AboutToBlow on Radar Radio #014 – April 17 – with Funk Bast*rd (Darker Than Wax) & Letherette

We could not be more excited to bring you episode 14 of About To Blow radio, the easter holiday special with not one but TWO special guests on board for an episode that melds the sweetspot between boogie, electro, jazz and hip hop sounds.

First up we’re honoured to have Singapore’s Funk Bast*rd – founder and brains behind Darker Than Wax – joined us for a chat and guest mix as he takes the ever-evolving jazz, funk & hip-hop infused sounds of DTW on the road for an 8-date European tour.

Also joining us is a duo who need little introduction, having releases on the likes of Eglo and Ninja Tune, midlands duo Letherette have curated an incomparable sound that melds elements of MF Doom & Dilla to everything from Daft Punk and Breakbot.

Having first caught our attention with the timeless house cut ‘Rayon’, the guys are back with EP3, a superb 8-track release on their own imprint Wulf Records. Lock in from the 1 hour 20 mark as the guys drop a 40 minute mix of original material that melds soul with funk, electro, house and hip-hop.

We’ll be back on Radar Radio on Saturday May 20th with a very special guest, at the usual time of 16:00 – 18:00 BST.
