Description

Magazine – Vol. 2 Issue 1

Wax Poetics was established in 2001 as a high-water mark for music journalism and is dedicated to preserving that legacy, presenting thoroughly researched, well-written, informative articles along with the dynamic design and artwork that has been our trademark from the start. A crucial component of this visual aesthetic is the use of original, specially commissioned illustrations by tremendous graphic artists, both established and up-and-coming. In the first issue, we are proud to present a gorgeously rendered wood-cut image of cover story feature, Marvin Gaye, by Australian artist A.Kid.

Along with Gaye, Issue 01 features pieces on foundational figures in hip-hop, iconic soul legends, instigators of Brazilian musical invasion, and a tribute to a Jamaican legend—a diverse mix that will make the true Wax Poetics fan proud.

The future is also in our sights. New content partnerships will provide a look at new trends and creative approaches to presenting relevant cultural content. Our first partnership is with the influential, Amsterdam based lifestyle brand, Patta.
