Clearly Jody Wisternoff is a man whose personal dictionary doesn\u2019t contain the term \u2018tread water\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Jody has indeed been pushing the envelope his entire career, which started at the very early age of 13 years when he and brother Sam prodigiously reached the finals of the DMC HipHop Championships. This success was compounded two years later when they found national fame as Tru Funk, landing themselves on the pages of cult magazine The Face and Tim Westwood\u2019s Radio 1 playlist. \u201cObviously it was a different genre to what I\u2019m known for now,\u201d explains Jody, \u201cBristol\u2019s always been renowned for the calibre of its dub scene and the artists that have come out of it. In the late 80\u2018s and early 90\u2018s I was very much a part of that movement, which provided me with an invaluable foothold in the world of dance. I soon found myself DJing to thousands at fondly remembered festivals such as Universe and Fantazia. It was a crazy time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>These formative years were influential too, for it was this background that underpinned the ethos of Way Out West, which Jody founded with Nick Warren following a chance meeting in a local record shop. Fusing Bristol\u2019s dub roots with club beats Way Out West captured a sound unlike any other at that time and burst onto the mid-nineties dance scene with seminal hits such as \u2018Ajare\u2019 and top ten smash \u2018The Gift\u2019, which they even performed on Top of the Pops (RIP). When not appearing on nationally treasured TV programmes they could be found remixing the likes of Roni Size, M-People, Orbital, Tiesto, Sasha, BT, UNKLE, James Holden and Fatboy Slim\u2019s Freak Power alter ego; touring the world alongside dance titans Faithless and The Prodigy and collaborating with Trevor Horn, arguably one of Britain\u2019s most successful and revered producers. How many can boast a CV like that?<br \/>\nBut perhaps most remarkable of all is that, in this highly disposable world of dance, Way Out West continues to this day. Currently working on their fifth album, Jody explains the key to their longevity, \u201cIt\u2019s because we don\u2019t live in each others pockets and take long breaks between WOW projects. In other words, we keep it fresh. It\u2019s a cycle of about 4 years focusing on solo stuff, followed by a year back together, which is great because we bring all our new experiences from this time apart time and feed it back into the band. It\u2019s not something we planned, or rather, do plan, it\u2019s a schedule and process that\u2019s developed over time and works.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So what of Jody\u2019s solo endeavours? Well, if you think these are fallow periods living off the echo of past Way Out West achievements, you\u2019d be very, very wrong indeed. Once again Jody\u2019s incomparable ability to succeed with production and DJing has seen him climb to the highest heights of Beatport (and we\u2019re talking THE overall, not genre chart here) and iTunes; remix Above &#038; Beyond, Robert Babicz and more; tour the UK alongside 808 State legend Graham Massey; maintain a monthly show \u2018Intensified \u2019 on Frisky radio, now in it\u2019s eighth(!) year; take on an A&#038;R development role for Anjunadeep signing acts such as Lane8 and Lancelot and, as if all of that weren\u2019t enough, release his own solo album, \u2018Trails We Blaze\u2019. \u201cIt\u2019s probably fitting to end this biog as I began,\u201d concludes Jody, \u201cI really am busier now than ever, which is a blessing. Whether I\u2019m in the studio, playing to 5<br \/>\nthousand alongside A&#038;B at the Ally Pally or touring the world, I\u2019m still as excited by what I do now as I was when I began. The music, style and opportunities may have evolved over the years, but my passion remains the same.
