent in the music scene is well-deserved, solidifying his position as a staple in the bass community. While he has been a presence for quite some time, it’s my belief that he has recently honed in on a signature sound, setting him apart and catapulting him into the spotlight. Wooli seems poised to further climb the ranks this year, and I anticipate him becoming a true headliner in the next couple of years.

In my view, for a bass artist to shatter the glass ceiling and surpass peers to become a genuine headliner, they must possess a distinctive style, something that stands out from the oversaturated landscape of dubstep. A case in point is Subtronics, whose signature blend of high-pitched melodies, intricate rhythms, and the fusion of heavy dubstep with space bass has propelled him to new heights. Wooli, too, has carved out his signature style by merging old-school dubstep reminiscent of Flux Pavilion’s early work with modern EDM techniques. The track “Restraint” exemplifies this, featuring a dark melodic bass in the final drop with dubstep elements that redefine the notion of melodic bass. While his released material may lean towards typical dubstep, his recent releases and unreleased tracks strongly hint at headliner status.

Wooli shows no signs of slowing down, continuously elevating himself to new levels. Currently on tour with Subtronics, he has already been announced for several high-profile festivals, including Ultra and Electric Forest. As his sound evolves, he is poised to ascend further in festival billings, eventually reaching the pinnacle. If you have the opportunity to catch his performance, seize it – Wooli is an artist on the rise, and the experience is bound to be extraordinary.
