LOVE PENALTY Radio Show on LYL RADIO - October 2021

My 5 hours set recorded live @ La Marquise boat in Lyon on October 11th. Different things played from Soul to Brazil, through Disco, edits, Modern Soul etc. All vinyl, some classics, some rare ones.

Not an easy night, Booth far from the dancefloor so a bit difficult to feel the crowd, plus a tricky turntable, shit 'Rihanna' requests while I blend records... But it was fun enough at the end of the day :)

Recorded on the DJR400 !

Waxist DJ Set @ La Marquise Boat (Lyon) - Oct. 2013

LOVE PENALTY Radio Show on LYL Radio | Waxist B2B Greg S

Second volume of the Modern Soul Bangers serie.
Most of the tracks are from the ending 70s with a couple ones from the very early 80s... And yes, most of them are OGs, apart from one Dubplate. 

I hope you'll like it as much as I enjoyed recording it!

Tracklist Soon !

Waxist - Modern Soul Bangers Vol. 2

Recording of a set I played @ Bambino (Paris) early January 2023

Live @ Bambino

Here is a mp3 preview of my edit of Prince Blackman's killer cover of this all time classic, turned into a reggae - disco mood & called "Rockers Delight". 

The edit is featured on @Culturesofsoul 's compilation 'Tropical Disco Hustle !' that is closed to be released as a CD & a gatefold LP. 

Pre-orders are available here 
http://culturesofsoul.bigcartel.com/product/tropical-disco-hustle-2lp

Read what Cultures Of Soul says about the compilation : 

"It seems like no part of the world has evaded discos’ ubiquitous influence, including the Caribbean. The Caribbean in the late ’70s and early ’80s was a hotbed of musical activity and this compilation focuses on the best disco-influenced tracks from Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, and the Bahamas. All of the tracks here were officially licensed and reissued for the first time ever.

Highlights of the 13 tracks included on this compilation are: the under-the-radar cosmic disco tune “Got To Have You” by Joanne Wilson, a rare P&P Records-influenced track “Dance With Me” by Odessey One, the icy cool synth-trenched “Living On A String” by Wild Fire, the incredible dance floor-friendly “Instant Funk” by Merchant, and the disco reggae cover of “Rapper’s Delight” by Prince Blackman. This compilation was compiled and researched by Deano Sounds and includes edits by Al Kent, the Whiskey Barons, and Waxist Selecta. Coming out on June 17th on CD and 2LP gatefold."




Prince Blackman - Rockers Delight [Waxist Edit] // Out Now on Cultures Of Soul // Low Res Preview

Episode 10th. 

I am very happy to provide this new Red Stripe Disco mix. Very first volume was recorded & put online about 3 years ago. I never expected to collect enough records to provide 10 mixes but finally here it is. 

As usual, you will find in it, apart from a couple of more obvious songs, rare & obscure Jamaican related Funk / Disco / Modern Soul & Soulful Reggae. 
Thus, this new episode is a selection of under the radar or hard to get records involving Jamaican musicians & producers, from the late 70's / early 80's, that I am bringing to you with luv!

All of the songs here are selected from the original vinyl source, a majority of it having been released in Jamaica (the remaining was released in the UK). Please apologize the crackling on some of the songs, but I wasn't able to source better copies... The Jamaican way! :)

Let's go deep into Jamaica funky music! 


Red Stripe Disco Vol. 10 - Selected & Mixed by Waxist

Kalita are delighted to announce the first ever official reissue of Billy Evans’ sought-after 1985 12” disco single 'Prisoner Of My Weakness'! Over thirty-five years since initial release, and long acclaimed by collectors, DJs and dance music fans, the time is ripe to share Billy’s music once more. 

Originally privately released in a small run on Billy’s own label Tee Records, Kalita’s 12” reissue single features both the vocal and incredible dub mix versions of ‘Prisoner Of My Weakness’, plus a brand-new phenomenal remix courtesy of Waxist, produced using the original multitrack analogue master tapes.

With original copies selling for triple figures on the rare occasion that they come up for sale, Kalita now deliver a loud and remastered 12” single for all.

Standing - Waxist Edit (Red Stripe Disco 002) * Sold Out!

