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. For the sake of brevity, today it’s sufficient to remember that there have never been so many (and such big) wave events in a single year, the scene’s top artists have performed…

In 2023 there’s certainly no shortage of wave music, but the release we’re premiering today is a real happening. Not only because Evolve represents iSorin‘s first solo EP since 2019, but also because it sees him collaborating again with the infallible vibe.digital team. In short, we’re before an all-star lineup assembled for a project that promises (and delivers) a memorable…

Making a star-striking appearance on Ophelia Records’ brand new compilation, Bafu and Altare join forces once again for a new single, ‘LOOK4U.’ Making their mark once again with pure might and elegance. Swirling through your hearts with their vast and powerful techniques through production and vision. And creating senses of adoration and peace from angelic melodies, vast arrangement, and pure…

On FUXWITHIT’s pages, I celebrate him mainly for his work as A&R of vibe.digital, but I would not want you to forget that M!NGO also knows how to steal the show with his own creations. This time, the wave maestro has decided to remind us with a brand new double release titled ‘La Morte’ and ‘Botnet’. These two are not…
