Wax On is our vinyl-only mix series, presenting the electronic music scene’s true crate diggers. Number 03 sees Going Good Records boss Brian Not Brian take the helm.
A true DJs DJ, and, as an unequivocal vinyl enthusiast, Brian Not Brian is an absolute doozy as the next in our Wax On series.
Real name Brian Morrison, the Belfast-born Brixton-based selector is revered for the era spanning sets that have seen him spin his annual slot at Farr Festival this summer, hit Dekmantel Selectors and Meadows in the Mountains, as well as tour across Australia through December.
His encyclopedic knowledge of music old and new also saw Morrison launch Going Good Records with his close friend and collaborator, Salik Z. Having released music from The Mystic Jungle Tribe, Nummer (if you missed ‘Second Sight’, don’t sleep) and Ewan Jonson, Morrison jokingly says the project is an “attempt at trying to look cool while making loads of money off the backs of other talented individuals.”
Morrison recorded his Wax On mix in what he says is his favourite place to play records: his front room with his girlfriend. “There's no-one asking for track IDs or taking pictures. No bouncers or bad vibes,” he laughs. “And if one wants one can indulge in strange dancing without repercussions.”
He also says there’s no set concept to the mix. “It’s just a free-wheeling jaunt through some dusty, well thumbed 12"s and LPs that I currently like, new and old,” he concludes. “Grab a stack, feel it out and hit record really.”
