SATURDAY WE'RE GETTING MAD TROPICAL... Guaranteed BACKROOM magic. Disco, House, Funk, Soul, Boogie, Dancehall... Vibes just right, ALL night with: This week 7/28: Darker Than Wax in the house... Darker Than Wax is an underground electronic music label based on the island of Singapore, breaking all bounds and grounds progressing the music scene in their city and influencing globally. We advocate diversity and depth in music; bringing people together through a growing stable of artists, selectors and like-minded souls worldwide; gathering, conversing, exchanging and creating, using music as the medium. Endorsed by tastemakers like Gilles Peterson, Lefto, jamz supernova, king Britt and many more numerous tastemakers and platforms worldwide, the Singapore-based label is widely respected for its attention to diversity and detail. Though essentially a music label, we have developed over the past five years into a multi faceted entity. Starting out as just music purveyors and artists initially, to gaining new strengths and skills crucial in today’s dynamic scene, such as design, communications, marketing, event organization, A&R, merchandising, promotions, and of course, live performance. All aspects are handled in house with a tight team based both in Singapore as well as New York. http://www.darkerthanwax.com/home With your DJ's: William J (Singapore, Darker Than Wax) "His forward-thinking selection, versatility, and diverse knowledge of dance music history brings a fresh sound to the vibrant underground dance music scene in Singapore. After joining homegrown collective and label Darker Than Wax in 2012 and moving back to Singapore in 2013, the past year has seen William J playing sets alongside international artists such as Loefah, KiNK, Roska, and Bonobo at various venues including Velvet Underground, Kyo, The Vault, and Home Club, as well as playing at Zoukout’s Localised Tent." https://soundcloud.com/william-j & Marcus Rosario aka Mawkus (Darker Than Wax) Mawkus is a great DJ who’s knowledge spans multiple genres. I’ve been able to book him to play many different sounds and am excited to hear his funky tropical soulful side. He was also the resident for the Motown Mondays party, I’m glad to have him at Mad Tropical. http://mawkward.com/ https://soundcloud.com/mawkus & Marco Weibel (Darker Than Wax) Brought up on a soul diet, DJ / selector Marco, dabbles in things deep, funky, diverse and raw. Originally from Singapore, Marco is one of the brightest selectors to have emerged out of the South-East Asian scene. His move to New York has only furthered his musical reach, and his eclectic sound palette spans across a wide range of sounds from Beats, Modern Funk, Disco, Boogie, Afro/Brazilian, Hip-Hop, Deep House, Footwork, UK Bass and beyond. https://soundcloud.com/marcoweibel Resident: Reliably dirty DIRTY, that's me. :) (Gold Whistle, Black Label) http://dirtyfinger.tumblr.com/ NO cover YES dancing Mad Tropical 236 Troutman St Brooklyn NYC (Get Facebooked) Check some sounds:
