#58 - BLACK POMADE

On the 20th September 2024, we hosted a joint party with Spezialmaterial at Zukunft in Zurich.

True to form, the night brought together Tia Cousins, Matt Cowell, and Princess P for a session that lived up to the Spezial ethos.

For a taste of what went down, check out this 2-hour snippet from Tia Cousins and Matt Cowell’s b2b, capturing the essence of the evening in full swing.

LEATHERETTE #008 - Phil Kieran 30/11/24

LA-based artists and Sensory Signal co-founder Capes and Adult Hits join forces for the tenth release on Ransom Note offshoot Human Endeavour Records.

Mirroring the sonics that the pair champion at their parties, ‘Stellar Bodies’ explores visceral acid, electro and breakbeats that stimulate the mind, body and soul.

https://soundcloud.com/dextercolt: I wanted to channel low-key, deep, smoked-out club energy with this one. Vibes build slowly with flashes of energy and dubby detours. It features a few recent bits that I’ve been feeling lately, but most of these tracks were dug out of my collection.

A diverse selector, budding producer, and label head from Singapore, Dexter Colt fuses a love for the deepest sounds with leftfield house, trippy techno, and dubbed-out frequencies. A student of pirate radio and NYC club legends, with over a decade of experience behind the decks, he has distilled a sonic signature built around a deep knowledge of dance music and blistering technique. Through his record labels Darker Than Wax and Super Enjoy, Dexter Colt has been pushing obscure sounds forward from Asia and beyond and through his monthly show on Bristol-based Noods Radio.

Always on the hunt for lost cuts and new talents, Dexter Colt is a mainstay in the Singapore scene and a familiar face across Asia, having shared his sounds at celebrated venues in the region such as Mitsuki (Tokyo), West Harlem (Kyoto), Mihn (Hong Kong), Cakeshop (Seoul), and Potato Head (Bali). Dexter Colt has released several EPs since his debut in 2023 on his labels and Los Angeles label Low Recordings, with several more releases slated for 2025.
