Essen's own Glenn Astro has called his first album Throwback, and the name is at once a perfect fit and not nearly the extent of the story. On the one hand, Astro has filled the double-LP with a wealth of old-school gestures and textures—the warm whoosh of analog synths, the rattle of Rhodes tines and the sizzle of jazzy drums, all held together by the comforting glue of tape hiss and vinyl crackle. If you're used to the clean sonic lines and stylistic streamlining of so much contemporary house music, then Throwback is sure to feel less like a record you just pulled out of plastic wrap than a well-seasoned one salvaged from a flea market or unfinished basement.

And yet like so many Tartelet releases—particularly the label's last two full-lengths, Max Graef's Rivers of the Red Planet and Uffe's Radio Days—it feels fresh and keenly contemporary no matter how vintage the fabric. Rather than throw back to any one moment, he's given us a collage of styles that's quite literally timeless. Astro makes brilliant work of his influences, drawing on hip-hop, house, funk and soul in such equal measure that it's hard to argue that one impulse dominates the other. The sound certainly flirts with the dance floor, with Astro applying high-pressure deep house pads on the title cut, gliding on shimmering keys for "One For Viktor," and taking us on a vibraphone-fueled workout with "Kilometer Disco," one of a pair of cuts featuring Max Graef. But Astro obviously relishes the time he spends on the sidelines absorbing the atmosphere, or at home head-nodding to the dustiest corners of his record collection. For every house beat you hear, you'll also dip into juicy, 90’s-style beat science, toasty ambience and buttery chord progressions. Expertly paced but never hustling you along, Throwback begs to be heard as a whole but explored at your own easy pace—a record for hazy mornings-after, vibey nights in and endless summer afternoons.

Moses Boyd - Drum Dance (STW Premiere)

Italian Academy alumni Bienoise put out an excellent LP called ‘Meanwhile, Tomorrow’ on White Forest Records at the tail end of 2015 and now he follows up this release with an EP of remixes of the opening track (including one by Waxlife, who inspired the EP concept). Fellow RBMA grad Broke One’s take on “Focus Numbers” is a sublime bit of drum & bass, utilizing warm synth pads and the original’s vocal loop to coat his drum breaks in.

‘Focus Numbers Remixed’ is out June 20 on White Forest Records: https://whiteforestrecords.bandcamp.com/album/focus-numbers-remixed-wfr037

Short Stories - Chapter 1 & 2

The first incarnation of the Cosmos Dwellerz Arkestra was formed in the early 1970's by Sanifu Al Hall. Jr.
His goal was to form a group using available cutting-edge technolgies of the day fusing it into creative musical works.
What would now be called a hybrid group. Along with the quasi-standard Jazz group.
Sanifu made sagacious use of several analoguesynthesizers to forge both ambient and melodic incorporations.
Additionally he used unique signal processing on his trombone for this 1977 session.
The members of the Dwellerz on this session were
Sanifu Al Hall Jr - Trombone, Piano, Synthesizers, Percussion, Vox
Cedric Lawson-Electric piano
Kenny Klimax-Guitar
David Shields-Bass
Ndugu Chancler-Drums
Darrel Harris-Congas

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.
