I wise man once said: “Make Italo Disco Great Again”.

His name was Guido Balboa.

From there, Romain FX, after having camped his studio at this Italian’s home for a couple of years in Hong Kong, had an epiphany. 

He made a track using this genius tagline on Boots & Legs from Australia and wanted to take this phrase even further. And so this compilation was born. 

Scouting unknown and more known talents, Romain would put together a compilation full of cheesy goodness for dance-floors-ready tunes right in time for open-airs this summer of 21 after a long danceless year. For the first volume, A-team guests were asked to partake in the adventure, we have Bijou, Franz Scala, Alberto Melloni, Doctor, Berny, Daniele Monaco, and Romain FX.

PREMIERE : Daniel Monaco - Gamber One

With the world in Covid-19 lockdown and the events industry stopped in its tracks, artists and online media like ourselves have been left financially vulnerable and, well...pretty bored. In an effort to alleviate both, Stamp The Wax launches Isolation Therapy, an emergency compilation built from scratch at lightning speed. 

We reached out to a bunch of friends who may need a hand, and gave them three days to make a track from scratch in isolation. 27 artists rose to the challenge and within a week from our first reach outs we were ready to go with masters (s/o Adam Scrimshire) and artwork (s/o Jess Ebsworth)⁣⁣. Final s/o to Aly Gilani for helping pull it all together. 

To provide artists with financial support as quickly as possible, royalty splits have been increased and accounting periods have been reduced to fortnightly during Coronavirus restrictions. Isolation Therapy will also provides much-needed funds for STW, having been hit heavily by the collapse of the events industry and postponement of all our media partnerships. If you can afford to buy the album, even if you don't like every track, it will be a massive support for independent journalism and go a long way to help us fight through this lockdown.⁣⁣

Isolation Therapy

Bayetë & Probably Sean - Corona Theresa [3:12]

He slithered through the throng. Blinkered to all, with all blind to him, he snaked towards the coffee shop window. He found isolation en masse. And solace. But, looking up for the first time since leaving the house, an image arrested him. “Tu le connais, lecteur, ce monstre délicat, Hypocrite lecteur, mon semblable, mon frère!”

If summer had gone ahead unruined, Maureen’s Tu Me Tues would have been one of its low-key anthems. It’s an easy-on-the-ear cut of Balearic boogie that one can easily imagine floating along a Mediterranean shoreline or ringing across a baked British campsite. Its title translates to “You’re Killing Me”: an appositely grim summation of a holiday season that had its throat cut by a viral assassin. Be that as it may, we can still sip on summer’s September dregs to the tune of this forgotten French groove. It was produced by Michel Bassignani in 1988 and unearthed by the Pardonnez-nous label, who dominated last summer with their reissue of La Compagnie Créole and Larry Levan’s joyous A.I.É.

PREMIERE: Maureen - Tu Me Tues (Original Mix) [Pardonnez-nous]

“Music is a borderless language”
This is our gargantuan motto at Fauve Records.

With this mission statement arose a new project called 西 WEST & 東 EAST.
Born from the desire to link the world of the West & the East. The idea was to ask two artist/band to collaborate on a split EP, with one original track each and finally to remix each others’ work.

For Volume 1, it is with humble esteem that we present you to Mameen 3 (DJ SoFa & Cheb Runner) from Belgium/Morocco in collaboration with Dea (1/4 of Zatua/Music From Memory) from Indonesia.  We are extremely happy to launch the new series with this extraordinary collection of retro-futuristic club music.

First up is Mameen 3 with their original title “Dada Glitter”. A hypnotic burner that feels like the instrumental B-side of a fitness instruction song made by Ziad Rahbani's grandson in 2043. Wake up in utopia and find yourself high on XTC on a glittery Bellydance rave under the Moonshine of Djerbas beaches. An absolute sparkler faithfully signed: soFa & Cheb Runner. 

On remix duty of the previously mentioned track is the Indonesian future legend called Dea. After getting his hands on a vintage vocoder he pulled out all its magic blessing onto this stripped-down oriental-future-groover.  A highly forceful bassline and effectively simple punchy beats do justice to this cosmic vocoder-funk gem. With lush chords and modestly well done modular toms, he puts the cherry on the cake. A masterpiece in a back-alley illegal trafficking vibe with intimate curiosity!

On the flip side is Dea’s original piece “Mesopotamia”. Just when you thought you’ve travelled enough in this EP, the shaman takes it a step further by landing you on a planet where all genres live together in harmony. Classical, space odyssey, salsa, middle-eastern, you name it, the influences are endless. With a clean yet effective 4x4 analogue-sounding pulse, he handles a multiverse of emotions that will take you on the best drugless trip you can experience. 

Last but not least, Mameen 3’s “Rai Not Raimix” finishes the EP in style. Re-inventing the genre-less track by giving it an aspect of a sorcerer marching band. Amidst airy FM trumpets, off-groove claps and enthralled choirs the duo brings along the final smoky touch of this treasury of oddities.

西 WEST & 東 EAST Vol 1 : Mameen 3 & Dea (preview)

Once upon a time, in Paris, a little basement full of colorful clothes of all kinds and women posing in somewhat dubious photos. 
This windowless room marked the beginning of a long friendship between Jeff Lasson (Get A Room!) and Gaetan Rossi (The Elriks). From this friendship, a little seed was born, a seed that took some time to sprout, gently sprinkled with good music and good vibes, to become, a few years later, "Youkounkoun".


It's hard to define Youkounkoun and place them in a box. Influenced by all musical styles, they love to play, compose and edit whatever  their hearts dictate to them.

In December 18 they released their first 12" of late 80's french Balearic edits, on the "Plaisir Partagé" edit label "Edit du Plaisir".
This first output was well received in the scene and has created interest from labels such as "Cult Edits", "Whypeopledance" and "Edit service", with whom they plan to release records later this year.
