Bristol artist Jody Wisternoff shares the second single, ’Sweetest Thing’, from his third studio album, ‘Welcome To My World’. Wisternoff, part of the UK's rave scene since the early ‘90s, helps to shape the sound of the Anjunadeep label, where he co-curates the 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 became part of the UK rave scene, performing at venues like the Lakota Club in Bristol and for 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 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’, apparently became a firm favourite among the Anjuna fanbase and saw popular reworks from artists including Guy J and Ben Böhmer.

Since then, Jody has released two solo studio albums on Anjunadeep, including ‘Nightwhisper’, which has garnered over 20 million streams and received support from BBC Radio 1 and SiriusXM Chill. Across his catalogue, he has amassed over 70 million streams, with his tracks earning praise from artists like Eelke Kleijn, John Digweed, Nora En Pure, Chicane, and more.

 

Now, on his new album, he dives deeper into his musical journey and reflects the eclectic influences that have shaped his career. Across its 14 tracks, the album features his blend of emotive, intricate melodies and production techniques, punctuated by breaks.

 

In his latest single, he incorporates a spoken word sample with percussive-laden grooves and evolving synths. The album also features tracks such as ‘Tales From Beyond’ with Nox Vahn and Natascha Polke, ‘Rain’ featuring Sian Evans, and ‘Ease Yourself’.

 

He also recently unveiled a global tour spanning 29 dates across North America, the UK, Asia, and Australia, with stops in cities including London, New York, Los Angeles, and Sydney. 

‘Welcome To My World’ will be released on 6 December via Anjunadeep.
