Darker Than Wax show #9 on Worldwide Fm | 21st May 2019

At the age of 23, Barbara and four of her closest friends formed a band that would later develop into "Alter Disco" - which is today one of Brazil's most important collectives of Underground Dance Music. In a country that is more and more starting to feel the suffocating grip of political suppression, the collective's events were an example of escapism, longing for a freedom of expression and happiness as well as mutual acceptance and tolerance, all tied together by a re-discovering and reclaiming of old-school Brazilian pop culture. 

This sentiment is also expressed in the present mix which Bárbara kindly agreed to record for 5918mins. With spring arriving in Europe, it perfectly encapsulates the relief many of us are feeling after a long winter. Notwithstanding the current situation, this mix gives a glimpse into happier and sunnier days and hopefully convinces people to have their drinks and dances at home rather than out in the park. We also hope that Barbara and everyone in Brazil stays safe as the pandemic is about to hit a country run by a man that has seemingly taken nothing onboard from the lessons that we have been learning all over the world.

All of you out there, keep well and healthy!

< "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.
