Release Date: 30th July 2017
‘Plutonomy’ is the second release for 2017 from the legendary Wookie. The track has all the classic elements that you would expect from a Wooxstar production, hard Skippy drums, an ocean deep bassline, pitching synths and a nod to 90s NYC House.
The word ‘Plutonomy’ is a banking terms used to speak about the in balance of power and wealth with the wealthy few and the poor majority, full description below.
Plutonomy (from Greek πλοῦτος, ploutos, meaning ‘wealth’, and νόμος, nomos,meaning ‘law’, a portmanteau of “plutocracy” and “economy”) is a term that Citigroup analysts have used for economies “where economic growth is powered by and largely consumed by the wealthy few.”
With a packed DJ schedule over the summer months Wookie including 51st State, Outlook and trips to Europe and the Middle East, 2017 looks like being another blockbuster year for the North Londoner.
