Being one of the most distinctive funk projects in Athens over the last years, WFP is a musical collective that combines traditional soul-funk sounds with the modern stream of the hip-hop scene.
The band was formed in the summer of 2007 in Athens, as a jazz studying trio but the need of composing original music came up really soon. The chemistry between Dimitris Giotakis (guitar), Kostas Stamou (bass) and Aggelos Diamantopoulos (drums), along with their particular music style and the explicit influences from the funk scene, soon led to the first live performances and established them to the daily music life.

After Dimitris retirement on February 2010, many changes have been made both in the lineup and the genre orientation. Experimenting with sound and its diversity, has been a catalyst for the creation of a funk project with a different timbre than usual. The prospect of a dynamic musical collective which can be alternated and evolve, effected by the incorporation of Nikos Martziokas (percussion), Stamatis Lekatis (keys & programming), Billa Qause (beatmaking & scratches) and Tasos Katsaris (tenor sax & wind controller).

Together, they will complete the recording of their debut single "From Scratch", which was released in a limited edition of 7inch vinyl by Under A Groove, on March 18th, 2014.

The collaboration with guest artists as Alida SoulMama (vocals) and Elephant Phinix (mc) at their live shows, is reflected in their new album, whose recordings starts at the end of 2014 and is expected to be released in 2015
