Check out and share our WeGrowWax Interview. This interview is part of our new Labels in the Spotlight Series. In this interview series we feature exciting labels from all over the world. As always: Share & Support!
Please tell us a bit about yourself and your label. Where are you based, what genres & styles do you cover… And when/how how did it all start?
We're based in Wexford, Ireland. We cover organic Downtempo and Electronica. (Hip-Hop, Trip-Hop, Chill-Hop, Jazzy vibes, Neo-Soul, Ambient). It all started with.. Bruce Lee 4 years ago. Long story short. I am big fan (and follower) of master Bruce's philosophy. His wisdom inspired me to do what I love and to overcome my fears. I wanted to create a label different than others. More like a collective but also working as a gateway for Artists. Not ruled by the profit but our own vision. Our spectrum of musical genres is very wide. We got our own vibe going and we are truly expanding in an organic way. We are a family here. Running a label like this is very inspiring and rewarding . I met incredible people on my way with unbelievable passion . We share the same love for creation and passion. I could go on like this for hours. Decision to start a label was one of the best in my life.
What are some releases our audience simply must check out? (Either new stuff or evergreen classics)
www.wegrowwax.bandcamp.com <- All of Them;]
Seriously…check that stuff out! It's hot. Plenty of amazing compilations and solo albums and we have not told a final word yet. . I treat every album on the same level. Every one of them is a part of us and will be forever. I can't really point only one,It all depends on one's mood or even a time of the day as every album carries an emotional load.
If you like very modern and unique approach, check out Sixfingerz, B-Jam vs Enos, Tristan de Liege and Printempo. If you are a fan of old school flavours with a new school twist, check out Squashy Nice, My Neighbour Is, Scottie Royal, Bunko Stew or ChasBeats. If you dig classic Trip-Hop, You'll find "Sound Me" very appealing. If you love diversity, go for We Got it in Nature Compilations…It's all there at your fingertips.
Are you looking for new artists to sign or collaboration partners? (Be it media partners, remix competitions or otherwise?)
Always. Drop us a line if interested. There is always a space for a new family member with that proper organic vibe.
