Wax Poetics Vol. 3, Issue 2
Release date: August 4, 2026
Created by a group of writers and record diggers, this is the cult music mag featuring ‘trailblazers, cultures and stories that shape the sounds of yesterday, today, and beyond’, following its reader-supported relaunch in 2021, Wax Poetics is back.
Exploring hip-hop, funk, techno, tropicalia, jazz, and beyond, Wax Poetics covers everyone from ‘the greats, to the off-beat mavericks, and the scenes in-between.’ As they put it, ‘whether you’re a record head, or just starting to explore your passion for music, you’ll find something here for you.’
