    (Audio/Video) Richie Saps x Warren Xclnce – Mindless EP (FREE D/L)

    This is the long awaited collaborative E.P from the London based Rapper/Producer Richie Saps and DJ/Producer Warren Xclnce.
    This E.P ties together a smooth production, with trippy elements and a very laid back and inviting feel.
    The project came about after the song 'Dream' by Richie Saps, produced by Warren Xclnce was released. This lead the two to create something similar in style but with a much more mesmerizing touch.
    It was not long after, the duo released a music video for 'Down The Rabbits Hole' (filmed by cxnsor.com), which caught quite a bit of attention as it was described as a "mind bending track with an equally mind bending video'' - sampleface.co.uk.
    A few weeks down the road then saw the release of 'Tell Me What You Wanna Do' featuring Alexander Petrelli. This continued to bring more attention to the project underway, notably from the UK music blog blatantlyblunt.com.
    Be sure to expect more from the duo in the future to come!

    (Audio) Milo Mills – Paradise Soon Ep

    "We first knew about Milo Mills through his solid remix of TA-KU x JMSN's Make It Last, and was hooked immediately to his sounds. Further investigations revealed the eclectic nature of this producer, where he travels through a wide range of styles. Quite naturally, conversations started, and here we are with one of our most recent Darker Than Wax additions : Milo's latest piece of paradise, adds 9 succinct tracks to DTW's camp of neck-snappers. Under the guise of trap with its southern influences of skittering hats and melodic maneuvers, these beastly crafted tracks hold a lot more depth by insulating the warmth of low-slung boombap, rolling bass and half-step arrangements.Discerning remixes of Tribe's “1nce Again” (onceagain) and Brandy's “I Wanna be Down” (downwithu) are given a new lease of a seminal sound that is on point with the wave of evolving beats. “The theme” is dressed up with slinky keys and boogie snares, a throwback to a notorious era that will always stay gold – something like this EP is looking out to be." - Darker Than Wax

    (Audio) NeguimBeats – Sweet Life Ep

    "NeguimBeats is the latest contribution to the constant paradigm shifts in the movement of Brazil – though "Sweet Life" is devoid of the booming favela funk influence, especially pivotal in the current wave of electronic music. In place is a palatial sonic platter of impeccable arrangements. Typical sounds are tastefully woven together, resulting in an incredibly emotive and ambient soundscape. Shaking off expectations of the tropical, South American percussion based samples, he tastefully relives the omnipresent nostalgia of jazz - blithe stabs of keys and notes resonating with earthy, full-bodied snares, as he does in "Smooth Ambient" and "Life in Abundance". Everything falls into its right place as "Jazz" (featuring Kolombiano) hits the cans, with flowing anamorphic sounds and melancholic reverb of piano keys, exuding a keen sense of longing, ending with the illuminating "Space Traveller", capturing the calming, cosmic ambience. Neguim Beats evokes an innate connection with the listener, fast becoming an anomaly in the relationship between artistes and fans – a vital connection we thrive on at DTW." - Darker Than Wax

    (Audio) Luviia – P2P Feelings EP

    "Hailing from Kaohsiung, Taiwan, you could say that Luviia is one of the best kept secrets within the Asian region. In a country that is dominated by mainly Rap music, Luviia alongside a small group of artists, has been quietly honing his craft. Not surprising then, that he has been garnering a legion of followers in the global world of underground hip-hop. Sampling is his game, and sticking to that discipline has allowed him to carve out an unique feel to his sound. A sound that doesn't proclaim loudly to break boundaries, but always succeeds in giving you that raw unmistakable 'feel good' factor of wet claps, buttery kicks and lo-fi textures.
    The EP moves between shades of early Nujabes, snippets of Ohbliv, Dilla and more adventurous BPMs like the track 'Swinging Along', which also happens to be our favourite at the DTW HQ." - Darker Than Wax

    In the words of beat-maker Boom Baptist : " Extremely soulful release from the Darker Than Wax camp, this time a Taiwanese producer named Luviia, who so perfectly encapsulates the "golden era" sound that it's hard to believe these beats are from our current day. Turn this on and enjoy your sunday. "
