a proper player during jungle's rise from the underground during
1995-96, paul saunders' techno background hardly prepared
listeners for the mellowed-out vibes and liquid tones of his work
as wax doctor. tracks like "kid caprice" (for metalheadz) and
"atmospheric funk" (for talkin' loud) were closely allied to l.t.j
bukem's junglite fusion though just a bit chunkier. saunders began
djing in the late '80s, and though he juggled part-time mixing
with a full-time football career for awhile (appearing as a
reserve with reading and later crystal palace), the wax doctor
eventually debuted on production as well with several singles for
basement records during 1992-93. he worked with fellow techno-head
alex reece on creative wax and precious materials, but began
drifting towards the growing drum'n'bass fascination with the
lighter tones of jazz fusion. his singles for metalheadz and
talkin' loud signalled the new direction, and saunders signed to
r&s -- noted more for listening techno than drum'n'bass -- for two
1996 singles, "all i need" and "heat." wax doctor contributed a
remix to label-mate juan atkins for a model 500 single, "the
flow." r&s released the retrospective selected works in 1998.
the original broadcast from 19th april 1996 was actually a session
with wax doctor's counterpart alex reece. however, the rebroadcast
was split into two parts, with the first part being released a week
earlier.
