Trying to catch up with everything that happened online after a two-weeks vacation where I unplugged myself from social media was a surprisingly laborious and tricky task.

March set a very high bar for the rest of the year. Not only was it another bonkers month in terms of new releases, but plenty of other juicy stuff happened in the last thirty days. To begin with, I must mention the arrival of the notorious ‘Look Forward at 2024‘ mixtape. Curated and mixed by Brett from vibe.digital, this…

It would take an entire book to exhaustively report what 2023 has been for the wave scene and perhaps there will be time for that in the future.
