Darker Than Wax Presents: DTW SINGLES

Darker Than Wax may have established their bedroom/headphones sound with their recent steady flow of diverse releases - but they also thrive on the heavier side of the spectrum. 
Organising gigs and parties comes with running a music label - revered nights such as the Brown Bag Series (with menswear label SIFR), DMZ (with Midnight Shift), 3rd Party (with Velvet Underground / Zouk), and more recently, Beats N Beyond has allowed DTW to showcase its appreciation towards a more club-oriented sound, and the ability to keep feet shuffling and heads bopping.

With DTW Singles, our artists and affiliates are given a chance to express a rousing dimension of the label's sounds - ranging from Chicago and Detroit-influenced House bangers, UK Bass / Garage to South side Deep Trap, all while still maintaining the distinct soul and rhythm - but wired for an all-nighter. We are all accustomed to that feeling.

Launching this series is Samuel Truth, a producer from Auckland, New Zealand. After being acquainted with DTW through Twitter, his diversity and competence in his production style was a hit with listeners, who lapped up his free downloads, such as 'Caspian' and a remix of 'J Holiday - Bed'. Most recently his self-released monster 'Rua' has cemented him as one of the names to look out for, even earning new fans in the form of Majestic Casual, Potholes In My blog and many others.

'Thrillho' propels the Trap sound with incredible groove and sets off with a warm and heavy bass - a good starter to get any floor moving. 

DTW SINGLES will be available for sale exclusively on our DTW Bandcamp page. So please be kind and show some love to the artists!

TERR023 - JD Reid - Maneki Neko E.P.
Released 7th April 2014

London based producer JD. Reid steps up to the platter with a bevy of beauties for his Terrorhythm debut, in the shape of the Maneki Neko E.P.

This 5 track E.P. coolly connects the listener with JD's ear for soulful sonics, tinged with sub rumbling bass.

Having been hotly tipped as one to watch at the tail end of last year after the success of "88", and his productions for UK Hip Hop stars Piff Gang and ItsNate, there was always a high expectation of something really special to come in 2014. Opening up with "Ralph", it's evident that that special something has announced itself. Joining the dots between grime and instrumental hip hop, with a nod to the LA beats movement, the E.P. continues to dazzle throughout it's journey.

In a time when it's becoming difficult to discover truly unique music, JD. Reid delivers on all fronts. Don't sleep on this one!

If you’ve been longing to hear Katuchat’s latest work as much as we have, we have some great new for you ! He’s back at it with his new EP Lapis Lazuli. The Katuchat touch is still very much present in the quality of production and sounds development, carrying us into his world, yearning for more. For those of you who remember his EP Lonely Cloud, you can still feel those Katuchat trademark Sound Waves, coming and going through every beat. Mesmerizing. This is crisp. And as such, it should come as no surprise that this anticipated EP fulfils our expectances. The contemplative and introspective approach from his Japanese influences have developed into a wide demonstration of skills, allowing him to take us even further down the path of his professional musical career.
