Trian Kayhatu // Kumiko [Spend The Night]

Kerem Akdag is one of the most exciting and versatile artists that we discovered mid last year, with Moovmnt labelling him as one of the best-comers of 2014. He has also won fans in the form of current house heayweights Detroit Swindle for his low-slung house productions, and this remix of TAJ's single 'Taj Yo'self' cements the fact that Kerem is a name that we would be hearing for a long time to come. It is our blessing to have him on our roster, and we hope you do enjoy this bonus remix.

Singapore, 23rd January: “but do you see what you've been missin'?” Tim De Cotta implores on the opening track, “Taj Yo'self” on TAJ’s “The Astral Journey” EP. Released under local independent record label, Darker Than Wax, the album will officially be released on 30th January 2015.

So what is it exactly that we've been missing? This bitchin brew that was concocted in the studio for almost a year – that features poignant, illustrious pieces which evidently highlight their harmonious unity and talent.

Along with Audrey Tengkey on keys, and JR Teo on drums, local cats of TAJ band is the answer to his question – bringing forth an exciting new venture, a great contribution to Singapore’s contemporary jazz scene.

TAJ’s appeal lies in their creative approach to production and musicianship, unlocking a wide, cross generation appeal, especially among the youths. The Astral Journey is a cross pollination of beats, psychedelia, post-rock, breaks, and everything it takes to please the discerning ears of contemporary jazz musician and listener alike.

“Old Town” is funky wah-wah number, with delicate keys and tight drumming which develops to a breakdown of mellow and psychedelic lead synth, with a fuzzy bass line. “7 DB” is a neutralising post-rock number of dreamy breaks, while “The Astral Journey” is the most “organic” track of the EP - a sexy, stripped down Blue Note number, muddled with an R&B influence that could easily use some vocal company.

“You don't got to worry bout a thing...” Kaye, co-founder of Darker Than Wax, guest croons on the vocoder – a catchy yet calm assurance that this finish is only the beginning. Co-founders Kaye and Funk Bast*rd's production outfit Cosa Nostra's refix of Daydream takes on a 4- to-the-floor house-disco approach, a distinctive sound that is testament to DTW's fledgling roots. Rounding off this Ep is a smooth beatdown remix by our artist Jaël, a multi-faceted musician from Holland, who lays a Dilla-esque vibe on 'TAJ yo self'.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT 04
--FZPZ--
Cat no : AS-04

This journey of discovery is a lifelong one, and we have been blessed lately at the DTW headquarters, to be receiving a good flow of beautiful music from talented cats all over the world.
From Cali, to London, to Paris, we’ve got the corners covered. Our featured artists span a variety of genres, representing that essential diversity at Darker Than Wax. While standard formulas are important for an artist’s identity – these guys prove that the only constant is change, and unearthing fresh, new sounds while on the experimental journey.

The set of exclusive artworks will showcase a specific set of palette, reflecting shapes, moods and atmospheres – perfectly complimenting the music in each feature.
Our recent grassroots signing of FZPZ is shaking things up – for our latest Spotlight series, the prodigal producer provides the freshest cuts of boom bap, sensual soul, and otherworldly synths that come together perfectly in one poignant package. Having released previously on TeamSupreme, Phyla & SVNSET WΛVES, this classically-trained artist is truly one of the freshest souls to have emerged out of the island.
While the lucid arrangements of elements on “Obey” and “Guava” are obvious pleasers, “The Peruvian” is a cult classic – of intense emotions entwined in texture, and harmonic depth.
This flicker of hope is looking to trail blaze Singapura’s promising future of upcoming producers – keep an eye out for more to come.
