Wax Journal is a passion project of Corné van den Bos, who has spent over a decade in the cultural and music industry digging, designing, and developing value on the web. It began as a personal map of record stores, listening bars, Hi-Fi restaurants and cafés around the world — and grew into a directory to make discovering music destinations easier and more intentional.
Every venue featured in Wax Journal is handpicked for its musical identity, cultural relevance, and atmosphere. Quality over quantity, always.
We don’t map cities. We map meaning, through the ears of the community: diggers, DJs, collectors, shop owners, and everyday listeners who know where the soul is hiding.
