There’s nothing cold about the music of WAYNE SNOW. The Nigerian-born neo-soul artist has been channeling the sun-kissed, soulful vibes of his homeland ever since his first encounter with a synthesizer as a child. Now Berlin-based, Snow has been spreading warmth and his unique creative vision across the globe together with Roche Musique and highly acclaimed collaborations with FKJ, Folamour, Darius, Max Graef and Glenn Astro. And now he stands ready to release Figurine, his most ambitious solo project yet.  

Across it’s ten tracks, Snow deftly weaves neo-soul, alternative pop, R&B, soultronica, and hints of jazz into a mesmerizing stew. His music is studied and stylish, quiet passages of calm giving way to vivid bursts of energy and colour. Produced together with Crayon, Nu Guinea, Brandt Brauer Frick and featuring acclaimed future-jazz artist Oscar Jerome, Snow employs a delightful array of neat details and flourishes that highlight his compositional brilliance. 

Four years in the making, Figurine is a conceptual, personal work of depth and reflection, one that critically considers humanity’s obsession with masks and our creation of avatars. Inspired as much by nature and the work of social psychologist Erich Fromm, as the music of Fela Kuti and King Sunny Ade, Figurine is not a full stop. Rather, it’s an invitation – to think, to probe, and to sink into Snow’s bright, storied music. 

It’s a record based around a simple question - “Who is the real you?” – and led Snow to explore rebirth, individuality, and our unhealthy obsession with social media. Love and our increasing sense of alienation are deconstructed, as is the reality of modern day relationships. And intertwined with all this is Snow’s Nigerian heritage, and the deep sense of pride and admiration he feels towards his country of birth. 

Figurine’s visual identity have been crafted by the album’s Art / Video Director Travys Owen, a collaboration in every sense with another truly visionary artist. The tightly knit creative team was lead by the award winning producer Allison Swank, recent winner of the IMDB Independent Shorts Awards, known for her work with the likes of The Roots, Flying Lotus, Erykah Badu, Mumford & Sons and Burnaboy. Shot across  Tankwa Karoo National Park, Johannesburg and Cape Town, the accompanying videos pay homage to Afrofuturism and the vibrancy and beauty of his homeland. Contemporarily styled, figurines dance through otherworldly, colourful landscapes, exploring relationships, both to each other and to nature. The sense of life -of vitality – is palpable; his music, and the message it conveys, is equally as alive. 

Following a string of singles which received critical acclaim from NPR Music, The Evening Standard, Vogue, BBC Radio 1 + 6 Music, Le Monde, Clash, The Vinyl Factory, Notion, Afropunk and L’Obs amongst many others, Wayne recently stepped up to the COLORS stage to deliver a breath taking live performance of the album title track.

We Are Coming

Here is my latest 12" release on Ninja Tune, “Wobble Control.” A synth-heavy, low slung 4/4 number featuring a wiggling centipede of a keys line which will get under your nose in erotic ways you’ve never dreamt of, plus a goodly dollop of unruly bass. The sound of electronic instruments getting together while their parents are out and having a good time. (I hope that sick will come out of the carpet).

Dear Followers, 

This is an official preview mix of a release called "Elemental: Water". It is a very special album, which we were curating over 2 years. It is directly inspired by life and philosophy of the great Bruce Lee.  If it wasn't for Master's wisdom, our adventure as a label would never come to reality.
Full Story can be found on the Foundation's website: https://impact.bruceleefoundation.org/fundraiser/2221403/

Bruce Lee Foundation is hosting a fundraiser for the vinyl record that will be used to support the foundation in the end. Every support is golden. Every supporter will obtain a download link to any of our albums! 

This is not only for us. 40% of sales of the album after pressing will be donated to Bruce Lee Foundation! Remaining 60% will be used toward pressing another volume of Elemental, which again will be used to donate etc. 

So, by backing up this project not only You are helping talented artists to get their music on the vinyl, but you also create a mechanism that will support Bruce Lee Foundation in the future. 

We would love to give you a gift for supporting as well. Every backer will obtain a download link to one of our releases!
