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

Recording of most of my April 2022 set @frequencebarparis 

I decided to go for mostly 45s (with a few 12" still) because of a painful sciatica I have been carrying for several weeks. Enjoy!

98% 45s, a few 12" & a Sciatica - Live @ Frequence (Paris) | April 2022

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."

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!

Live DJ Set  recorded on Saturday June 20th @ Le Sucre club in Lyon for the Black Summer where I was playing along with Sadar Bahar from Chicago & Fabylicious from Lyon. 

That was great fun & one of the best party I had recently, with a high energy crowd dancing till daylight! 

To add some fun, one of the turntables had a damaged arm, so blendings were quite difficult & we had to replace it during Sadar's set - which was simply incredible as usual!

Waxist Warm Up For Theo Parrish @ Free Your Funk (Paris)

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.

Happy to be able to share with you a new Red Stripe Disco episode, two years after the precedent one! 
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.
