One of Bristol’s finest Way Out West have completed their brand new album We Love Machine, and in August one half of the duo Jody Wisternoff will be here for a DJ tour to coincide with its release. Jody’s heritage in progressive and underground house is a solid one, and he’s released plenty of excellent solo club work in the five or so years since the last Way Out West album, but it’s safe to say we can expect plenty of new ‘WOW’ material on this upcoming club tour.

When ITM talked to the other half of the Way Out West partnership Nick Warren, back when he was due to tour the country during Easter, he had some interesting things to say about the new album. “It’s a slight change of tact for us. We’ve been very influenced by the whole ‘Cosmic Disco’ thing in Europe, guys like Lindstrøm from Scandanavia… It’s only male vocals on this album, but it ranges from zero BPM up until 130BPM. It’s almost like Pet Shop Boys making a very cool underground record.”

Expect a long-player that’s very much in touch with both Wisternoff and Warren’s and clubbing roots. “There’s gonna be around 14 tracks on the album, and seven or eight of them are club based. So it’s still very much of a club-based, electronica album,” he told ITM.
