"High Impact Hard House". These are the words by which Kung Fu Wax abides by. Started up during the last quarter of 2007 by Canadian DJ and producer Benjamin Leung aka Rodi Style, Kung Fu Wax is the newest vinyl label entry into the hard house scene and is the only vinyl Canadian record label at this moment. After a few years of having his music released on various record labels, Rodi Style decided that it was only fitting to start his own. With the backing, support and distribution help of Toolbox, Kung Fu Wax hopes to spread it's sound around the world.

A. Rodi Style - Jump
B. Rodi Style - Let Go
B2. Rodi Style - Spelling Bee

Kung Fu Wax's first release see's label boss Rodi Style take the reigns for a massive 3 tracker.

"Jump" is an uplifting energy fueled monster with a melodic riff teasing until a roaring main riff filled with dirt and other grimey materials. Backed by a rapid bassline and a sneaky vocal melody makes this track a peak time floor filler.

"Let Go" is a grittier hard house track with it's no nonsense riff and fx stabs. Urging the listener to "just let go", this track will render the dancefloor unconscious with it's hard hitting melody.

"K.I.C.K.A.S.S. that's the way we spell success" is the motto of "Spelling Bee". A groovy bassline thumps in the background as an entire cheerleading squad carries the track. The main lead consists of a quirky hoover and the listener is treated to a filtered funk stab throughout the track. A worthy item in a kung fu master's arsenal.

A. Karl Davis & Defective Audio - Big Rich the Needle Pusher
B. Ben Stevens & Rodi Style - Chaos Theory

Kung Fu Wax's 2nd release comes from some of Hard House's finest producers.

The A side offering is from Ireland's Karl Davis and the legend that is Dom Sweeten aka Defective Audio. "Big Rich the Needle Pusher" is a chunky nugget of hard house material filled with oldschool stabs and vocal fills. A filtering frenzy of nasty synths litter the track with a memorable vocal. This track hits harder than a charged up super fireball.

Complimenting the punishing A side is the massive "Chaos Theory" from Vicious Circle's Ben Stevens and newly signed Tidy addition Rodi Style. Look no further if u want a pounding bassline and hair tearing synths. Teasing only slightly with the possibility of a groovey bassline, this track immediately hits u hard like an unsuspecting pie to the face. You'll be striking terror into the dancefloor with this bomb!

A. Ben Stevens & Rodi Style - In Control
B. Dave Curtis - Snapshot
B2. FKM, Sonik & Riggsy - Oh Yeah

Kung Fu Wax's 3rd release comes in the form of 3 superb slabs of martial arts musical madness.

Punching it's way into side A is the massive "In Control" by Vicious Circle's wonderboy Ben Stevens and Kung Fu's Rodi Style. This track encompasses it all with a moody break you might remember from a popular movie building hauntingly with a melodic riff that builds up until it's full peak before blindsiding you with a completely different main hook. Complete with a bass change that accompanies the two peak synths, this track has been doing the damage across dancefloors for some time by the big players.

Backflipping over to the other side is a name you will come to recognize over the next few months. Dave Curtis brings us his excellent track "Snapshot" engineered by the great Nick Sentience. What a track this is, Dave has really shown his ninja skills with some cleverly styled breakbeats, stabs and scratch sounds. The slowly filtered in main riff helps drive this track to a momentum building conclusion.

What's a 3rd release for Kung Fu Wax without an added bonus of a 3rd track? Filling the last grooves of the vinyl "Oh Yeah" by the talented Riggsy along with FKM & Sonik. Hammering all the way through with a driving no nonsense direction into a crafty breakbeat before exploding into some heavy and dark synthwork, these guys show they mean business. Solid package rounded off by these rising stars.
