Will B links with Idd Aziz on new remix

East London’s music scene has long been a melting pot of culture and creativity and few artists embody that spirit quite like Will B. A seasoned producer and DJ, Will B has earned a reputation as a tastemaker with a unique sonic output that fuses the rhythms of his St. Lucian heritage with the urban pulse of the UK, resulting in music that stands at the crossroads of Afro house and melodic house.

His journey into music began with a classical background, mastering piano up to grade six before turning his attention to DJing as a teenager. At 16, he was already part of a local sound system collective, spinning records at parties and clubs around London. Having spent years working behind the scenes in the music industry, managing the imprint Casual Records and the respected house label Need2Soul, Will B is no newcomer to the game.

But now, stepping fully into the light with the launch of his own label Spirit Animal Records, he’s showcasing his original work with the same ear and vision that earned him recognition in the first place. The latest offering from Will B comes in the form of a remix release that distils his forward-thinking approach to electronic music.

“Seme (Greg Elenis Remix)” features Kenyan vocalist Idd Aziz and a rework by New York-based producer Greg Elenis, taking the track into an emotionally charged, deep house sphere. While the original version already held a magnetic Afro house groove, Greg’s interpretation pulls it into a more reflective realm via an atmospheric journey where texture and rhythm collide into something truly transportive.

Greg Elenis is known for his globetrotting sonic vision and brings a cinematic quality to the remix with arpeggiated synths swirling above pulsing basslines and crisp percussion framing Idd Aziz’s powerful, expressive vocal delivery. It’s a superb display of restraint and release, balancing high energy moments with brooding, melodic sections that allow the track to breathe with slick ebb and flow.

What’s most interesting about this release is the synergy, with Will B’s rhythmic foundation and cultural context, Idd Aziz’s soulful performance and Greg Elenis’ nuanced sound design blending in spectacular fashion. With more releases on the horizon and Spirit Animal Records gaining momentum, Will B is proving that his time spent forging his own musical own behind the curtain was merely a prelude. His sound is exciting yet grounded, globally inspired yet thoroughly personal and it suggests that whatever’s next for Will B, it’s going to be worth tuning in for.
