Berlin-based house music label producing vinyl and digital releases. AoW’s music is true to the roots of house music; these are releases for the dancers.
Ascension on Wax is a Berlin-based house music label that collaborates with visual artists and dance music producers for vinyl releases. AoW works with contemporary producers influenced by the jazzy and soulful sound that flourished in the 90s US east coast scene. The foundations of AoW were the Berlin Ascension parties in 2019, organised by two best friends for their friends and extended circle.
The aim was to add to the techno-heavy capital of Germany more of a jazz and soul flavour. The combination of art with dance music releases came about after one of the AoW founders met up with the late Dan Graham in 2021 for lunch. A legendary artist, director of the No-Wave Rock My Religion Film and Essays, and Detroit techno enthusiast, Graham offered to collaborate for the debut release. AoW will continue to work with contemporary visual artists and dance music producers in the future, providing certified limited pressings with beautiful artwork alongside the label's standard DJ releases. The name Ascension is a homage to John Coltrane’s ground-breaking 1966 Free-Jazz Ascension album. It honours jazz’s place in the formation of house music, and the jazzy deep house sound.
The wonderful and energetic .h.bui with our Dan Graham Limited edition of Glenn Davis’s Space and Time EP. Phong founded and runs the iconic art magazine in New York which is in its 24th year and miraculously still remains in print and free. ♥️♥️♥️
We are excited to announce the release of our Dan Graham Authorised Artwork Limited Edition of Glenn Davis’s Space and Time EP. This was one of the last projects Dan collaborated on, it is the first time his Eleven Sugar Cubes artwork has been printed on a record gatefold format and the first time it has been printed in a mass produced format since its debut in Art in America Magazine in 1970, 54 years ago.
This is a beautiful release we hope Dan would have been proud of and it’s aimed at Art and Music Enthusiasts who want a rare truly special collectors items to add to their collection.
Along with the rich New York City art and music club history with the Mudd Club being at the centre of this scene in the early 1980’s were also a huge inspiration for us to start making these vinyl art editions as part of our label as they have done some truly wonderful art and music limited edition collaborations over the past decade.
Each of the edition of 150 records has been hand numbered on the gatefold and centre vinyl sticker.
You can purchase the Dan Graham Limited Edition release via our website aowmusic.com which is also in our Link Tree Insta Bio.

Why is our label called Ascension In Wax? Here is some context with two stunning 1960’s Jazz albums which influenced us not only with the design of our limited edition releases but also in the connection between house music jazz and the jazzy deep house sound which developed in the 1990’s which we love so much. 🖼️ 🔊 🚀 💫 😻🔥 Music here is @markhandsound incredible remix of @glenndavis003 Girl U Gotta #aowmusic #ascensiononwax #glenndavis #spaceandtimeep #aowlimitededitions #deephouse #housemusic #housemusicandjazz #dangraham

This weeks spotlight track is Feel It by legendary house producer Ian Pooley @ianpooley.ofc . This comes off the album Relations from 1995 which is a really eclectic album with genius sampling along with soul, acid and a punchiness throughout.A true classic! If you like the music buy the vinyl or buy the album digitally and support the artist. If Ian is playing near you anytime soon go see him play he always kills it and I promise you won’t be disappointed. Let us know if you dig the music. 🔥🚀🔊🕺💃🌟 #housemusic #housemusicallnightlong #90shouse #ianpooley #aowspotlighttracks
Aow updates and our Spotlight Track for this week which is Vince Watson - Forever @vincewatson_official from the Another Moment in Time Album last year but originally released in 2021 not 2022 (my bad) but if you like it buy it, but the album and support the artist. ✨✨ The whole album has tons of jazz reference and is a really great work in itself. Vince Watson is originally from Scotland is a phenomenal producer and has been on the scene for nearly 25 years. I highly recommend you check out his other work on Discogs especially the mystical rhythm EP. 👨🎨😃🔥🚀🔊 #housemusic #deephouse #housemusicallnightlong #vincewatson #aowspotlighttracks
