Inheritance Wax...the story so far.

Inheritance Wax started a few years ago, when working  with the elderly in Liverpool, UK. As they passed on, relatives would come and clear their homes of all belongings, including their recrd collections.
Being a dj and producer, as well as nostalgic for the days when you could walk into some ones place, glance at the record collection and book shelf and get a sense of what that person is about, Ashwan salvaged the records and set about making new record covers and sampling and remixing the original vinyl to create new art from the old.
The project is heavily hip hop influenced but instead of hours of crate digging, the sample base has come from this limited palate, with the hope that a different and unique sound will entail that also somehow pays tribute to the artists Liverpool roots.
The music is free to download, while the original vinyl covers will be sealed in air tight bubbles for preservation, turning the discarded object back into one of value and meaning.  These will be exhibited together with the music over the coming months in the UK and across Europe.
