Pre-order Compilation / 12" : https://darkerthanwax.bandcamp.com/album/various-channels-vol-1-nyc-compiled-by-marco-weibel

Various Channels is a new series within the Darker Than Wax catalogue - a selector-led compilation series that pushes diversity in sound while also encapsulating a common connection of what brings people together. For the first volume, it’s all about location. Deeply inspired by the new wave of creative energy in New York City, the label is proud to present ‘Various Channels Vol. 1 : NYC’ - a compilation highlighting key artists at the forefront of NYC’s blooming music ecosystem, curated by selector Marco Weibel. While Darker Than Wax was born in Singapore, our satellite (or second) home is NYC. 

First single comes in the form of a smoked-out late-night deep house joint, via psychedelic soul savant, Jitwam. ‘Back To My Place’ jumps right into gear with an unforgettable bassline that carrys throughout the song, getting you out of your seat and tailing the simple but addictive vocal hook for more. With recent syncs on Zoe Kravitz's High Fidelity and Moodymann's DJ Kicks, Jitwam‘s definitely one to keep eyes and ears on. 

This compilation serves as a snapshot of this moment in time, spotlighting select artists making waves - including Jitwam, James Tillman, Toribio, Ensemble Entendu, David Marston and Tristan Arp. This project is also personal to Marco’s experience of digging deep into the city and connecting with kindred spirits, the selections reflecting the creative energy of his close musical family, who traverse eclectic sound spectrums from R&B/Soul, Balearic Grooves, House, Broken Beat and beyond.

Holland natives Yasper & Moods got together to provide us with a touch of sunshine, as the autumn rain continues to fall upon the Chillhop office. When two musicians interact with their own individual approaches the result occasionally resonates in something special, this is one of those times. The mellow tones of Yaspers' acoustic attributes blend seamlessly with Moods neo-soul tinged melodies, guiding us through this relaxing EP 'Sofa Stories'.

"Happy" / "Things I Should Have Said" two-sided single out now: smarturl.it/sotjhappy

Sons Of The James is a new duo project from singer/songwriter Rob Milton and producer/musician DJ Harrison, inspired by a blend of classic Gospel music and early 2000's Soulquarians era R&B and Soul.

The B-side, featuring the legendary Georgia Anne Muldrow (the literal inventor of the phrase "stay woke" on the Erykah Badu song "Master Teacher"), was recently featured on season 4 of Issa Rae's hit show 'Insecure' on HBO. 

Rob Milton had this to say about the project's inception – "In 2015 I recorded the album of my dreams in Richmond, Virginia with DJ Harrison. Sad to say that the energy was similar at the time [as it is now]. I was coming home from BLM protests and writing songs about love to escape from the anger."

In support of Black Lives Matter, all label income from Bandcamp sales of this single will be matched by Fresh Selects and donated to various bail fund charities and organizations fighting to defund the police.

From the backwaters of New Orleans, founder of the Mystery Zone imprint and parties Hiatt dB bursts onto the international scene with glorious technicolour debut EP ‘Palimpsest’, marking our first recruit from the US of A. Having grown up in the Gulf Coast’s San Antonio, Hiatt made the move to New Orleans in 2015 with his heart set on exporting the sound of the Gulf South to the global discourse. Here, newly exposed influences from the Mediterranean to West Africa, Brazil through to the Caribbean motivated him to begin making dance music and performing as a percussionist and DJ.

True to the drum city, Hiatt doesn’t let up on the rhythmic assault. From joyful piano stabs and dizzying percussive crescendos in ‘Sun Spell’ to the intricate snare rudiment of ‘Palimpsest’; the sizzling, hypnotic ‘Big Easy’ stylings of ‘6 O’Clock Rock’ to basking in the euphoric, sparkling breaks of ‘Everyday Break’. It’s the warm afterglow you need as the journey of the record comes to it’s triumphant conclusion. We couldn’t be happier to have Hiatt dB joining the RS family.

Brooklyn-based Singer-songwriter/producer James Tillman blesses our ears in the form of his thrilling masterpiece ‘Arizona’, the second single from the Various Channels NYC compilation. Haunting synth lines accompanied by a tight percussive groove, ‘Arizona’ is a journey through the off beaten path that rides steady into the sunset with Tillman’s heavenly vocals carrying away all weight of the world. 
Having garnered comparisons to Marvin Gaye, Nick Drake to name a few, alongside being featured on NPR about landing a sync on Netflix’s ‘Dear White People’, Tillman’s reach has grown from strength to strength, from headlining shows in Tokyo, to a residency at Brooklyn’s Pioneer Works, pay attention to this rising soul star.

Deeply inspired by the new wave of creative energy in New York City, Darker Than Wax is proud to present ‘Various Channels Vol. 1 : NYC’. Curated by selector Marco Weibel, the compilation serves as a snapshot of a moment in time, highlighting key artists at the forefront of NYC’s blooming music ecosystem.

These previews are 128kbps so don't be a lemon.
It's great to have Hot Toddy pay us another visit, here are some kind words from the folks at Juno about the release 

Three years on from his latest solo outing, Crazy P founder member Chris Todd AKA Hot Toddy returns to House of Disco with a predictably fine four-tracker. Our pick of a very strong bunch is the toughened up, revivalist electrofunk flex of "Wilde Touch", where clipped guitar riffs, crunchy Clavinet lines and colourful melodies ride a rubbery bassline, though the Paper Recordings-era Crazy P deep house/disco fusion of "Still We Are" is almost as impressive. Speaking of Crazy P, lead singer Danielle Moore lends her distinctive vocals to the Imagination-ish Brit-boogie business of "Positive Emotion", while the EP's other track, opener "Synthesize", is a darker and more spaced-out chunk of weighty, bassline-driven nu-boogie goodness.

Deeply inspired by the new wave of creative energy in New York City, the label is proud to present ‘Various Channels Vol. 1 : NYC’ - a compilation highlighting key artists at the forefront of NYC’s blooming music ecosystem, curated by selector Marco Weibel. While Darker Than Wax was born in Singapore, our satellite (or second) home is NYC.

A key figure behind Darker Than Wax since its early days, Marco moved to NYC in 2014, and has continued to establish a humble presence for the label through his tireless work as a DJ, Curator, Promoter & Radio Host. Within 6 years, Marco has seen New York’s underground grow through artists’ continual efforts to push the envelope and blur the lines between sounds. Thanks in part to uncompromising venues and community spaces such as The Lot Radio in Brooklyn (where Marco is running our weekly radio show alongside label peer Mawkus), a fresh crop of producers and DJs are elevating the music of NYC.

This compilation serves as a snapshot of this moment in time, spotlighting select artists making waves - including Jitwam, James Tillman, Toribio, Ensemble Entendu, David Marston and Tristan Arp. This project is also personal to Marco’s experience of digging deep into the city and connecting with kindred spirits, the selections reflecting the creative energy of his close musical family, who traverse eclectic sound spectrums from R&B/Soul, Balearic Grooves, House, Broken Beat and beyond.

Summer has finally arrived and Tender Games surprises us with his “Thunder EP”, a lively potpourri of uptempo disco, smooth slow jams, and funky hot tunes. Put on some sunscreen, pack your swimsuit and stay hydrated when the German-Jamaican producer takes us on a journey to discover his interpretation of 70s disco and funk music and early 90s R&B because it’s gonna be a hot one. With his typical soulful voice and playful production style, Tender Games creates a fresh version of modern poolside disco.
