Introducing Ryan Wilcox Aka Night Wolf from Luton, UK. He worked with Flipper Music (Italy) and Deneb Records and has produced music for TV networks such as Fox Sports, Sky Sports, DR2, RTL2. A selection of adverts like Kooth and The UK Environmental Agency, documentaries such as Anonymous and Greta Thunberg, film trailer The Essex Boys Retribution, Music for the UK Government and officially remixed artists such as Mark Morrison, Devlin, Crooked I, LEAH and many others.  Night Wolf has just recently released a new album which is certainly getting the right attention that it deserves.

From the moment that The Distraction (new album from the Nightwolf) comes smashing through our speakers like a wrecking ball in the song Stay Put  featuring Farisha, there isn’t any debate as to whether or not this album will be a success story.

Bleeding Out Your Love Ft AMRA come alive under the pressure. Blanketed in an insular production that magnifies the  heaviness tenfold, Nightwolf’s latest album is a brilliant exhibition in big grooves and even bigger licks.

Good For Me Ft Elsadie has plenty of  shades and shares an emotional depth that is startlingly gripping even at its most vulnerable and intimately personal.

On My Mind Ft Miriam and Smoke – Violette Wautier (Night Wolf Remix) are two songs that are stylized on polar opposite sides of the pop spectrum, but both feel intricately related somehow. The sterling harmony on the latter is so affective and stirring that its rough edges seem almost beautiful and deliberate.

The Distraction is an exquisitely produced and mixed album. The duality of their sound isn’t as contrasting as it was in their last record, which is definitely a step in the right direction for their music moving forward.

We caught up with NightWolf for a quick interview.. 

How would you describe your music?
I would describe my music as experimental/electronic, it has elements of different genres and all tracks are all a bit different in its own way. chilled and atmospheric with elements of trip hop.

What would you say is your recording and song writing style?
ideas back and forth until there is a track and vocal track to work with, i mix and master my own tracks.i like to have a theme in mind or a certain energy to each song i create, although not a hidden meaning, fun fact : i have hidden a wolf howl as a sort of trademark to most of my songs somewhere, see if you can find it : )

Where would you like to see your music career in 5 years time?
I would like to continue to make new albums and continue to have my music used in productions. I will never stop creating new music.

Where can music fans listen your music?
You can find me on Soundcloud,Youtube,Datpiff,Bandcamp and many others.
