Wax On

Great podcast that allows you to discover new tracks, new artists, and even new genres. Ken (often joined by the lovely Ms. Lina) is your tour guide through various cities, feelings, and decades, showing you the hidden gems of each. Ken, would highly recommend the band Cherub. Year of the Caprese is a life changing album. UPDATE: AFTER 3 LONG YEARS… WE BACK BABY!!!

To be up front, Wax On has an erratic release schedule to say the least. There can be months between episodes, but it is totally worth the wait. After all, Ken is a touring musician, and the podcast is an absolute bonus. Any day I wake up and refresh my podcast feed to see a new episode is a great day. If you enjoy any of Ken’s work (but especially Person L and Vacationer), Wax On feels like a window into his process and is a great way to expand your own tastes. Thanks to this podcast, my record collection has grown to include certain artists like Khruangbin, Shame, The Sidekicks, and Hurry among others that I don’t think I would have found on my own. Wax On really is like having that awesome friend that knows your tastes and makes the best recommendations. Give this podcast a shot if you’re into Ken’s stuff, but subscribe because Lina’s picks kill it every single time.

Wax On is my favorite podcast. Thank you for introducing me to the Philly Sound, Barry White, and Isaac Hayes among so many others. Super happy to hear a new episode last week. Hoping for more in the weeks to come. Thank you Ken and Lina. Keep ‘em coming!

Loved hearing the influences behind mindset. How did you get the bass sound inspired by the groove in Levitation? I’d love to try working on that sound.
