E S O T E R I C - Dutchy feat. CMO

Mood

Philippe Edison - Sentiment (Alt. Take)

The first Billy Dukes release ‘Its Over’ is the foundation of these two artists. With no chorus, the Dukes go bar for bar about how they started their music journey separately and how they have come together. 

This song isn’t just about the 2 artists (@Intalektmusic x @ge3free) joining forces but about pushing the culture forward and using different strengths and skills from both artists to do this. With Intalekt’s production and new found rapping skill set alongside Geefree’s lethargic, coasting rap style and delivery this duo will surely push the envelope sonically for UK hip Hop music.

Produced by: INTALEKT
Mixed and Mastered by:  Pink Bird Recording Co.
Guitar: Richard Seaman (Riq.ard)
Bass: Duane Atherley (Hurc)

After just over a year on-air and more than 200k plays later Stay Cool transitions from a radio show into a label with our debut compilation. Altogether is a 50-track behemoth that spans two parts, Part. I is focused on slower Hip-Hop & R&B sounds, and Part. II is focused on faster electronic frequencies. 

Altogether takes its name from a few aspects in the recent history of the movement. It describes the compilation bringing together many of the different sounds and artists purveyed on the show, how quickly we’ve been able to grow in our short time on air as a result of the genuine relationships we’ve built through music and finally describes the ability of seangran and his pals to get through their own personal trials and tribulations thanks to the power of music and the strength of their real friendships. 

Thus despite being a free download it does come with one request: that you take some time out when listening to consider the people that have supported you and made you who you are today. Maybe even reach out to one you haven’t heard from in a while and just say “Hey”. Hard times can be difficult but if we help carry the weight of things that have been holding down those that we love it makes those times easier and our bonds stronger. We can not only survive, but thrive, when we begin to think “Altogether”. 

Thank you for the love and support, 
seangran

Various Channels is a new series within the Darker Than Wax catalogue - a selector-led compilation series that pushes diversity in sound while also encapsulating a common connection of what brings people together. For the first volume, it’s all about location. Deeply inspired by the new wave of creative energy in New York City, the label is proud to present ‘Various Channels Vol. 1 : NYC’ - a compilation highlighting key artists at the forefront of NYC’s blooming music ecosystem, curated by selector Marco Weibel. While Darker Than Wax was born in Singapore, our satellite (or second) home is NYC.

A key figure behind Darker Than Wax since its early days, Marco moved to NYC in 2014, and has continued to establish a humble presence for the label through his tireless work as a DJ, Curator, Promoter & Radio Host. Within 6 years, Marco has seen New York’s underground grow through artists’ continual efforts to push the envelope and blur the lines between sounds. Thanks in part to uncompromising venues and community spaces such as The Lot Radio in Brooklyn (where Marco is running our weekly radio show alongside label peer Mawkus), a fresh crop of producers and DJs are elevating the music of NYC.

This compilation serves as a snapshot of this moment in time, spotlighting select artists making waves - including Jitwam, James Tillman, Toribio, Ensemble Entendu, David Marston and Tristan Arp. This project is also personal to Marco’s experience of digging deep into the city and connecting with kindred spirits, the selections reflecting the creative energy of his close musical family, who traverse eclectic sound spectrums from R&B/Soul, Balearic Grooves, House, Broken Beat and beyond.
