At first, I had decided to start this article with the classic formula “LYNY is back,” but as soon as I stopped to think about it, I realized that in the first three months of 2021 he’s actually never taken a break. His remix for L*O*J debuted out less than two weeks ago. His contribution to the BOOST TAPE 02…

38 Volumes deep and we’re just getting started. Focus Five is back with a wide array of talents you need to get familiar with. We’ve got a mysterious new experimental artist, a wild bass duo from British Columbia, a French producer keeping things crazy unique, the next wave of UKG, and a Chicagoan fusing future beats and trap just the…

Have you ever find yourself thinking that sometimes neither a good pair of headphones, nor a very good sound system are quite enough to wholly relish certain tracks?

Here we are! After the first part dedicated to the exploration of the roots and origins of wave, we’re about to continue our journey with our eyes stuck to the present and, above all, to the bright future of this genre and its culture.

It’s officially another quarantine Sunday morning, however this time I’m going to kicking off my weekend in a slightly different way. Brioches and cappuccino obviously cannot be missed on my table, but today there’s more on the menù. Something hot, tasty, highly energy-giving. I’m talking of nothing less than the latest REAPER effort, a true bomb under the form of…
