Following the release of their debut ’Bodyclock‘ series in 2020, Singaporean label Darker Than Wax now unveil the second volume of the series, presenting the identity of the label’s sprawling worldwide family. The first volume, a natural extension of the label’s DNA, illustrated an attack of nocturnal club sounds, rooted in the culture curated by the pioneers of dancefloor music. BodyClock Vol.2 sees the new school of producers push the limits of musical self-discovery.

Compiled by DTW label co-founder Dean Chew, ‘Bodyclock Vol.2’ sees Darker Than Wax curating a cross-continental offering, highlighting the work of eight producers living around the world - dipping into the respective scenes of Vancouver, Osaka & Tokyo, Cape Town, Vienna, Karachi, Amsterdam & beyond. ‘Bodyclock Vol.2’ takes listeners on a globally diverse and greatly vivid dance journey.

Opening with Laza’s ‘WTBWH’ (the project’s first single) - the record’s pace is quickly set, with intense, driving drum patterns and soulful reverberating keys. Throughout the project, acid laced tracks from label alumni Akio Nagase and newcomer Tollcrane meet left-field ethereal movements from B.Visible and Teo Mattress. Joined by RGL’s 80’s-esque sleazy sonics and UNOS’s 2-step drums and oscillating basslines. BodyClock Vol.2 is closed out by Tiro!’s ‘Charcuterie’ - which rolls gently through the ether, supplying icey keys and calming frequencies. Another essential slice of worldwide dancefloor action from the Darker Than Wax camp.

Artifacts 06 with Dean Chew on radio alHara | 11 March 2021

Via Matt McDermott for resident Advisor reviews:

"I'm a true believer in the importance of not losing touch with the roots of a genre," Michel Baumann, AKA Soulphiction, told 5 Mag last year. This reverent tone flows through the music Baumann released over his 30-year-career, a trove of top-notch deep and minimal house tracks that are still being revealed even after he succumbed to cancer last month.

A new EP from Jonna and Javonntte, featuring remixes from Soulphiction and Marcellus Pittman, presents an opportunity to look over Baumann's role within the tradition of deep, soulful house. On the original version of "Jus Move," Javonntte, the underrated and diverse Detroit producer and vocalist, teams up with Jonna for an effortless and richly musical vocal house track. Rhodes chords hang in the air, perfectly enmeshed with Javonntte's soulful tenor.

It's those blue piano chords that form the basis for Baumann's dreamy, contemplative remix. Baumann developed his taste for house music as a DJ and record store employee in Stuttgart around the time the Berlin Wall came down. Throughout his career, whether referencing Electrifying Mojo or Larry Levan, he pursued a respectful homage to the Black roots of house. For his remix of "Jus Move," it sounds like he loaded the original Rhodes stems into the MPC, applied a light-touch cut-up method and some filtering to the bassline. The track achieves a dusty, bittersweet feel that's been attempted by many but accomplished by few outside of the Motor City.

The second half of that quote up top went, "... the history of house influences huge parts of my DJ sets opposed to playing my own tracks." It's safe to say Baumann would have been caning the Marcellus Pittman remix. The Unirhythm head comes up with his own catchy piano line and monster bassline, notching up another classic for the Detroit beatdown sound. As a whole, the record feels poignant, celebratory and timeless. When this release came together, no one knew Baumann would pass away before it came out. However, it's clear that he would have been proud to be featured alongside these artists, a small society of house heads who believe in the healing, authentic power that courses through this music.

Footshooter 'Libations & Movement EP' The remixes 

After the amazing Libations & Movement EP release of summer 2020, Footshooter is back with a hand picked bunch of top producers on remix duties. 

Repurposed and reimagined, the remixes go on a journey. From the delicate rolling Deep House vibes of William Florelle on ‘Malaika ft MO.MOYO. Florelle is a fast growing producer talent championed by the likes of Wot Not Music among others. 

To the mesmerising tribal bruk drum track from Fernando Damon, a drummer and producer from Cape Town, South Africa and Gilles Peterson fave. Fernando takes ‘Catch My Breath’ on a drum workout! It just keeps you locked in as the horns from Wilf Petherbridge build in and around this intensely hypnotic drum pattern. It commands attention! 

Then into some low fi skippy House niceness, ‘Lay’ ft Natty Wylah is remixed by the elusive Jackson Almond. (BBE, Wot Not, Eton Messy) Straight up dance heat, big biznez but somehow still maintains a laid back vibe. And if that wasn’t enough, Jackson also delivers a heavy Bruk jam of ‘Malaika’ ft MO.MOYO. This time with synth lasers and big basslines, ripe for dance!

Xtra Brux brings a ruff and tuff rendition of ‘Slipped Back’ ft Izzy risk, but keeps it on a level, allowing her full vocal to shine, if you know Brux this is unusual! 

Then from Tiff’s Joints Boss and Touching Bass member Sean Keating aka Poison Zcora, is another hypnotic tribal drum groove. ‘Malaika’ ft MA.MOYO, this time with a steady 4 x 4 riddim dancing with the congas and bass synth, while MA.MOYO’s vocal reminds us of that deep deep bass!

Finishing off with a more cinematic and ambient vibe from Romaal Kultan, flipping ‘Slipped Back’ ft Izzy Risk on its head and into a dream, lying in the grass with daisies, looking into the sky making shapes out of clouds! Seriously tho, this went on repeat about 20 times!! Just beautiful, no more words needed really !
