Can't believe 2017 is almost over! It's been another year of learning, growing and harnessing patience. Believing in the natural process is always very important, and letting the energy flow through every aspect of one's life is key to maintaining awareness and a balanced attitude.
I'm back with no.19 in the IN 30 series - heaps of 4/4 nuggets in this one tho. Been feeling a lot of the uptempo cuts of late. Hope you soak this one in, and see y'all in the new L-O-O-P.

< "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.

The alias of Ryan Cheng, The Weatherman is the Singaporean’s artistic core; an overarching multihyphenated potpourri of talents and offerings that transcends the role of an ordinary DJ, culminating embodied practices into curated gatherings.

The expression as an audiophilic selector is constantly in flux while dexterously controlled, manifesting in jazz-sprinkled deep house, psychedelic electronica, experimental Balearic, meditative ambient and beyond. 

Like the weather, Ryan’s repertoire is pleasantly unpredictable, embracing the changes and is one of Southeast Asia’s most exciting DJs to hear.
