Hey everybody, here we are with our second tune! Unfortunately we’re forced to leave our recording studio next month, so we named this jazzy tune „Harzer Straße“ to keep all the inspiring & creative sessions we had in the past 2 years in good memory. We hope you enjoy listening to this record!

Introducing a fresh face to the Darker Than Wax sonic universe - Singapore’s own Bongomann. One of the most exciting new selectors to emerge from the label’s hometown, his first foray into production encapsulates the eclectic and optimistic energy he brings to the decks. The aptly titled Smiles EP explores diverse rhythms and influences across its five cuts, from the outernational rave sounds melding together on ‘CHIPS’ and the titular track, the laidback Rhodes-driven soul of ‘Thanks’, to the jumpy garage weirdness of ‘Mongo’. Also featuring on the EP is fellow Singaporean up-and-comer Halal Sol, gracing ‘Deeperluv (Get It)’ with his signature style that channels the vibe of 4x4 legends like Tuff Jam and Todd Edwards.

This collection of tracks reflects the bubbling energy present in the current Singapore scene, and at the same time glimmers with shades of Melbourne soul - the city that gave the artist much of his education in underground music. Built for the club but revealing its depth on closer listening, Smiles aims to invoke the purest feelings of joy that we seek on the dancefloor.

Bongomann - Smiles [Smiles EP]

Music Is My Sanctuary is excited to share the cinematic, post-rock infused intensity of Waldo’s Gift’s “Bergson”. Taken from forthcoming compilation, "New Horizons; A Bristol Jazz Sound", which provides and excellent and much needed overview of Bristol overlooked but vibrant jazz scene.

Bristolian promoters Worm Disco Club have been championing South-Western talent since their inception in 2014. Having collaborated with Glastonbury Festival on their notorious ‘Wormhole’ stage and hosted the likes of The Comet Is Coming, The Heliocentrics and The Mauskovic Dance Band at their regular club night, the name has become synonymous with quality groove laden goodness, percussive madness, jazz, psych and beyond.

Now proudly presenting their label Worm Discs, the collective recruit some of Bristol’s most notable emerging talent for an exploration into the new wave of Jazz emanating from the city for their debut outing 'New Horizons : A Bristol Jazz Sound' .  An album which channels the seismic energy of the sonically rich landscape into 11 progressive, psychedelic, impeccably crafted tracks.

The Worm Discs team explain: “The idea for this record began back in 2019. We had been curating parties in Bristol featuring jazz acts from around the UK for several years and had just hosted “The Wormhole” at Glastonbury Festival, featuring an all-star line-up from the scene. Having always felt that Bristol’s exciting jazz scene deserved to be heard, the idea for a label was born. We wanted to showcase some individual creativity and open up a space to try something different.”

From the cinematic, post-rock infused intensity of Waldo’s Gift’s “Bergson” to the zen-like, floating melodies of Ishamel Ensemble’s rework of Snazzback’s “Flump” and the angular textures of Run Logan Run’s epic “A Sea Of Apathy And Indifference” - this record is true odyssey from start to finish, for those who really want take a trip down the Wormhole.

Darker Than Wax show #24 on Worldwide Fm | Aug 2020

Earlier this year the Aussie producer Zen In Space dropped his debut album Earth Tones on Pharmaceutical Audio, a record label but know primarily as a trespass series of gatherings occurring in industrial/demolition sites in urban Australia. 

In the follow up rework project Allysha Joy strips back 'Jannali' in almost emancipatory fashion, creating an ethereal warmth from a groove sojourned in a state of vocal confession.

< "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.
