Basile Petite & Drew Wynen bring the sunshine on debut EP 'On s'amuse'

Expanding upon a series of loop-based ideas from jams in 2022, production duo Basile Petite & Drew Wynen reacted to feedback from their audience on social media to create 'On s'amuse'. A project celebrating the joy of music-making and collaboration between the duo and their audience, it combines hip-hop and broken beat grooves with jazz-laced harmony and futuristic production.

The beat tape follows singles 'L'Autofilteur', 'Jour Soleil' and 'Grosse Soirée', which brought together nostalgic, heartwarming melodies and summer sonics, with nods to Tom Misch and Phony Ppl, as well as a Yussef Kamaal twist.

"This collection of songs all kicked off by putting a few short loops together, having fun at Basile’s house. Unexpectedly some of those beats really took off on the socials & gave us that “why not!” energy to really push & expand on these ideas all the way. We learned a lot in a year & are thrilled with the results. From the bedroom to the world with love… Keeping it fun!"

Drew Wynen is a musician/beatmaker based in London UK. Alongside working extensively as a session guitarist (currently Crystal Fighters, De’Wayne) for over a decade, he started to focus on his own beats especially when lockdown hit in 20-21.

Born and bred in France, Basile Petite moved to London after graduating from Tours Jazz Conservatoire. He started working as a session musician and began writing his own music, producing, and collaborating with other artists such as Mega, Etuk Ubong and BBsway.

The duo came together through a mutual love for hip-hop & jazz, and artists such as Kiefer, MXXWLL and Rob Araujo. Having amassed a strong audience on social media for their work, they've also seen extensive support from editorial teams at Spotify and Apple Music.
