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
Udondolo - CD
Les pieds dans les traditions, la tête dans le futur, les quatre musiciens du groupe Urban Village puisent dans le riche patrimoine musical des terroirs sud-africains. Ils offrent une synthèse inédite qui mêle les guitares zulu, maskandi, l’indie-folk, les chœurs sud-africains et le jazz, le tout porté par une spiritualité et une énergie folle. Ils partagent une folk puissante et des chansons imprégnées de valeurs panafricaines et de la fameuse « Ubuntu » (humanité commune). C’est un premier album, enregistré chez eux avec l’énergie du live et patiemment poli en studio par Frédéric Soulard (Maestro, Limousine, Jeanne Added...). Unvoyage à travers toutes les couleurs de Soweto, cité dortoir conçue pour mieux surveiller ceux qu'on y envoyait, devenue le laboratoire des musiques où résonnent les espoirs de tout un peuple, aujourd'hui encore.

No Format is heading for Soweto by releasing the next album of South African group Urban Village
Feet in the tradition, head in the future, the four musicians of the band Urban Village get their inspiration from the rich musical heritage of South African soil. A totally original synthesis of Zulu guitars, indie-folk, maskandi, South African choirs and jazz, all carried along by an undoubtable energy and charisma. They offer a powerful folk - and their songs are steeped in the cultural consciousness of yesteryear, including the famous “ubuntu (common humanity)” and Pan Africanism. It's a first album, recorded at home with the energy of live music and patiently polished in the studio by Frédéric Soulard (Maestro, Limousine, Jeanne Added). A journey through all the colors of Soweto, a dormitory town designed to better monitor those who were sent there, that has become the laboratory of music where the hopes of an entire people resonate, even today.
