Out Now Via HIFN
Electronic music disruptor Wehbba drops his latest body of work, STUDIO DUMP 05.25 – a surprise, no-rules album project, unveiled piece by piece over the past four weeks via his multi-art platform, HIFN. No strategy. No roadmap. Just raw output. STUDIO DUMP 05.25 is what happens when an artist stops editing and starts releasing – immediately, impulsively and unapologetically. It’s a collection of sonic sketches pulled straight from the studio floor: spontaneous, unpolished, and absolutely alive. Rolled out in weekly drops across the month and now finally here in its complete arrangement, the project invites listeners into the chaos and clarity of real-time creativity. These aren’t refined final forms – they’re artifacts of inspiration as it struck. Unfinished on paper, but complete in essence.
There is a moment in creation when everything flows – before the overthinking, before the polishing, before doubt creeps in. A moment when instinct takes over and ideas move faster than the mind can process. STUDIO DUMP 05.25 is that moment, frozen in time. Each track is a fragment of energy, a snapshot of movement and thought before it could be second-guessed.
The tracks on STUDIO DUMP 05.25 – including titles like “RENN,” “TRACTION,” “EXIT TIME,” “RESPECT THE PROCESS,” “SYNTHETICS,” “BRAIN CONFUSION,” “ESSENCE,” “MIRAGE” (with Misstress Barbara), and “SYMMETRY” – weren’t designed for uniformity or to chase trends. Each piece was developed with a clear purpose: to serve distinct moments within a DJ or live set, offering tools to shift momentum, redirect energy, or carve out unexpected space on a dancefloor.
Rather than aiming to match the sound of high-energy, chart-topping techno, these tracks lean into individuality – each one breaking form in its own way, challenging structure while remaining highly functional. The result is a collection that feels varied by design, grounded in utility but unafraid to stand apart.
STUDIO DUMP 05.25 isn’t just an album – it’s a transmission, a thought experiment, a memory bank of sound. The collection speaks to the volatile nature of electronic music in the age of social media, reflecting how the culture of the scene, like the fleeting scroll of a social feed, is created, consumed, and replaced with dizzying speed.
As with every HIFN release, the music is accompanied by a wordscape; an abstract reflection of its essence through poetry. The wordscape itself is a meditation on the emptiness that would arise if our social media feed were to disappear. What would happen to someone’s behaviour, emotions, even sense of self, when governed by the need for validation through external interactions?
“What if my feed is empty / How can I know what happy is / How do I know what to like / And what to look like?”
The words move like the music – repetitive, hypnotic, unravelling. A mirror held up to the digital world, where reality is curated and fractured, where presence is measured in engagement, and where silence feels like oblivion. Bring back the feed.
“STUDIO DUMP 05.25 captures my present state as an artist – disconnected, raw, and instinctive. It’s a reflection of how electronic music exists in the social media era, shifting so rapidly that everything can vanish in an instant. The Wordscape itself is a meditation on the emptiness of an unfilled feed, and the way our lives have been shaped by what’s seen, consumed, and forgotten. It’s not about permanence – it’s about finding value in the fleeting through being intentional.” – Wehbba
Wehbba invites listeners to reflect on how deeply this digital existence has woven itself into our lives, while also celebrating it. Everything in life, even the ephemeral, can be seen as art – because art is everywhere, in all things and there can be value in what disappears, as long as it is intentional. The way STUDIO DUMP 05.25 is presented week by week is a testament to this idea and a nod to one of Wehbba’s favorite art forms: street art – raw, transitory but purposeful.
Wehbba has always been an artist who thinks beyond the beats. His music is more than sound – it’s an exploration of ideas and unfiltered expression. Whether through his intricate productions, his conceptual wordscapes, or his refusal to cater to formulaic commercialism, he constantly searches for deeper truths in music. STUDIO DUMP 05.25 is a tribute to that ethos – an album that doesn’t strive for perfection but instead captures something real, something instinctive, something honest. The entire aesthetic is an explosion of textures and fragments, layered like a memory half-remembered. It doesn’t try to be perfect. It doesn’t try to be clean. It simply exists. And now, it’s out in the world.
STUDIO DUMP 05.25 is available now on all streaming platforms. No edits. No second-guessing. Just sound. Just feeling. Just movement: https://bfan.link/studio-dump-05-25
