The Hybrid Format

A Seamless Blend of DJ and Live Band

The Collective is built around a simple idea: never let the energy drop. A DJ set bridges seamlessly into a full live band moment, so the transition from cocktail hour playlist to a horn-driven live mashup feels like one continuous show instead of two separate acts. Drums, guitar, violin, a three-piece horn section, and a lead vocalist trade off with the DJ throughout the night, keeping the sound layered and the dance floor moving.

Like every Lost Wax lineup, The Collective draws from six decades of Pop, Rock, Hip-Hop, and R&B, reworked into live mashups rather than straight covers. Based in Kansas City and touring nationally, Lost Wax brings the same credentials to this hybrid format as its other lineups — including the 2023 NFL Draft House Band selection, 2025 Wed KC Band of the Year, and 2025 Best of KC Wedding Band.
