On the dance floors of a Romanian festival in the summer of 2017, under the influence of a cascade of musical magic, an idea incepted. The decision was made right in that moment for Jessi to constellate everything she loved about music. From the records, the DJ’s, The events and festivals and most importantly the mobility to morph them all together as one.
2018 was met with the determination to have dream and reality collide to create Wax Material, a culmination of symphonic function that pulls every corner of rave culture into its orbit.
Beginning from the humble appearance of a converted Ford Transit van with horse box on the rear arches, into a record selling, dynamic disco on wheels. Equipped with Funktion One sound system, two Technics 1210s, Xone 92 mixer, extra PA system for added oomph and it even has a disco ball, not to mention the tantalising selection of records on offer.
Six years on and the mark Wax Material has left on the music scene is stained. It’s an easily recognisable figure for crate diggers and partygoers alike at any festival or event across the UK and brings a vibe so infectious its a credit to any organisers wishing to add an extra dimension to the experience on offer.
Jessi has big plans ahead for the not-so-average record store, from collaborations in the corporate world, tours, stages at festivals, wedding and event planning. Wax Material really is living up to it’s slogan, Wax Material_To the world.
