WOESUM RELEASES PROTECTED V2 REMIXES PROJECT
On the heels of the release of a new rework of “HowManyDays?” featuring jackzebra and DJ Ess, Swedish producer Woesum has released a seven-track remix EP of his fourth project, Protected. This project comes on the back of a 13-date headline run across Europe and Asia, expanding his international appeal as a producer who can reach music fans of any background. With contributions from Hixxy, Joon Gloom, Eurohead, Kamixlo, Lauren Duffus, and Skin on Skin, Woesumhas assembled the Avengers of experimental electronic music, spanning genres and continents as each artist reworks a song from his March release.
Protected saw Woesum tapping back into the trance, house, and Eurodance that soundtracked his youth, weaving those influences together with his signature cloud-rap and plugg style, while Protected v2 flips the project on its head—diving into harder experimental techno and trance and collaborating with some of the most promising new names in underground electronic music. The result is a boundary-pushing experience described by Office Magazine as sounding “like the end of something and the beginning of something else at once”, with Protected v2 promising a collaborative reimagining that connects Woesum’s sound with a wide range of voices from across the global electronic scene.
Protected followed last year’s Paradise Tree EP and his 2021 debut album Blue Summer, which garnered widespread praise and featured collaborations with Bladee, Yung Lean, Oklou, and more. Renowned for his contributions to projects such as evilgiane’s#HEAVENSGATE vol. 1, Kamixlo’s debut album Cicatriz, and Pretty Sick‘s Streetwise, Woesum has also played a crucial role in shaping the sound of influential music collectives Drain Gang and Sad Boys. Initially connected with Drain Gang and Sad Boys founding members Bladee, Yung Lean, Ecco2k, and Thaiboy Digital through Sweden’s underground rap scene, Woesum quickly became a go-to producer for the collective. His production is heard on Bladee‘s masterpiece album Cold Visions and Yung Lean‘s critically acclaimed 2022 mixtape Stardust, projects that helped cement his reputation as an innovative force in both the rap and electronic music scenes.
