Black Mighty Wax aka Cesare Cera starts working in the music circuit in the late 70’s, playing as drummer and percussionist with various groups of the Italian funk-jazz scene. During the 80’s he works as radio dj broadening his music knowledge and becoming more and more passionate of 70’s funk-soul, jazz and disco spinning these sounds several nights in various clubs. In the early 90’s with the explosion of house music he finds inspiration to start his first productions teaming up with Soundhands & Elise naming the group BE NOIR. With "Love Themes" and “Give me your love”, Be Noir received very good response from dj’s in the US, UK or Japan doing well also in specialist charts worldwide. Co-founder of the Irma Records during those days, working for the label like Int’l Label Manager and producer.He’s the mind behind several compilation series for Irma and sub-labels.In the latest 20 years while still working as label manager for Irma he produces some original tracks under the names of Black Mighty Wax, DJ Moses, South Park, The Unkempt, Dancefloor Syndicate.
The sound of these productions is very much oriented towards funk/jazz, disco and house with electronic elements, use of samplers (he’s a DJ…) and real instruments (he’s a musician…). Black Mighty Wax is hosting the ‘Irma Nights’ in various clubs or exclusive places where he likes to propose productions from the label and what he likes more starting from early ’70 until today!A selection that ‘travels’ from bossa-jazz to chilly-lounge, from nu-disco to deep-house with electronic flavours!During the last 5 years he has focused on the development of Irma Dancefloor which is the label absolutely devoted to club music unlike Irma Records which continues to work for Nu-Jazz, Downtempo, Jazz, Hip-Hop, Lounge and Chillout sounds.
