Wax Works - Mix Series by wax thief

New Alias drop
Introducing my hard Bassline leaning Speed Garage alias, Major Tom.
 
Major Tom is a spaceman who departed earth in the year 2000 on an important mission into deep space. While he was exploring the frontiers of the galaxy, the circuitry of his spacecraft malfunctioned and he lost power. He drifted through deep space for what he thought was 5 years, but time passes differently in deep space, so when he finally managed to repair his spaceship and regain contact with ground control, the year was actually 2025 and the world he knew had changed.
 
Although his sound is very much stuck in the mid to late 2000s with big dirty square basses, chunky drums and cheesy vocals, he was pleasantly surprised to hear this northern flavour of bassline leaning speed garage had made a return… however for him, bassline isn’t back because Bassline never left. 

Ground Control 1 – a two track EP with songs PLAYA and Spaceman (Major Tom Theme 1), is available on Bandcamp as a free DL for the first week only which it will then move to paid.
 
This stuff is extra hard, slap ya in the face sorta oldskool dirty drops so hope ya like it.

Welcome home Major Tom.

Wax works is the mix series by me, wax thief. 
Welcome to wax works 1, a quick gee-up mix i prepared recently warming up for Xirita's Melb show. I wanted to showcase a couple of the different genres I enjoy playing with a slightly lighter/ poppier feel, while building to some fast drum and bass at the end. 

This mix is perfect for a pres, so pop it on and let the good times roll.

Wax Works 1: From UKG to Dnb mix

In 1998, 25 years ago almost to the day, Ubisoft released an action video game for the Nintendo 64 known as Buck Bumble. 

Although the game didn't stand the test of time compared to others of the era, there was one element that gave it it's notoriety - the music. 

Composer Justin Scharvona who produced the music for the game, chose UK Garage as the genre for the soundtrack and the result was around a dozen filthy speed garage tracks. 

Although a number of the tracks from the original soundtrack got a makeover by producer Alec Falconer in 2022, when i saw the song making the rounds online, I could't help myself but do my own speedier and wubbier version of the title track fit for a 2023 dancefloor. 

And it just so happens that the game was released 25 years and 1 day ago... 

I hope you enjoy,

Waxy

Don't go was an Old Skool breakbeat/ hardcore song released in 1992 by group Awesome 3 and was one of their most successful songs. 

The track consists of 2 distinct sections, the uplifting stabby piano lead and a gritty Old Skool rave stab, all underpinned by a Stone Roses drum sample cut into a break beat rhythm.

The sound is distinctly 90's, so I wanted to pay homage to that and highlight the two distinct sections of the song by starting with an upbeat 4/4 Garage House drum loop over the piano parts, before moving into a darker, 90s speed garage Reese and warp bass for a second drop and even dirtier 3rd section.

Wax Works 2: New and Old Speedy G

Special request to all di gyaldem from North, South, East and West - Bruk Wine!
This one is a bit different to your usual speed garage tracks... jersey is infectious on the dance floor so I had to add a jersey drop, a dance hall cut and some breaks to make this warping 4/4 speed garage track unique.

The song is a reimagination of DJ Gunshot's iconic track Wheel Up which was so pivotal to Jungle and UK Garage. It is credited as one of the first tracks ever to use the iconic "dub siren" sound that now is quintessential UKG, so I had to pay homage to that and do my own 4/4 warping bassline version.

Special Request - single

Can't Deny [Amigo Digital]

little set tool for you all (138bpm to 165 bpm)

The track is a cheeky edit of the iconic and classic break beat track "Feel Real Good" by Manix, released in 1991. The original is soooo good, the track starts with a beautiful stabby, rave piano sampled from house track "Don't Wanna Go" by Sterling Void and vocals sampled from a Dihan Brooks. 

I wanted to honour both the house origins of the piano sample as well as the break beat drums that drives the original song, and while doing so, I realised I could do something fun and different, and hence this DJ tool was born.

The song starts as a piano house track like the original sample and a reese bass to drive momentum but I couldn't help myself from adding a bit of a warping speedy-g section too. However wait for the break down which becomes breakbeat before speeding up to a 165bpm jungle/ amen break drop. 

Use it to transition quickly from house to jungle or just use it to blow the face off your audiences - i'm not gonna tell you what to do, im not your mum.

 @TiltShiftMelbourne   is an Event Brand Managed and Curated by Melbourne Artist  @stockholmsyndromeau  

As we move further into the digital age, we believe that the future of clubbing is a 50/50 balance of real life and online. With this in mind, we have begun moving Tilt Shift in this direction.

We aim to create a platform that shines a light on Melbourne Locals and international talent. Build an online community while simultaneously putting people in the room as we broadcast.

Tilt Shift sits firmly left of center, a difficult-to-label square peg that unintentionally fails to fit a pigeonhole. Borrowing from the photography term, Tilt Shift refers to two different types of movement, a selective focus with a large depth of field used to control perception. As we have come to think of it, it’s where the lines blur

Since our debut as Tilt Shift in 2017 we have facilitated events at a variety of the city's most reputable late-night haunts like Revolver, Boney, Section 8 & New Guernica. In this time we have hosted & toured artists such as: Marvin & Guy, Curses, The Hacker, Tronic Youth & Timothy Clerkin

Wax Thief - WATTAH

For this week’s instalment, we were joined by local UKG powerhouse Wax Thief. We chatted about where he sees the genre heading, what it felt like having his tracks played out by heavyweights like IPC, and even asked the all-important question — if he were a fruit, what would he be? His mix treated us to a class selection of unreleased cuts from himself and friends, making for a seriously standout episode. As always, we hope you enjoy :)

Contrast Radio Ep13 Wax Thief

Wax Thief releases his rave mix of Johan Sterling’s track Cold Fresh Air, just in time for the European summer festival circuits.

The track is a main-stage, summer anthem and fuses UK garage organs and sliding Reese basses with classic house elements and a huge euphoric piano drop.

Supports already include X Club, Ollie Lishman, Job Jobse, Malugi, Sam Alfred, Bullet Tooth, BL3SS and expect many more at music festivals this summer
