Full line-up announced for Wax:On

For party pioneers Wax:On, the autumn isn’t the starting point. Continuing their heady assault on the senses throughout the summer, September just ensures another instalment is crammed fuller than usual. And that means another sterling effort from them, this time resulting in two of the strongest and most versatile DJs currently plying their trade in the globe’s discotheques.

Top of this bill is none other than Boys Noize. The Berlin native has been expressing a filthier side to the city’s electronic music heritage, eschewing the smooth drawn out house and techno the city is currently pumping around the planet for a grittier sound.

Stapling blistering electro and techno to an effusive acid undercurrent, it’s a sound that barricades clubbers into dancing, a sonic assault that takes no prisoners.

His original productions have lit up the boxes of DJs like Erol Alkan, Miss Kitten and DJ Hell, whilst his recent remix of Maurice Joshua’s warehouse classic ‘This is Acid’ stands up to his superlative fine-tuning of Bloc Party. Easily one of the hottest stars in dance music right now, Wax:On welcome him back for his head rush theatrics.

Joining him will be turntable impresario A-Trak, the youngest ever winner of the DMC world championship at the tender age of 15 in 1997! First coming to people’s attentions through his light fingered excursions through funk and hip hop, A-Trak was the first DMC stable DJ to embrace European dance music, and in particular the cut up French histrionics of the Ed Banger crew.

Cutting up Justice side by side with Jay-Z, his ground breaking vision of expanding his party remit saw the likes of Craze following suit, not to mention Kanye West getting jiggy with Daft Punk after witnessing A-Trak’s sets during his stint as his tour warm-up DJ.

And joining both of these will be Wax:On’s own beat smith TC Monckton, whose irrepressible cacophony of funk, breaks, electro and hip-hop has been inciting riots in Newcastle for many moons.

Wax:On Fri September 5th @ Digital, Time, Square, Newcastle, NE1 4EP
