Wax Motif
Wax Motif plays house music that leans on R&B, disco and UK bass, and he runs his own imprint, Divided Souls Records, as the source describes. Los Angeles is home base for him, which is why his name turns up on local bills so often. In late September 2026 we listed him at Grand Park in downtown Los Angeles, and again at an Exchange LA afterparty on Spring Street the same night. His own site carries tour dates and merch, so that is the place to look for the next show.
Daniel Chien better known as Wax Motif is regarded as a major orchestrator in developing the house sound across the US. With musical influences like R&B, disco and U.K. bass, the Australian-born, LA-based producer brings a unique style to the studio, making him a highly sought-after producer. In late 2019, Wax founded his very own imprint, Divided Souls Records, with the lead single for the imprint of the same name, "Divided Souls" Ft. Diddy. The imprint has first and foremost served as a home for the Wax's hot streak of solo originals, as well as a collection of collabs, including Diplo, Matroda, AC Slater, 220Kid, Euro Trash and manymore.
