Trance Wax is a true master of his craft…

It was almost inevitable that growing up with a love for trance would eventually result in Garry McCartney releasing his own interpretations of the sound. From Trance Wax’s origins in 2016 as an outlet for the Belfast-based artist’s remixes of the genre, the alias of Ejeca is firmly cemented as a key player in the contemporary trance landscape.

He now shifts into a fresh artistic chapter, having shared the previous self-titled album via Anjunabeats amidst a period where dancefloors were merely a figment of the imagination. Sophomore album ‘Open Up The Night’ via independent dance label Armada Music is a club-oriented 16-track heater, championed by front runners including The xx’s Romy, Keinemusik and KI/KI.

This artistic drive of Trance Wax – unapologetically sharing the genre he loves in innovative ways – directly correlates to the recognition garnered since the birth of the project some years ago. A Radio 1 Essential Mix in the alias’ early days set precedent for the forthcoming success for the already-respected artist, landing during a period where the genre was almost taboo to audibly enjoy. Add a Boiler Room in Montreal, a helping of self-titled US-based radio shows with Insomniac and a string of sold out white label vinyl to the mix – plus collaborations with icons of the trance genre including Ferry Corsten and Moya Brennan, and remixes for key players including Solomun and Agents Of Time – and you can understand the scale of appreciation for Trance Wax.

Making his debut to a Thick as Thieves event, is Papa Smuf, one of the most sought after names in Australia. Garnering a dedicated following with his vinyl-only sets that traverse trance, prog, and techno, the Papa Smurf brand knows no limitations.

Joined by a class selection of local support and Thick as Thieves Agency DJs, this will be a party from start to finish!


Meet you at the cage!
