While everyone looks forward to spooky season and Halloweekend, I’m still thinking about the world club premier of Waxtroda. The collaborative project from Wax Motif and Matroda debuted at EDC Orlando last year. Then a few weeks ago on October 11, they sold out one of America’s landmark nightclub venues, The Brooklyn Mirage, with a first-ever extended 4+ hour club set.
The set captivated the crowd and kept us moving all night long. In fact, they blew past the four-hour mark and kept the club open past the 4am curfew because the crowd couldn’t get enough. The two house producers teased a ton of new IDs and the cream of the crop will likely feature on their forthcoming Waxtroda EP. Although they officially started their Waxtroda project last year, Wax Motif and Matroda have previously released two collaborative songs.
In 2019, they dropped their first collab, “Lose Control,” on Wax’s Divided Souls label. Then in 2022, they renewed their partnership to release “La Candela Viva” on HARD Recs. Lucky for us, from what I heard at the show, they have a handful of heaters getting their finishing touches before they go on the new EP. Now, the only question is how long we will have to wait until they start releasing songs under the new Waxtroda project. Hopefully, they don’t make us wait too much longer before they drop some new tunes.
For those looking for the next chance to dance to the sexy beats of Waxtroda, they are scheduled for another festival set at the upcoming Seismic Dance Event in Austin, TX on the weekend of November 15 – 17. To keep up with all the latest news and announcements about the Waxtroda project, be sure to follow their new IG account and check in on their individual social media channels too.
