Raashan Ahmad was on a euro tour some weeks ago and during his stop in Berlin we were talking music over dinner. I told Raashan that we are about to release an album with Ta-ku (which has happened in the meantime, check out the "DOWHATYOULOVE" album) and he asked me whether I knew that he recorded a full album with him some time ago during his last australian tour. No, I didn't know that and getting my hand on the album turned out to be not too easy as it couldn't be located for quite a while. In the end Raashan found it on an old hard drive and I was a fan of the album instantly. It's raw hip hop in the truest sense. None of the songs are longer then 3 minutes, quite some are around the 2 minute mark. Nothing but dope beats and raps with some unreleased Ta-ku instrumentals sprinkled in between. 

In celebration of both artists releases on Jakarta Records this year we figured it would be nice to give it away for free digitally and even better we decided that pressing it on wax would be nice too. Only 250 copies, numbered, no repress, the first 80 copies on clear wax.

Those who have been following us for a while, might remember Faraji Heritage Experiment's "A/R/T" project from 2012. This Bandcamp demo was a mere taste of greater things to come and the time for this coming is upon us.

The Moroccan composer is back on the set with a brand new project, entitled "Nafsi". It means soul or being in Swahili. Hussein Ibn Faraji discovered his grandfather's name was not Arabic, but Swahili. This inspired him to bring together musicians of various backgrounds and have them use swahili nicknames. The same way Herbie Hancock and other Jazz men did back in in the seventies.

Cosmonostro will be releasing this project April 20th and we are delighted to exclusively premiere the amazing "Ode To Wattstax".

Premiere: Grillz - Skylines

Im pretty sure dad was bumping The stylistics before I was born, so Its only right I sample them (20 years later).

Another sample from the amazing voice of Jackie Wilson (totally underrated).

And the 3rd sample is so obvious... Lets just say 2020 will be an interesting year. 

Peace.

SHUKO & F.OF.AUDIOTREATS - NIGHT RIDES

Premiere on Vinyl Of The Day :
http://cratedig.us/asiansoundwaves

>> www.darkerthanwax.com

Second edition of my 'Asian Soundwaves' mix series - In the past few years, I have been venturing into the universe closer to home, and there's so many gems to  be unearthed especially in the South East Asian region. The mix focuses predominantly on the deeper sounds of Indonesia, Singapore and Taiwan with the occasional dashes of Japanese jazz-funk and edits. Artists like Judy Teng, Chen Qiao Mei and Shi Lun on the Singaporean label Tony have experimented with the disco and funk sounds, and not forgetting their Indonesian counterparts, who also embodied an equally adventurous spirit in re-interpreting their roots. Do make a point to discover Yoel Crizal, Bimbo 80, Keenan Naustion, Ade Manuhutu and Arial Yunior if what you hear in the next 50 mins piques your curiosity.
Special shouts go out to my main man, Munir aka https://soundcloud.com/midnightrunners (who has been very kind to share some of his extensive knowledge), and the highly dedicated Mr Ong of the iconic Red Point Record Warehouse - it's always a dangerous temptation when I step into his space, because he would very likely have a stack of chinese records to recommend!

< "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.
