This may not be to everyone's liking, especially if you have been tuning consistently to my IN 30 mixes, which primarily focuses on the varying shades of hip-hop, funk and experimental beats. House and Techno have always been a staple in my record collection, particularly with NY and Chicago house music being an indelible part of my journey.

'Lights Out' is an extension of the DTW spirit essentially, and it showcases some of the cuts that are on constant rotation in my sets. After all, there really isn't a need to categorise music. It's all about a feeling.

< "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.

no low vibing sketchy-ass energy penetrate thy aura

and will such melody cure me of my suffering
