WTF 2013 Part 3 Album Review: Tech House Vibes from Italy That’ll Stick With Ya
Alright, let’s talk about WTF 2013 Part 3, the kinda under-the-radar tech house gem from 2014. Released by WTF! Music outta Italy, this album is a solid mix of bangers and head-nodders that just scream late-night vibes. It’s not perfect, but it’s got some tracks you won’t forget anytime soon. Let me break it down for ya.
First up, “K5 (Konstantin Yoodza Remix).” Man, this one hits hard. The beat kicks in like a punch to the chest—clean, sharp, and relentless. But what really sticks with me is how smooth it feels despite being so damn energetic. Like, you can tell Konstantin knew exactly what he was doing here. It’s one of those tunes where you’re vibing at home, then suddenly you’re imagining yourself in some dimly lit club losing your mind on the dancefloor. You know? And honestly, I think the bassline alone could carry an entire party if it had to. Props to whoever picked this remix for the album—it’s fire.
Then there’s “This Is (Piatto Remix),” which has this weirdly hypnotic groove going on. Piatto definitely brought his A-game here. What makes this track memorable isn’t just the rhythm; it’s the way it builds tension without ever fully letting go. It teases you, man. Like, you keep waiting for that big drop or explosion, but instead, it keeps you locked in this loop of anticipation. By the time the track ends, you’re left feeling both satisfied and kinda confused—like, did that just happen? Either way, it’s stuck in my head now, so mission accomplished.
The rest of the album follows suit with plenty of other solid cuts like “Oshika (Zenbi Remix)” and “Drop That (Adrian Hour Remix),” but those two stood out to me as real winners. Honestly, the whole thing feels like a love letter to tech house fans who appreciate subtlety over flashy tricks. Nothing feels forced, and every track brings its own flavor to the table.
Here’s the thing though—what really gets me thinking is how albums like this often fly under the radar. In today’s world of TikTok hits and instant viral moments, something as nuanced as WTF 2013 Part 3 might not get the shine it deserves. But maybe that’s okay. Maybe it’s better off staying low-key, appreciated by the people who stumble across it during late-night SoundCloud deep dives or random Spotify shuffles. Kinda poetic, right?
Anyway, give this album a spin if you’re into tech house that doesn’t try too hard but still delivers. Oh, and fun fact: listening to “Norwegian Puppies” while eating actual nachos is oddly satisfying. Try it sometime—you won’t regret it.
