Love Is A Hurting Thing DJ PICASSO EDIT

Wax’o Paradiso Recordings continues its dive into the extraordinary canon of contemporary Antipodean psychedelia with its second outing on vinyl, four spacious and soaring balearic cuts from local duo Donald’s House. 

From the glistening textures of 37° South (featuring renowned Australian percussionist Phil Stroud), to meandering meditative freakouts Aurora Australis and Under the Lilypad, to the italo new beat muscularity of ‘Budge-E Beat’, Donald’s House are showcasing a constantly evolving versatility and a truly unique take on the acid trip sunrise at the metaphorical Café del Murray.

"2 and a bit hours of fun music from me to you ~ rnb, rap & streetsoul to reggae, dancehall, house & beyond with bulk cugine approved slow sippers for good measure." @mike-who

The Way They Do (Pender Street Steppers Dub Mix)

This little melting pot of goodness from the Italian stallion and all-round don Raff Todesco under the moniker Free On Board, aptly named ‘In My Soul’, had all the makings of a winner but only clocked in at a criminally short 3 minutes. We got the scalpel out on this ‘90s gem, spliced and diced in some new sections and took out that semi-questionable guitar breakdown to create what we hope is a feel-good, dancefloor heater ☀️

Introducing PUCA002, the second release on @pucasounds from @murrinmusic.

Indulge in the rhythmic tappings, pleading plucking and general propulsion of King Puck by Murrin, his first solo release. 3 tracks for the slow connoisseur caravan, and 1 for the vital essence of arpeggiated hysteric euphoria.

PUCA002 will be released in LP and digital format on 01/11/2022.

PREMIERE: Murrin - King Puck [PUCA002]

After highly acclaimed releases from OK EG and Donald’s House, Wax’o Paradiso Recordings proudly welcomes Naarm/Melbourne producer Midnight Tenderness (Ryan Hunter) to the fold. Over four tracks the ‘Hydrosphere EP’ continues the label’s narrative of platforming contemporary antipodean psychedelia with three masterful productions and a remix from Boorloo/Perth’s Hame DJ.

As a producer with influences rooted in dub, street soul, boogie and the DNA of UK club music, Ryan draws down on the Middy T sound with the title track ‘Hydrosphere’, a blend of broken machine funk, glistening synth lines and beautiful crisp drum programming. ‘Rain Vibe’ takes the sound palette further adding a hefty wub for good measure. ‘Catamaran’ transports us back to the golden era on the Balearic isles, with the original evoking Ibizan sunset cruises whilst Hame DJ’s remix brings some Madchester chug to the mix.

WPR003 Midnight Tenderness - Hydrosphere EP [Snippets]

Greetings! We're excited to share one last Pacific Spirit session in 2022. This time around we're taking an uplifting cruise through foundational and under the radar deep house from the golden era stitched together by NYC's @arsenii aka Bliss Street Queens. Arsenii released an incredible record with us a few months back called the "Deep Hows EP" and this mix is evocative of the sound he explored on that essential 12". If you haven't secured a copy there's still a handful floating around at the finer record stores on the Planet E. 

Enjoy the sounds everybody. Catch you on the other side!

It Takes More Than 5 Min

'Over the past 10 years, Simon TK and Edd Fisher have built, curated and cultivated the now-institution that is Wax’o Paradiso. Wax’o Paradiso’s holistic approach to music sees the esteemed outfit working as hard behind the scenes as they do behind the decks. Harnessing a harmonious balance between stalwart DJ duo, ever-reliable events series and recently founded record label, Wax’o Paradiso’s offerings have cajoled a passionate and dedicated community predicated on a commitment to creating playful and positive dancefloor experiences. 

Wax’o Paradiso’s once theatrically themed events remain charismatic - roving, leftfield locations, expert production and longform DJ sets from Wax’o Paradiso and like minded guests create place and space to elate. As DJs, the duo presents a sonic frontier with unparalleled synergy. Each rapturous journey, a cosmic concertina of rare groove and psychedelia that illuminates the vast reservoir that is Wax’o Paradiso’s ineffable musical knowledge and technical skill. The resultant long-lasting, high-impact performances almost always unfurl in moments that push exultant crowds to soar together in shared states of dancefloor freedom and energetic ecstasy. It’s with this mantle that the duo have a consistent and far reaching presence, amassing frequent club and festival appearances both near and far. 

Together, the pair also co-run the newly established Wax’o Paradiso Recordings, a label devoted to unearthing contemporary antipodean sounds spanning the soothing and the psychedelic, as well as a collection of spirited mixtapes - an expanding back catalogue that’s sure to keep your heart warm and your body moving.'
