Introducing .wax co producer on BRUKLEY CLASH and the final piece to the puzzle 😎
Ché has worked with some pretty big names including official remixes for The Sugarhill Gang, Confidence Man, Happy Mondays, Gabriels, Jarvis Cocker, and Irvine Welsh. Aside from his work in pop dance music, he keeps it real under various other secret aliases, with a number of releases on prestigious labels such as Fabric, Atjazz, Heavenly, Rough Trade, and Parlophone. He released his first independent record ‘Ché Wax Vol 1’ at the end of 2024, quickly reaching number 1 on the Juno Electro chart and becoming an all-time best-seller, with two outrageous acid house / electro reworks that have been played by Seth Troxler (at Fabric), Ruf Dug (on NTS), Milly On Air (at Boiler Room), and Make A Dance (at Glastonbury 2025). Following this he collaborated on a disco re-edit with Matica which came out on A&R Edits in early 2025, instantly topping the Juno disco chart after it excited the crowd when it was dropped by Colleen at Love Dancin’ (WOH24)
Spinning it back to his time as a touring musician, Ché was the drummer/bassist for Liverpool hip-hop collective Nutribe, in which Sticky Dub was one of three rappers. This led to the pair collaborating on some of Sticky’s early solo work in the studio and turning each other onto new sounds, where they both first explored the Bruk genre. In 2021 Ché first invited EVM to play in Liverpool for his secret location party after previously working with him on the Blind Arcade mixtape, intending to push this new Bruk movement on Scouse soil. With Sticky also on the bill, this link-up would eventually form the beginnings of ‘Brukley Clash’, following an overnight session in Luke’s studio in North Wales. The track quickly gained notoriety as an unreleased secret weapon as an infusion of UK garage, dub, and broken beat, and has been shutting down dances ever since.
