LOOK OUT FOR NEW RELEASES ON WAX-DIGITAL - COMING VERY SOON

In the early 1990's a new genre of urban style dance music emerged from an already popular and ever growing rave culture in the UK. It was hardcore in its purest and earliest form. Producers who were former B-Boys started sampling from hip-hop's heritage and injecting sped up hip hop breaks and interweaving them with all manner of craziness including old reggae licks, uplifting piano riffs, dirty techno stabs, samples from kids TV shows and even a certain cat who told us the dangers of our public highways!!! It was this almost unashamed experimentation that gave the music a freshness and a feeling of raw energy the likes of which had never been known before. Carved out by teenagers sweating it out in bedroom studios, rattling out a few hundred white labels and selling them to underground London record shops from the back of a van. A multitude of self propelled musical missionaries inspired by the party, creating music for the party and each one of us believing that sentiment that "Hardcore will never die". By 1992 the genre had taken the nation by storm. It was a magical and euphoric time for those who experienced it, however it was short lived and by the end of 1993 it had mutated itself into something completely different. The vibe changed at the parties and this sound was lost. A decade later Warehouse Wax was launched as a spearhead label for the reincarnation of a genre of music that spawned so many others. The original idea to start the label was conceived by Vinyl Junkie and Darkus in 2002 and shortly afterwards they teamed up with the legendary Austin Reynolds of Suburban Base fame and recorded a few tracks which would eventually become wax 001. After the release of wax 002 Darkus decided it was time to leave and set up his own label (Hardcore Projektz) leaving control of Warehouse Wax in the capable hands of Vinyl Junkie. Today, up to their twelfth release, Warehouse Wax still continue to release hardcore breaks of the finest quality.

We are putting together another compilation Album called "We're still not dead (The Sequel)". If your making hardcore breaks and you want to submit a track for possible inclusion, please get in contact....
