A fan of bands like Nine Inch Nails, Korn and Deftones, Wax Wings grew up with a lot of dark and alternative influences. In his own words “I have an obsession with Marilyn Manson and my mum raised me on David Bowie.” Later exposed to the house and techno scene in Leeds, Wax began to DJ and learned to produce more electronic based music. The budding producer’s insatiable thirst for more quickly drove him to London where he studied Fine Art at UAL’s Camberwell College of Arts, solidifying his sound with South London influences. His music spans a range of genres, favouring sub-bass-driven blends of hip-hop, trip-hop, techno, trap, rock, dub, house, UK garage and dark electronica. Wax Wings is an injection of darkness, allowing Wax to express emotions and feelings that he’d rather not express in the everyday.  Signed off the back of an original remix spun during his DJ set in the early hours of an East London rave, Wax Wings immediately became part of The Weird and The Wonderful family. Three years later, he released two EPs on the label - System and The Love Inside Me, which both received incredible support from the likes of James Zabiela, Leftfield and George Fitzgerald. Critical acclaim has closely followed with coverage by Red Bull Music, ID, Complex, Dummy, Mixmag, DJ Mag, Notion, Clash to name but a few titles; and even a prime time US TV sync on CSI:Cyber.   Alongside his own releases, Wax has also found the time to work with artists from Skunk Anansie’s Skin through to the Dead Can Dance’s Lisa Gerrard and remix Maya Jane Coles, Nocturnal Sunshine, Eli & Fur, Zebra Katz, The Presets, Skindred and GAPS. With his own work having been remixed by dance music dignitaries like Jay Shepheard and Panorama Bar regular Alinka. Equally as successful as DJ, Wax has supported an ever growing list of the cream of the underground scene such as Chris Liebing, Ellen Allien, Kim Ann Foxman, Joris Voorn, Alan Fitzpatrick, Loco Dice, Adam Beyer, Pan-Pot, Heidi, Derrick Carter… In particular, Wax has now become Maya Jane Coles opener of choice at her events around the World, with Wax playing at Printworks, Hyte, XOYO, SW4, Ministry of Sound, Sankeys (Tokyo), EL Monasterio (Barcelona) and Secret Garden. Guest mixes have followed for Radar Radio, Rinse FM, Capital Xtra, The Selector and Data Transmission a like. With a strong appreciation for the art of performance, Wax’s appearances are more typical of a live show than a DJ set. Each element completely self-produced, from the production to BFX visuals, he firmly believes in taking his audience with him on a sensory journey. He has also applied this level of detail to his own club night Spin Cycle. So with two EPs and an album in the pipeline, 2018 is shaping up to be an exciting year for Wax Wings. Moving into what he calls a darker, more introspective sound, you can expect a unique, live feel with the producer’s debut album (release date TBC).   DJ Mag - “If Icarus’ flaw was flying too close to the sun, Wax Wings has just jumped on a rocket. This devilishly handsome young British-Brazilian is already a well oiled machine. Keep your eye on this bird as he’s about to soar.”   Complex UK - “The emerging producer looks to be right on track to cement his reputation as a producer blurring the lines between genres and styles with his uniquely dense production style.”   Pigeons and Peacocks - “Wax is a humble guy, he says he gets it from his parents, but it’s refreshing to hear an emerging artist not wanting to headline Lovebox or clubs in Ibiza.”   Data Transmission - “...we immediately took to his infectious, bubbly personality, this along with his unique style and talent is the reason why we expect Wax Wings to become a household name in the world of dance music.”
