> Who is this Wax Doctor dude? Photek? Alex Reece?
Wax Doctor is a mate of Alex Reece, and they produce similar sort of
stuff. Alex Reece has just been given his own sub-label of Island,
called (excitingly) 'Al's Records', which will be an outlet for him, Wax
Doctor and Pym. The three of them collaborate quite a bit, eg:
Wax Doctor and Alex Reece = Jazz Juice (Precious Materials)
Alex Reece and Pym = Original Playboys (R&S)
Wax Doctor's 'Atmospheric Funk' (Talkin Loud) is worth checking out,
and he's also done two EPs for Metalheadz. Reece's stuff on Metalheadz
is his best, especially 'Basic Principles' and 'Pulp Fiction'.
Photek (Rupert Parkes) is the one to watch though. He's just signed a
5-album deal with Virgin, and been given his own sub-label, 'Science',
which will put out whatever he feels like, including 'stuff with no
beats at all'. His Photek label is excellent, volume 6 is out soon and
it's wicked. He's also done an EP for Metalheadz, and a lot of things
for Good Looking/Looking Good as Aquarius.
