Perth might seem an unlikely origin story for a Singaporean dance music label, but as @funk_bstrd tells it, the Australian city’s thriving ‘90s club scene helped shape the eclectic DNA of @darkerthanwax – one of the most respected vinyl imprints to emerge in the last decade.As the label marks its 15th anniversary in 2026, Chew reflects with Henry Johnstone on its journey from a humble island in Southeast Asia to New York City and beyond, the vibrancy of the region’s club scene, and why a timeless bassline pressed to wax still endures.Catch Dean Chew (Darker Than Wax/Offtrack) with Mazzacles on Thursday 02 April at Club 77 from 10pm — 5am. Early bird tickets via RA, free entry before midnight via guest list

It was crucial to us that the final product reflects the various textures and colors of Offtrack. Hence, we went for a slightly unconventional approach towards the treatment of the faceplate.We floated the idea of oxidising the faceplate, and worked closely with @wally.patina over the course of the year to achieve that finish. The process was incredibly organic, and the patina adds a striking note to the overall composition of the @resorelectronics 3300 FX four channel rotary mixer. With a wooden housing and classic UREI knobs, we truly have a unique rotary mixer that is a testament to the two brands striving for excellence in their respective fields.Experience it for yourself at the House of Leisure. : @djulianchng
