These few months have been truly inspirational, with our movement gaining ground globally, forming new communities in different corners and interesting opportunities unfolding. It is to say the least, extremely gratifying to know that despite staying pretty much under the radar and not dabble heavily in that PR game, we can still evolve and touch others simply by sticking to our guns - that music should be diverse and expressed in various forms. 

To celebrate that diversity, we have put together a special compilation showcasing where our ideas are at right now. More importantly, it's a chance to introduce our entire roster, which has grown exponentially with the likes of Moods, Sh?m, KA-YU, Jasper Staal and Kerem Akdag. Its slightly unfortunate that Giorgio Oehlers is unable to make it for this compilation due to certain domestic commitments, but we feel what we have here strongly represents the ethos of DTW.

Also included in this comp are some up and comers whom we felt deserve a chance to be given the spotlight and share their sounds with a greater audience. Make a point to listen to Versailles the Everything - she's a really fresh singer / rapper out of Florida, US and has blown our ears and minds with everything that she's doing.

So we will leave it as that, and hope this collection inspires and moves you, as much as it does for us. For our regular listeners, it will occupy another essential spot in your DTW collection. For our new listeners, welcome to the DTW universe - it is only just expanding. :)

£ENA x NativeKid - Memories

NativeKid released a quiet stunner late last year on our Free DL series, and was well-received. He's back once again, and this time enlisting the spoken word of £ENA, whose  unique voice has resonated strongly with us at the HQ.

With a distinctly rich texture, her voice can’t be mistaken for another. Lena is an artist that once you hear her - you immediately pay attention.

Hailing from Santa Ana, California with roots from Taiwan, Lena grew up with a multitude influences from Hip Hop to Soul to Oldies. Named by her uncle after sultry songstress Lena Horne, it is almost prophetic that she now uses her voice as her platform to express her spirit. Always having had a strong connection to words and a voracious reader, Lena found escape and solace in putting her feelings and thoughts to paper at a young age.

We can't believe she has been slept on all this time, thus it's with great pleasure that we present this little soother with you all. Shouts to Jason Native for the looks.

The first in the series sees us head to South Africa, enlisting the talents of producers sptmbr yngstr, Broken Transient, Davve Beats and Khotso Raba. Four Hip-Hop inspired instrumentals built on a collection of choice samples.
