Wax:On presents Pearson Sound, Jackmaster, Boddika, Dusky & more!
Now for this line up. We’ve got label owners (three in fact), a Leeds debut performance and a whole host more for your listening pleasure.
Jackmaster is the head honcho of Numbers Records, one of the most successful imprints within the bass music canon of recent years. Through his Numbers camp he has released a slew of records from the likes of Deadboy, Roska, Untold, Jamie XX, Mosca and more recently Randomer. Not only securing his record label as one of the most exciting new imprints at the heart of the scene, he has also proved himself as the crème de la crème of selector on the scene.
With electronic music becoming more polished and quantized, Boddika’s arrival has shaken the scene to its very core, slamming down with a raw take on things that’s making all journalists scramble for the right genre tag. Is it electro? Techno? Old? New? Harking the expansive sounds of Luke Vibert, the analogue programming of Juan Atkins early work, and the rawness of the Drexciya/Dopplereffekt family, Boddika is the newest project of Al Green, 1/2 of the boundary-pushing duo that’s re-written the rules completely, Instra:mental.
London based producers Alfie Granger-Howell and Nick Harriman make house music that’s inseparable from the genre’s tradition but comes with both a widescreen ambition and a distinctly UK underground edge. Timeless, fresh, both classic and contemporary and unmistakably theirs, Dusky's sound is influenced by everything from deep Detroit techno and bumping UK garage to classical and avant-garde electronica. We are honoured to provide the platform for their debut performance in Leeds.
Room 1:
Pearson Sound
Formally known as Ramadanman, Pearson Sound co-ordinates a successful record label (Hessle Audio), and undoubtedly stands as one of the most innovative producers to immerge from the UK in the last 5 years. He decided against releasing his latest 12’ with the normal label channels but instead through a new imprint appropriately named Pearson Sound.

People Get Real
Since 2002 Simon Lister and Peter Wilson aka People Get Real have been consistently and thoroughly bringing their brand of dance-floor terrorism to parties in their native Newcastle, across the UK and beyond. 2011 also saw them launch their own “Join Our Club” imprint, which has seen them release not only their own productions but also from It’s a Fine Line, Tom Ellis, Eskimo Twins and more.
