First Word is pleased to bring you more music from Werkha!
'Beat Tapestry' is a 14-track affair, previously released only on a very
limited cassette, and comprised of various beats and bobs from Werkha's
harddrive, ranging from slow synthy grooves, to wonky astral house
vibes, up to funky 140bpm territory.
This follows recent acclaimed releases for First Word, the 2022
sophomore album 'All Werk Is Play', and 2020 EP 'The Rigour',
additionally to a 10 year anniversary version of Werkha's debut 'Cube
& Puzzle'.
Werkha recently toured the UK supporting Manchester legends A Certain
Ratio, who he's also just provided a remix for, as well as performing
live shows recently at Glastonbury, Love Supreme, Kelburn Garden Party,
Jazz In The Park, Brick Lane Festival and Dour Festival, to name a few.
In the past, Werkha has toured with artists like Mr Scruff and Bonobo,
and previous radio support comes from BBC's Jamz Supernova, Tom
Ravenscroft, Afrodeutsche & Huey Morgan, as well as selectors such
as DJ Paulette, Scratcha DVA, Zakia Sewell, Harvey Sutherland &
Jyoty.
