Artifacts 07 with Dean Chew | July 2021

@darkerthanwax

For kindred souls Dean Chew and Kevin Guoh aka Kaye, co-founders of Singapore-based Darker Than Wax, A&R (spearheaded by Dean) is one of the most fundamental factors — artwork, aesthetics, marketing, remixes are all just as important ingredients to a tasty release, but the base is who they’re dealing with. Kevin eloquently sums up this part of the process, “it’s‌ ‌sussing‌ ‌out‌ ‌the‌ ‌personality‌ ‌types‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌artist‌ ‌as‌ ‌quickly‌ ‌as‌ ‌possible‌ ‌when‌ ‌we’re‌ ‌in‌ ‌early‌ ‌discussions‌ ‌with‌ ‌them.‌ ‌If‌ ‌I‌ ‌smell‌ ‌a‌ ‌hint‌ ‌of‌ ‌diva,‌ ‌I’m‌ ‌out.‌ ‌I‌ ‌don’t‌ ‌care‌ ‌how‌ ‌good‌ ‌you‌ ‌are.‌ ‌Life‌ ‌is‌ ‌difficult‌ ‌enough,‌ ‌don’t‌ ‌really‌ ‌need‌ ‌someone‌ ‌else‌ ‌to‌ ‌make‌ ‌my‌ ‌life‌ ‌more‌ ‌difficult.‌”

Wayne Snow w/ Àbáse - August 2021

Following a prosperous career in music and poetry, Detroit-based musician and performer Malik Alston readies his vibrant album ‘Malik Alston Presents Painted Pictures: Air’ set for release via The Jazz Diaries. The album is a spirited celebration between jazz virtuosity and Motor City house music, showcasing Alston’s roots in Jazz, Gospel, Soul and Dance Music. 

Alston’s story is one that is intrinsically aligned with the story of Detroit itself. Having hosted one of the first Slum Village concerts, and teaching vocal lessons to many members of the Detroit music community. His production and writing collaborations read like a who’s who of Detroit artists including Alton Miller, Amp Fiddler, Roy Davis Jr. & Javonntte and releases on Moodymann’s Mahogani Music to name a few.

“‘When I think of ‘Air’... for me, it exists to express a combination of freedom, self awareness, and doing something different and new. In ‘Air’ you get to really hear the band as a whole, no one stands out individually. It was all a matter of showing that we brought the music to life together as a unit. ‘Air’ is definitely a true reflection of what Painted Pictures was: free musicians who play good music.”

LUCK GROOVE 7

(Beat: Imagine a 808 on a snowmobile with a poutine bass drop)
Hook
Écœurant d’écureuil sur CNBC, osti qu’ça bull!
Un flash d’queue grise, ton portefeuille full!
Squirrel Indicator, 100 % pas d’trouble,
J’te fais millionnaire en mangeant des graines dans l’câble!
Câlisse, quand j’passe, les shorts chient dans l’pantalon,
J’ai des nuts plus grosses que l’portefeuille à Desmarais, tabarnak!
Verse 1
Janvier 2021, j’me gèle l’cul sur l’balcon d’la bourse,
J’fais un moonwalk su’l ledge, j’pète une crotte en 4K live, of course,
Reddit voit mon pelage, toute la gang pète une veine,
« GME TO THE MOON, on vend la maison d’la mère à Germaine! »
J’fais un twerk d’queue, le SPY fait +12 % en deux secondes,
Melvin Gabe Plotkin chiale en français dans l’fond,
« Ma femme va me laisser, j’ai perdu l’REER des enfants! »
Moi j’me garroche une gland, j’lui fais « Check ton ex sur Tinder, mon homme. »
Verse 2
J’revient l’lendemain, j’pisse sur l’lentille d’la caméra,
Jim Cramer fait une crise, « THE SQUIRREL IS BACK, SACRAMENT! »
Robinhood bloque les achats, j’me trouve un cousin à Montréal,
Y court dans l’centre de données, ronge un câble Bell,
Toute l’app crash, les Américains crient « FIX IT! »
Nous autres on rit en mangeant d’la poutine sur l’perron du Tim,
J’ai juste à shaker mon boule une fois pis c’est l’jackpot,
Ton 200 $ en calls vaut maintenant une maison à Mascouche, tabarnak!
Hook
Écœurant d’écureuil sur CNBC, osti qu’ça bull!
Un flash d’queue grise, ton portefeuille full!
Squirrel Indicator, plus fort que TA, plus fort que RSI,
J’te fais plus riche qu’un crypto bro qui a vendu son Shiba Inu en 2021!
Outro
Faque oublie tes graphiques, tes lignes de tendance pis tes wedges,
Quand tu vois mon cul poilu sur l’écran, tu loades la caisse au complet,
J’te fais millionnaire en une seconde pis j’te charge rien,
Juste un p’tit sac de peanuts au miel, sacrament.
Squirrel Gang Québec – on contrôle Wall Street pis Bay Street,
Pis si t’es short… ben bonne chance, mon homme, t’es fucké.
J’te drop une gland dans l’urnes à votes, peace out, crisse.

< "Dean Chew is setting the standards in Singapore" - Gilles Peterson >

Earning praises from a worldwide range of selectors that include the likes of Dam-Funk, Tama Sumo, San-Soda, Mike Huckaby, Jamie XX and 2562, 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 leftfield music through his widely eclectic and genre-bending sets. Being the main A+R and creative mastermind 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, house, techno, breaks, 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 Gilles Peterson, Benji B, Kyle Hall, Lefto, Recloose, Gerd Janson, Basic Soul Unit, Linkwood, Norman Jay, Souleance, Pearson Sound, Krystal Klear, Tiger and Woods, Mike Huckaby, Seven Davis Jnr and most notably, warmed up for Dj Ez, Fourtet and Dam Funk.
His sets have also taken him around the world, playing most recently at Dimensions Festival in Croatia, various cities in Europe, Asia, and Brazil. In 2016, Funk B was also invited on BBC 1XTRA, Rinse RM, Radar Radio, and swung through the legendary Brownswood basement of Gilles Peterson with a 2-hour exclusive Worldwide FM mix. He is also a regular presenter on Gilles' Worldwide Fm, transmitting good vibes every 3rd Tuesday of the month.

Dean Chew always has something in the box that surprises. Just open those ears.
