Liquid Ritual

Often snubbed for their lack of economic results, compilations remain the cultural medium par excellence. While albums are the best way for artists to build and give voice to their identity, compilations are the counterpart for genres, scenes, and movements. The wave scene has been no exception. Since the publication of wavemob and Terrorrhytm’s compilations, which literally acted as the…

As predicted, 2022 is proceeding at full speed for the wave scene. Anyway, I think that in the last few months you have noticed too that one of the protagonists was missing. I’m talking about Liquid Ritual. Since Kenaj‘s release five months ago they went pretty much under the radar. A bunch of mixes, a couple of sample packs, but…

2021 was a very pivotal year for Liquid Ritual. With the huge peak in popularity of wave to ride, a pandemic to deal with and a leading role to be reconfirmed, for the team there were many fronts to work on, as were the variables to be taken into account and what was at stake. With two months still to…

What a week has been for Wave! So far we got new music from Noah B, Remnant.exe, ÆSTRAL, Sorsari, skeler. and now, as the icing on the cake, a new song by Heimanu.

I’m…

The appearance of a hardwave playlist on Trap Nation, featuring some community favourites the like of Juche and skeler., has been a clear signal that have is more and more penetrating the scene. However, besides this occasional mainstream outburst, wave’s prevalence around the world has been steadily on the rise as the strong local scenes continue to evolve and create…

Is this a déjà vu? Hasn’t all this happened already? Well, kinda of. It was 375 days ago, and we were premiering ‘Hollow’ off of Liquid Ritual: Vol 1. Time flies fellows, and today we’re here again for the second chapter of the story. Vol 2 is coming out at the end of the month, and we’re proud to be…

It’s been a while since my latest Wave post, but apparently things have gone at full speed for the scene. Just to name a few examples, in the past months we’ve seen the don RL Grime performing Wave at EDC plus other highly regarded acts like Porter Robinson and Hardwell actively supporting the genre. On the top of this buzz,…
