Our 3rd installment of House of Wax's Record Requiem Series comes from Chicago's Mr. K'Alexi Shelby. As a DJ and producer K Alexi is one of Chicago's true heroes and cited by many as a pioneer the city's sound. At a young age of 12 K was already moving in the right circles befriending worldwide legends like Frankie Knuckles and Ron Hardy whilst frequenting the famous Warehouse.

K's upbringing in Chicago in the 70's and 80's meant he was exposed to a range of genres and different styles of music including Stevie Wonder Prince Curtis Mayfield and David Huff - these same names would prove to be the roots of influence. K's first pressing 'Essence of a Dream' is still regarded a classic today.

House of Wax - Record Requiem Series - #003 - K'Alexi Shelby

Our House of Wax is not a house in which you find grotesque figurines (which, for those of you who haven't seen the weird ass film, are individuals condemned to a life of... being wax 'tings). This house... our house, is for those who love to lose themselves in the most moving, eclectic and riveting sounds that are available for our ears to enjoy. Our house is not confined to a single genre; we do not simply play disco, we do not simply play house, we do not simply play techno, we do not simply play funk, we do not si- you get the picture. The selectors of our house will blend a vast variety of sounds and frequencies in a way that'll soothe your soul and let both body and mind unwind.
