Planet Wax is a record shop, dubplate-cutting studio and bar at 318 New Cross Road in south-east London (SE14 6AF) that doubles as a social hub and live space for the city's underground electronic communities. The shop specialises in dubstep, jungle, house, techno and UK garage, while the bar — stocked with craft beers and cocktails — hosts regular in-store events, weekly Open Decks sessions and DJ sets, and the venue also runs radio shows on Rinse FM and Kool FM. As the home of 1-800-Dubplate, it's both a working cutting house and a grassroots gathering point for DJs and producers in New Cross.
