Wax Audio – 9 Countries [download page]

Our man,  the one and only Wax Audio just released this unique album. 9 Countries has been in production for the last 4 years. It was recorded entirely on location in Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Burma, India, Tibet, Egypt and Greece. The album was then produced using these recordings exclusively. On a personal level it’s the most meaningful Wax Audio production to date.

Here is a little snippet

Wax Audio – Jokhang [mp3]
Workers singing as they stamp down a newly laid mud roof atop the Jhokang Temple in Lhasa, Tibet // Chanting monks and other temple sounds at Gyantse Kumbum in Gyantse, Tibet // Temple drums at the Chennakesava Temple in Belur, Karnataka, India // Eid ul-Fitr Parade (drums) on the streets of Yogyakarta, Java, Indonesia

Wax Audio‘s Enter You was one of the best mashups in 2008
and look, The Reborn Identity made this brilliant video for it
so we can enjoy this mash again and again with pictures this time
the mp3 is in our original post

Wax Audio finally released his long awaited MASHOPOLOS II album. Mashopolos II – The Mashening is a comprehensive collection of Wax Audio’s 2008 mash output, tweaked, re-jigged, sexed-up and optimized for maximum earhole penetration. The Mashening will take you kicking and screaming though an aural landscape of dirty electro, head banging metal, funk, blues, jazz, belly dance grooves, Indian drum’n'bass, film scores and good old fashioned toe-tappin rock’n'roll. Now then, dim the lights, pour yourself a drink, spark up a number, whip up a glass of Milo (or whatever it is that makes your sensory receptors all that more excitable), recline on your most comfortable sofa, place your most expensive headphones on your noggin and let The Mashening do the rest…

You can download or preview individual tracks or grab the whole album as a zip file on his download page .

Here is one of the new previously unreleased tracks to make you move.

Following his previous ‘Iron Maiden VS Bollywwod’ mash Wax Audio is back with another timeless instant classic folk mash. Listening his mashes we start to believe that the world can be a better place if artists from different cultures can collaborate.
