NATHAN WOMACK - "SONG OF THE WHITE CRANE" FEAT. JOEL "FUNKWAYS" RICCI.
Following 2022's kaleidoscopic, street-sweeping Lagu Loops LP, ingenious crate-digger Nathan Womack has zoomed back to his funk and soul roots on his new single, boom-bapping into humid, Vietnamese garage-rock intrigue.

Wax Thématique's 20th release, "Song Of The White Crane" pays tribute to China's iconic and mythical bird, often seen gracefully arcing through the country's skies and posting up near canals in Womack's home base of Kunming.

"This type of music might seem weird to some. It’s deep and spiritual. We put a lot of love into our craft. That’s what we care about in Afrocop — soundscapes and ambient textural movements, flying by the seat of our pants, going into random areas that can be scary and seeing what it produces. Nothing comes from no risks, right?" - Noel Brass Jr.

We've put together a mini-compilation to aid those affected by the devastating Southern California wildfires. Wax Thematique will donate 100% of the proceeds of this project to the MusiCares Organization. Thank you for your support of those in need! And remember, Music is the healing force.
