"skeler"

Few other artists’ mix series have been as successful as Night Drive. The release of Night Drive represents one of the most awaited moments by the entire wave community. This is no surprise, however, as each episode contains hours of strictly unreleased material (which often takes years to be released) and the cinematic quality and evocative soundscapes skeler establishes are absolutely…

I think I can’t think of a more skeler thing to do than releasing, without any clamor, a track the fandom has been waiting for almost three long years. Apart from a recent exception to announce he’s playing Rezz Rocks on the 31st of August, the Aussie producer continues to fly low, limiting to the very minimum, any kind of…

I’ve lost count of how many tweets I’ve read in these days asking over and over, “Name a producer who is killing it atm.” If I could build a bot to answer them all, the name I’d chose would be the one and only: skeler. Already a legend in the Wave and Hardwave ever growing niche, renown icon in the…

A couple of days ago I was hanging in a chat where msft. at some point started to praise this incredible producer he just discovered: skeler. Honestly I couldn’t belive my eyes. Not because compared to me my good Italian fellow is years late, but because I was incredibly happy to see skeler’s name finally making its way through the…

Folks, bend the knee to the uplifting wave messiah! I don’t usually give away titles and epithets so easily, but anyway, here and now, it just feels right to crown skeler. Song after song, in the last couple of years he has provided us umpteenth inestimable gems, and this May’s double bill is just the ice on the cake. Let’s start…

This month I need to begin by thanking my good friend Ambur. 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. She promptly came to my aid and helped me sort this article out. Let’s start in the US, where Sidewalks &…

August was of course synonymous with ‘Night Drive’ for the wave scene. skeler’s new 156 minute opus already sits on more than one million views on YouTube and for the joy of legions of fans and listeners, it has provided us with a new overdose of unreleased remixes (42) and originals (18), cooked strictly by the Australian producer. In case…

Let’s begin this new issue of Wave Monthly by addressing the elephant in the room. Nightdrive IV exists, and it has not only been teased but it has also been premiered live a few days ago in conjunction with Skeler’s first-ever LA headline show, powered by Brownies&Lemonade. Aside from a few leaks, the internet has been peculiarly stingy with videos…

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…
