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
Super Somali Sounds from the Gulf of Tadjoura - CD
Ostinato Records a encore frappé ! En 2019, après des négociations de plusieurs années, Ostinato est devenu le premier label à avoir accès aux grandes Archives de Radiodiffusion-Télévision de Djibouti (RTD), un trésor rempli de secrets et d'histoires d'Afrique de l'Est. La première sortie de la série Djibouti Archives est une anthologie fondamentale de 4 Mars, un supergroupe somalien de 40 membres derrière le morceau le plus écouté et téléchargé de la compilation Sweet As Broken Dates nominée aux Grammy Awards. Synthés turcs, reggae jamaïcain, cuivres américains, voix de Bollywood, rythmes égyptiens et yéménites, flûtes chinoises et mongoles se retrouvent tous dans ce petit coin de l'Afrique de l'Est qui a été pendant des siècles le centre commercial le plus dynamique du monde, le point médian reliant l'Afrique, l'Asie, et la Méditerranée. La musique somalienne dans toute sa splendeur.
Inclus un livret de 12 pages.
----------
In 2019, Ostinato Records became the first label granted access to the grand Archives of Radiodiffusion-Télévision de Djibouti (RTD), a vault of secrets and stories from East Africa.
The first in our Djibouti Archives series is a seminal anthology of 4 Mars, a 40-member Somali supergroup behind the most streamed and downloaded track on our Grammy-nominated Sweet As Broken Dates compilation. The personal band of a political party, 4 Mars' sound reveals a brand new history of the world.
Turkish synths, Jamaican Reggae, American brass, Bollywood vocals, Egyptian and Yemeni rhythms, and Chinese and Mongolian flutes all rendezvous in a corner of East Africa that for centuries served as the world's most brisk trading hub, the midway point connecting Africa, Asia, and the Mediterranean. All roads led to the Gulf of Tadjoura, not Rome.
This is Somali music at its sassy, soulful, synthesized best.
