Wax Mekanix Interview 2/1/2026 AUDIO ONLY

Welcome to The Record Machine Show. I’m James Michael Hollenstein, and today I’m welcoming back an artist who never stops moving forward — creatively, culturally, or personally. Waxim “Wax” Ulysses Mekanix is an American musician, songwriter, performer, producer, and a founding member of the NWOBHM cult rockers Nitro. His work is raw, authentic, and uncompromising — shaped by decades of lived experience and a creative voice that can’t be manufactured. When Wax writes, he isn’t chasing trends or comfort. He’s responding — to a rapidly changing America, to personal truth, and to the tension between the outer world and the inner voice. From the sharp cultural commentary of Mobocracy to the deeply reflective moments on Psychotomimetic, every release is part of one long, honest conversation. And today, we’re picking that conversation back up. We’ll be talking about “Naked,” a quiet but fearless meditation on exposure — a song that strips away armor and illusion, leaving only truth. Where “Look At You Now” reflected acceptance and self-awareness, “Naked” steps forward into confrontation. It’s guided by feeling over production, space over noise, and honesty over comfort. We’ll also dig into “Saltwater Sisters,” a raw and spontaneous creative explosion released later in 2025 — written and recorded in a single day at SAKRED Studios in Philadelphia. Urgent, unfiltered, and emotionally charged, it captures the beautiful contradictions of America without preaching or resolving anything. It simply bears witness.
