I am pleased to announce that Volume 2 of my “Essential Knowledge” mixtape is finally available as a free download and limited edition cassette (only 100 made). This music will not be available on any other major streaming platforms (such as Spotify, Apple Music, etc).  

Essential Knowledge Volume 2 continues where volume 1 left off - with a special twist - I teamed up with the legendary “DJ Grazzhoppa'' to complete the tape. First I sent him Volume 1 and explained the concept. After he agreed to team up with me on it, I ended up sending him a folder of beats that he turned into an hour mix (blended live). After hearing it and giving the green light he went in and did most of the remixes you hear (live and on vinyl). To wrap it up I ended up taking the recordings he did and sprinkling in some skits, extra remixes, extra FX, etc. What you get is a seamless blend of beats, remixes, skits, scratch routines, and more. I also worked with the same artist (Barf Comics / James Callahan) and graphic designer (WeztMaad / Jesus Nefario) from Volume 1 to bring the package to life. To me, this is my best (at least my favorite) attempt at a project like this - I believe it’s a true successor to Volume 1 and I can’t wait to hear what you all think. 

For physical goods I have the following available:

- DJ Grazzhoppa will also have half the copies available for people in Europe soon
- All purchases include 1 of 1 art by me and other bonus items

Cassette (40 available) - $25
Includes cassette & stickers

Es-K Vol. 2 Bundle (10 available) - $60 (2x Cassettes, 1x CD, 2x LPs)
Cassette & Stickers
Building Bridges Vol. 1 CD
Building Bridges Vol. 1 12” Record
Bonus cassette from my stash
Bonus 12” LP from my stash

I included Building Bridges in the bundle because Steele and I are getting ready to release Vol 2 (May 3rd!) - I wanted to give people a chance to get some of the last copies from my collection (plus some extras). Speaking of, I am also doing a mini pop-up shop - making some things available from my collection for the last time ever. 

Pop-up shop:
Type Raw x Es-K “Raw Essentials” Double LP
Es-K “Only So Much Time” LP 
Es-K “Continuance LP”
Es-K & General Steele “Building Bridges Vol. 1” LP

Aaaand of course, we also have some limited edition merch at my online store (beatsbyesk[dot]com). Speaking of, shoutouts to everyone who got the MPC designs! This drop is a bit different, because it’s not art that I made myself - but we will return to the Es-K art after this is up for a month or so. I’m such a huge fan of the mixtape art that I just had to see it on some clothes. Shoutouts again to the amazing artist “Barf Comics” (James Callahan).

BEATS: Es-K (Sp404mk2, MPC live)
SCRATCHES & BLEND: DJ Grazzhoppa
ARTWORK: James Callahan (barfcomics)
DESIGN & LAYOUT: Weztmaad aka Zonda Vision

N 30 #8

Just came back from our showcases in Shanghai and Beijing, and I am feeling super invigorated. Being able to converse in Mandarin with Howie Lee and the Do Hits! crew certainly brought us closer together, and we are currently planning a quarterly residency with them in Beijing - Keep an eye out for that, but in the meantime, soak up the latest IN 30. Slightly rough around the edges in certain segments, but hey there's the beauty of improvisation. I hope you enjoy the selections nonetheless.

< "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.
