Coop ✌️
Bigwax.io is not an online record store like the others!
For many years, we have been supporting independent artists and labels in the development of their online store on the short circuit model, for better remuneration for their work.
With a team of enthusiasts, all professionals in the recorded music sector, we operate at all levels: Consulting, Manufacturing, Distribution (WW), Logistics and Online Sales.
Synergy and common goal
Every day we put our experience as a distributor and e-merchant at the service of artists with the common objective of regularly offering exclusive and personalized editions (signed vinyls, numbered editions, merchandising, exclusive packs) for fans.
Coop: an ecosystem for independent creators
It is in a spirit of cooperation that independent artists and labels join Bigwax.io.
To highlight this proximity, our wish is to highlight all the independent artists and labels in cooperation with Bigwax.io with a "Coop" tag.
If this tag also appears on an article, it means that we are the only intermediary between them and you. By adding Coop products to your cart, you help pay them fairer compensation and help them continue to develop their artistic projects over time.
Thanks to you
L'eau repousse les feux agressifs
IL PLEUT DES TRACKS : Après trois superbes collabs sorties sur Mama Told Ya ces derniers mois, Anetha étanche notre soif inextinguible avec MTY-EAU, une toute nouvelle compilation : 4 vinyles, 16 tracks, 18 artistes* - un projet follement diluvien.
Intitulée « L’eau repousse les feux agressifs », elle sera alors la première d’une série autour des quatre éléments. Source d’inspiration, l’Eau nous enseigne l’acceptation. Elle inonde intégralement ce premier opus, tout comme les esprits - alors en « quarantaine » - des artistes invités. Aucune digue, zéro barrage et beaucoup de temps libre, l’occasion alors d’oser des courants plus… expérimentaux. Mama Told Ya innove donc, bien qu’il y en ait pour tous les goûts au sein même de chacun des quatre vinyles : torrent de techno, d’acide, de trance, trombe de fast-tempo et d’hyper-saturation, averse d’expérimental ou encore d’electronic-rap vocoder… RAIN. ON. ME.! À savourer bien frais à la maison ou bien bouillant, en club.
L’artwork a cette fois été confié à l’artiste plasticienne Karin Kimel, qui nous délivre une version du monde à travers un prisme 3D aquatique dans lequel seuls subsistent les bribes d’un volcan sous-marin en ébullition. Avec une intro profondément dramatique, « Bully » nous immerge immédiatement dans les eaux glacées scandivaves, à la limite de l’hydrocution. Un départ épique, presque mystique, annonciateur du déluge imminent.
L’eau alors, dans tous ses tempéraments, sous toutes ses températures se propage partout, tout au long de l’écoute, tantôt apaisante, tantôt tonitruante. Sous pression dans « EXTREMELY URGENT », elle devient même irrépressible. S’ensuit alors une course folle à la submersion de tout. Vannes et éviers ouverts, piscines qui débordent, crue-éclair, tempêtes et tsunamis, mousson sans fin, fontes des glaces… C’est finalement un monde liquide, entièrement plongé sous l’eau que l’on retrouve dans « 5th generation », outro d’un nouveau genre qui invite à réinventer le futur, et pourquoi pas celui de Mama Told Ya.
Difficile de ne pas entendre dans cette odyssée aquatique une mise en garde écologique, un (r)appel à la Nature.
*Varg and Croatian Amor, UFO95, Anetha, Tommy Holohan, X-Coast , EMMA DJ, Less Distress, Sugar, ABSL, Quest?Onmarc , Ryan James Ford, ISAbella Le Dom, FAKETHIAS, Rhys Jelson, Jardin and Certain Smith.

IT’S RAINING TRACKS : After three successful collaborative releases on Mama Told Ya over the past few months, Anetha quenches our unquenchable thirst with MTY-EAU, a brand new compilation: 4 vinyls, 16 tracks, 18 artists* - one madly diluvian project.
Entitled "L’eau repousse les feux agressifs", it will be the first of a series around the four elements. Source of inspiration, Water teaches us acceptance. It completely flows in this first opus, as into the spirits - in "quarantine" at that time - of the guest artists. No sluices, zero dams and a lot of free time, the opportunity to dare more... experimental streams. Mama Told Ya is therefore innovating, although there is some for all tastes in each and every vinyl: torrent of fast disjoncted techno, cloudburst of acid, trance and hyper-saturation, downpour of experimental or even electronic-rap vocoder…. RAIN. ON. ME.! To be savoured chilled at home or boiling, in a club.
The artwork has this time been entrusted to visual artist Karin Kimel, who delivers a version of the world through an aquatic 3D prism in which only the fragments of a boiling underwater volcano remain.
With a profoundly dramatic intro, « Bully » immediately immerses us in the icy Scandinavian waters, on the verge of hydrocution. An epic, almost mystical opening, heralding the impending flood. Water then, in all its temperaments, under all its temperatures, spreads everywhere, throughout the listening, sometimes soothing, sometimes thundering. Under pressure in « EXTREMELY URGENT », it even becomes irrepressible. Next follows a demented race set to submerge everything. Open valves and sinks, overflowing swimming pools, flash floods, storms and tsunamis, endless monsoons, melting ice and glaciers… It is ultimately a liquid world, entirely drowned under water that we find in « 5th generation », outro of a new genre which invites to reinvent the future, and why not Mama Told Ya’s future.
It’s hard not to hear in this aquatic odyssey an ecological warning, a call (back) to Nature.
