Deb Never
In late 2018, WEDIDIT's D33J teased his then-upcoming INFINITY 33 mixtape with the release of "Nothing Left." Los Angeles via Pacific Northwest artist Deb Never, who up until that point had been sharing lo-fi demos on SoundCloud, was given an informal but captivating introduction with the track. Her hypnotic, grunge-flavored hook immediately jumped out on the lurching Shlohmo production. Now, she's officially part of the WEDIDIT family.
It's easy to see what drew D33J and Shlohmo to her music. Her stirring lyrics and deeply emotive delivery recalls the Washington state music she grew up around, transporting old-school emo sounds into a modern context. Her music has just as much in common with Nirvana as it does the L.A. beat scene she's currently part of, utilizing drum machine loops and droning guitar melodies to dizzyingly effect.
The WEDIDIT label is mostly known for its dance and hip-hop-oriented production, and as such Deb Never might initially seem an anomaly among the rest of the talented roster. However, Shlohmo has already showed an eagerness to branch out, as made evident by the production work he did alongside D33J on Corbin's post-punk-inflected 2017 album Mourn. In a similar vein, the signing of Deb Never is just further proof that WEDIDIT is a genre-spanning collective that refuses to be boxed in.
On her newly released, D33J-produced single "In the Night," she graduates from the lo-fi angst of her earlier output. Bolstering her aesthetic without entirely erasing the heft and grit that attracted WEDIDIT to her music in the first place, it's the perfect start to what is sure to be a pivotal year for Deb Never.
