First Word is pleased to bring you more music from Werkha!

‘Beat Tapestry’ is a 14-track affair, previously released only on a very limited cassette, and comprised of various beats and bobs from Werkha’s harddrive, ranging from slow synthy grooves, to wonky astral house vibes, up to funky 140bpm territory.

This follows recent acclaimed releases for First Word, the 2022 sophomore album ‘All Werk Is Play’, and 2020 EP ‘The Rigour’, additionally to a 10 year anniversary version of Werkha’s debut ‘Cube & Puzzle’.

Werkha recently toured the UK supporting Manchester legends A Certain Ratio, who he’s also just provided a remix for, as well as performing live shows recently at Glastonbury, Love Supreme, Kelburn Garden Party, Jazz In The Park, Brick Lane Festival and Dour Festival, to name a few.

In the past, Werkha has toured with artists like Mr Scruff and Bonobo, and previous radio support comes from BBC’s Jamz Supernova, Tom Ravenscroft, Afrodeutsche & Huey Morgan, as well as selectors such as DJ Paulette, Scratcha DVA, Zakia Sewell, Harvey Sutherland & Jyoty.

‘Beat Tapestry’ will be available on all digital platforms on August 18th 2023.