I am really happy & honoured to announce the officially licensed release of this rare disco / modern soul gem from 1980. Here is my small story about this : I have been introduced to this record a few years back by DJ Klas. On the very first listen, it made me crazy & I went on an intensive & long quest to get myself a copy of the 45. It then became a kind of classics of my DJ sets, the record always being in my bag. It is definitely a sure shot for the dancefloor ! 

I then got in touch with the artist Lamar Thomas, first to try to get a spare copy, but after a few conversations on the web, I told myself it would be nice to give this rare & excellent record a new release. Pascal Rioux & Favorite Recordings finally agreed on the idea, and here it is. 

Very happy & honoured to have contributed to this nice release. Big thanks to Josh Goldman aka DJ Klas, Roger Thornill (for providing the original sleeve art) & to Favorite Recordings for believing in this project!

VA - Caribbean Disco Boogie Sounds - Selected by Waxist [Favorite Recordings] | Album Preview

Here comes a new Red Stripe Disco delivery with this 12th delivery. It finally took around 1 year to collect the records for this new episode. I could have waited a bit more (not all of the wants were cleared from the wantlist) but I wanted to drop that one within this summer. I had some nice surprises on the way though, that I am happy to share with you with this new mix! 

As usual, the selection focuses on "reggae not reggae" stuffs from the 70's / early 80's - ranging from killer UK Lovers Rock to Disco & Boogie, even a couple of Rap stuffs, with a few nice covers on the way. All of the records selected are related to Jamaica and/or Reggae labels, with one exception being from Trinidad... 

I hope this new episode will please your ears & feet, and will be helping finishing this nice 2016 summer in the nicest way possible! 
I have already started the quest for a 13th mix, with some dope records already on the list!

Really happy to share a quick low resolution preview of this new edit I've been working on over the last few months. 

It's a real pleasure & honor to have been asked to propose my own edit of this killer private disco song from the original stems. Originally released on the Various Artists Hometown Album II, this has always been a huge favorite of mine over the last years. 

This will be out soon (more news asap!) on Rain & Shine Records.

It will be featured on a 12" on CREE RECORDS to be released on November 29th, along with other remixes / edits from Nomad @nomad-one, Jus Now & Al Kent @milliondollardisco !

As usual, I gathered cool records related to Reggae & Jamaican artists. The selection here ranges from down-tempo soul ballads to dancing boogie things, through Lovers Rock & other smoking dubs. 

I guess it would be the perfect time to drop the mix now with the * HOT * weather here in Europe! 

Enjoy !!!

Rumours [Waxist Edit] - Out Now on Kaplan Records -  RTGK 02

Available as Vinyl LP & Digital on January 20th
Preorder on our Bandcamp: favoriterecordings.bandcamp.com/album/mes…by-waxist

SOL DISCOS, sub-label of Favorite Recordings, is extremely happy to introduce to you the second volume of their Message In Our Music compilation album, selected by WAXIST. This album is the result of more than two years of work in researching the original recordings, the artists involved & licensing the different songs.

A1. Sharnell Morton - You Are My Guiding Star
A2. Janice Nikki Harisson - Magic Of Love
A3. Direct Connec Shun - He's No Good
A4. The James Family - We've Got It Made
B1. Network & Co - Spirit Of The Boogie
B2. Marlon Hunter - Did You Forget My Number
B3. Spice Of Ice - Star Struck
B4. Executive Suite - When It Comes To Loving Me

Focusing once again on the Modern Soul genre, the album brings back to light eight extremely rare songs from the mid-70's to the mid-80's, all officially licensed.

From the heavy synth Gospel Boogie of Sharnell Morton's "You Are My Shining Star" to the magnificent Network & Co private Disco "Spirit Of The Boogie", most of these songs are highly challenging to find on their original format, not to mention at a decent price. Direct Connect Shun "He's No Good" records have been destroyed in a flood, and the few copies which have sold on the Internet reach the 3 figures price tags for example. Also, the album is proud to introduce to a wider audience some lesser-known but exceptional recordings such as Janice "Nikki" Harrison's "Magic Of Love" which is taken from a Broadway musical produced & composed by Ted Wortham - who also composed for Philadelphia International Recordings artists such as Teddy Pendergrass, Anthony White or Jean Carn.

Message In Our Music Volume 2 has been fully remastered, and features interview-based liner notes, along with never seen before pictures of the artists selected.
