Overview
Hosted by Wax Poetics Editor Andrew “Monk-One” Mason, each episode focuses on a different city, with a local artist or DJ acting as our guide, taking listeners through what the city’s musical history means to them, how it influenced their life and career, and ultimately how music helped shape the qualities of the city itself.
In each show you’ll hear personal stories from the artists, plus their hand-selected music chosen to give you an insider’s view of the city's sounds.

Episode 1
Episode 1: Danny Krivit explores New York City
In this first episode—a one-off, two-hour special—we speak to native New Yorker Danny Krivit, an integral part of the New York DJ scene over the past 30 years who’s renowned for his meticulous re-edits and transcendent DJ sets.
In the first half we talk to Danny about the changes he’s seen in the city over the years, and what it means to be a DJ from New York City. In the second half we get a very special, classic New York-style mix from Danny himself.

Episode 2
Episode 2: Waajeed explores Detroit
In this second episode of the series we head to Detroit and speak to veteran producer and DJ, Waajeed. Waajeed is also the director of the newly formed Underground Music Academy, a Detroit-based school whose mission it is to build future leaders of electronic music through education and mentorship.
In the first half of the show, Waajeed and our host, Wax Poetics Editor Andrew Mason, explore the true meaning of Techno and its Detroit origins, and just how deeply the essence of the city of Detroit has influenced the world-changing music it has produced. The show wraps up with Waajeed's genre-spanning selection of tunes that illustrate the classic Detroit sound.
