Hello all

I've not posted in here yet so I don't even know if this is the right thing to do or not. It's not album codes but it's a significantly discounted discography.

I'm a Trip Hop artist as Candlewax. I started Candlewax in September 2020 after being frustrated at not being able to play with my band in the studio due to COVID. I've been a musician for 23 years and this was my first step into creating electronic music.

6 years on and 27 releases later here we are. I'm currently in the process of creating a record label to attempt to create what Mo Wax and Ninja Tune did back in the day called Dust Planet Records.

Reason for the post, as we have the long awaited return of Bandcamp Friday imminent and my release today of a Big Beat inspired EP, I am offering my entire 27 LP/EP discography for 90% off which is around £13.50. If you are interested, come on over and have a listen and buy something if you fancy it. All money generated from album sales is donated directly to the UK charity Mind which provides support for Mental Health.

Cheers everyone

Hellllllllloooooo fellow trip hop revolutionists

The time has come. It's the monthly sample challenge reveal time! It should really be tomorrow but I've got a crazy busy morning so wanted to get this out now.

Helllllooooooo beautiful people

Was planning on releasing this single tomorrow but I don't want to interrupt in any way the sample challenge reveal so here we are .

Visuals are by - Background Ape

💪💪💪💪

Hey peeps

This is a heads up for anyone who is interested. My latest EP drops on the 7th August. There are a few things happening in the background at the moment which I'm incredibly excited about which will be shared as soon as possible.

The 7th also marks the return of Bandcamp Friday. So, in celebration of Bandcamp Fridays return, a new EP and other wonderful things, I will be giving away my entire Candlewax Discography at a 90% reduction for that entire day. That's 26 releases and I think £130 worth of music.

As always, my music can be streamed an unlimited amount of times on Bandcamp regardless of if you buy anything or not.

Peace, love and Trip Hop

Candlewax 💪

I don't know why, as I believe this game to be reasonably common but I've only just got my hands on a copy. Good old CeX.

What are your thoughts on this game and the Ghibli Collab. I'm looking forward to jumping in.

With the news of physical media soon to be a thing of the past, I thought I would join the club and post my physical collection. PS3 is the only one alphabetised, but also has my 360 and Megadrive games (I friend currently has Judge Dreds, Road Rash 2, Predator 2 and Flashback)

Need to get the collection finished before the prices go up when d day comes.

I'm currently working on 2 different projects with Candlewax. We have the first Might Wax album coming with Mighty the Goat and, hot off the press, with the upcoming Trip Hop Isn't Dead Vol. 2, there will be Polysörmi Vs Candlewax Round 2 given away with every purchase of either digital or physical. This time, there will only be songs you'll be able to hear exclusively on that so if you want to hear it, I'd suggest buying a copy for charity 😉

Anyway, some of the tracks don't fit either and I'm feeling a little Big Beat is in order so, an EP is on the way, here is the title track and a lovely little video by Ash. Enjoy

Hello peeps

In this month's beat relay folder we have only those in the attached.

Ocre is in the process of stitching these together so can everyone make sure that we have put all of our parts here and not anywhere else and number them exactly as per the folder relating to your position in the Relay. It's important they are in the right order.

Album link - https://nightruby.bandcamp.com/album/the-night-casts-no-shadow

​Nightruby is back with what I think would be best described as the musical equivalent of blowing dust off of the sleeve of an old favorite vinyl. the night casts no shadow delivers a dusky, dark, and dusty set of beats perfect for those long nights where you should really be asleep, but things you may or may not have consumed are keeping you awake. There must be something in the water that the Trip Hop creators are drinking this month. We've seen some of the artists' best work this month, and as far as this album is concerned, nightruby is not breaking this trend.

​"Memories of a past life" is one of the best album openers of the year. The drums come out of nowhere and establish a groove contrary to what you thought was there. It sets the tone perfectly for what is to come. As a matter of fact, most of that first paragraph was written listening to this track. Unsurprisingly, the solid cohesion that follows allows it to still relate once the album is completed.

​"Asylum" incorporates some Asian instrumentation that allows a little peek of sunlight through the blinds of your room whilst the darkness holds on to the moment. A small sign of the reality outside this perfect atmosphere, but not too much to alter it completely.

​"Eternal mist" ensures we stay locked in to this moment in our comfortable and dark space just as the sunlight of early morning breaks through the blinds in our room and allows the listener to hang on to this vibe just before the next day begins.

​"Metal meadows" offers up a chair to sink into and embrace the closing moments of this dark and dusty moment. The sun is up now, your blinds are holding on to the final moments of darkness before your mental state normalizes and you open them to reveal the day ahead.

​"Darkness" provides some El-P style vocal delivery to give you a soundtrack for the morning walk to the shop, while "twilight vision" really encapsulates the last moments of early mornings in finite realities.

​This album really took me to specific moments of my youth and lit them up for the first time in a very long time, and reminded me of the actual good times spent with friends in those moments. It's a really great album and, as I said at the outset, nightruby's best work to date.
