Wax Poetic is aNew York-basedtrip hop band. The band came together in 1997 founded by Turkish musicianIlhan Erşahin, who is still a current member, playing tenor saxophone and keys. The group originated at the now defunct clubSave the Robots, and consisted of a group of musicians jamming together. The band's music is noted for its "heavy groove ofdrum and bass, blended with quickdance elements." The band signed toAtlantic Records in the late '90s and released their debut self-titled album in June 2000.[1]
