Wax Poetics videos cover a wide variety of subjects related to jazz, soul, Latin, hip-hop, and R&B both vintage and contemporary, approaching this exciting material with the same dedication to honesty and clarity as the lauded print publication of the same name. Wax Poetics, the magazine, released its first issue in 2001 as a source of news, essays, and interviews for music fanatics and vinyl record collectors. The magazine began when Andre Torres came to the realization that no reliable publications existed that dealt with die-hard record collecting. At the time, Torres was working on a documentary in New York City that would focus on the record collecting culture. Hip-hop producers and DJs can spend days digging through bins of old records in music shops, hoping to find the perfect sample for their next beat. Torres decided to create a publication that would tap into this underground culture, approaching contemporary music from a whole new angle. Wax Poetics has since become revered for both the excellence of its content and the beauty of its design, and the videos produced by the magazine are made with the same dedication to presentation.MORE
