The collaboration captures Wet during a renaissance. The indie band out of Brooklyn debuted their studio album Don’t You and appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in January, alerting a wider audience to their hypnotic hooks. Master & Dynamic tapped Wet for an an original track, "All The Ways (Jefferson909 Remix)." The song, taken from the band’s album, has been reincarnated with a house-driven beat pulsing under lead singer Kelly Zutrau’s ethereal vocals.

The members of Wet are Marty Sulkow, Joe Valle, and Kelly Zutrau. The trio met while going to school in New York.

The band also sat down for an interview with The 10,000, Master & Dynamic’s blog. Zutrau spoke about how the band’s heightened profile has affected her lyrics: "I think it can be harder at times when you know there’s going to be a lot of people listening and being critical of your words. It can be harder to write from a genuine place, but it can also be really exciting if you do hit on something that feels important to communicate if you know you’re going to reach a lot of people."

Sulkow wears the MH40 Over Ear Headphones in black and gray.
