Originally hailing from Tayport and now based in Edinburgh, J Wax burst onto the electronic music scene in 2019 with his debut EP Port to Port, featuring fan favourites like “Uber.” Since then, he has quickly carved out a reputation as a dynamic and genre-fluid DJ and producer. With a compact yet impactful discography, J Wax has earned acclaim through standout releases on respected labels including Future Classic, Headroom Records, and PRESSURE.
A founding member of the forward-thinking collective and label Palidrone, J Wax is known for his eclectic and high-energy sets that effortlessly span breakbeat, garage, and techno—cementing his status as one of Scotland’s most exciting rising talents in underground electronic music.
In 2020, he released the Blink EP on Inverness-based Kouncil Cuts, followed by the 2022 Demersal EP on Future Classic, which featured “Oceans”—a breakout track selected for the official F1 23 video game soundtrack. The momentum continued with the 2023 1997 EP on Headroom Records, and further with high-impact singles like “Nasty” and “Brat” in 2024, both spotlighted by Mixmag as Tracks of the Year (So Far).
With growing industry support from names such as Pete Tong, Sarah Story, Jaguar (BBC Radio 1 “Dancefloor Moment”), and BBC Radio Scotland’s Artist in Focus, J Wax’s reach continues to expand. He’s been championed by leading figures including Peggy Gou, Interplanetary Criminal, Main Phase, DJ Seinfeld, and Job Jobse.
In 2024 and 2025, J Wax debuted internationally with shows in Japan, Belgium, and Ireland. Looking ahead, he’s gearing up for a slate of exciting collaborations with THELMA, ELOQ and many more!
