Presenting 'Dots,' the latest musical venture by the talented Naima Faraò.
This soulful and introspective album transcends genres, blending the captivating elements of contemporary jazz, soul, and RnB. A captivating journey that mirrors the artist's profound perspective, 'Dots' invites listeners to explore the nuances of solitary moments, the strength in closure, and the resilience found in the smallest details.

The album is heralded by the mesmerizing single, "Buoyancy Of Water" featuring the renowned Ilhan Ersahin. Naima Faraò's evocative quote sets the tone for the album, describing the dot as a symbol of conclusion and the beginning of new chapters. Each dot encapsulates stories, layers of experiences, and the opening of new scenarios, making it a potent metaphor for the artist's introspective journey.
"Dots" is not just an album; it's a process of elaboration and rebirth. It echoes thoughts born from the collisions of real life, an intricate and delicate inward journey to grasp suspended moments and unite the points of an ever- changing trajectory.

As the album unfolds, Naima Faraò invites you to join her on a musical exploration of new territories, unfamiliar paths, and the courage to push beyond. "Dots" is more than a collection of tracks; it's an immersive experience that unveils the beauty found in the details and the courage required to evolve.

< "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.
