Darker Than Wax FM w/ Marco Weibel @ The Lot Radio 10 - 10 - 2020

An all vinyl program that focuses primarily on lesser known soul and funk music from the 1960s - 80s. The show also expands into genres such as jazz, disco, reggae, gospel, psych, folk and beyond. I try to play music that resonates with me in a profound way, in hopes that someone might also connect with it as well. Expect to hear music you have never heard before as well as classics that make you feel good. The show often includes a great mix of guests, often who are heavy collectors in the record community.

Earning praises from a worldwide range of selectors that include the likes of Gilles Peterson, Dam-Funk, Tama Sumo, San-Soda, Mike Huckaby, Lefto and many more, Dean aka the Funk Bast*rd (one half of the Cosa nostra duo and co-founder of Singapore-based label Darker Than Wax) has been tirelessly pushing and promoting an alternative expression of lefteld music through his widely eclectic and genre-bending sets. Being the main A+R and creative mind behind DTW, the label has flourished tremendously over the past 5 years, cementing its place as one of the go-to labels out of South East Asia.

His musical selection, which traverses between a huge variety of musical genres like deep jazz, soul, funk, boogie, brazilian grooves, deep house, hip hop and bass numbers have left many indelible marks on the dancefloors.

It’s no surprise then that he has played alongside some of the world’s finest like Kyle Hall, Lefto, Recloose, Gerd Janson, Basic Soul Unit, Linkwood, Norman Jay, Souleance, Ramadanman / Pearson Sound, Krystal Klear, Tiger and Woods, Mike Huckaby, Seven Davis Jnr and most notably, warmed up for Dj Ez, Fourtet, Kamaal Williams and Dam Funk .

His sets have also taken him around the world, playing most recently in New York, Brazil, Switzerland, Paris, London and Shanghai, just to name a few. In 2016, Funk B was also invited on BBC 1XTRA, Radar Radio, and swung through the legendary Brownswood basement of Gilles Peterson with a 2-hour exclusive Worldwide FM mix. Following that, he has most recently completed 3 tours in Europe, and played at Dimensions Festival in 2018. It comes with no surprise then that he has secured a monthly radio spot on the highly esteemed Worldwide FM.

The Funk Bast*rd always has something in the box that surprises. Just open those ears.
