Australia has always been a little bit different in terms of the producers and the music that come out of there. They always bring new sounds to the table and keep the rest of us on our toes. Wave Racer is no exception. His take on trap music is something I have never heard before. He implements a lot of colorful, high pitch synths with heavy effects on them to make them sound like an old arcade game that just smoked crack for the first time. I love how crazy yet refined each song is. I can't stop listening to it! Now it's your turn..
Here is his most recent track called Streamers. I love the choppy synths in the chorus and the various vocal samples he toys around with. Check it out below!
To touch on some of his older material, here is one of the first two tracks he uploaded to his SoundCloud page. Stoopid definitely brings that old school video game vibe that I think is so fun. There aren't many artists who can channel this sound well enough to make it seem legit while still tapping into your video game nostalgia. Props to him on nailing this track!
Lastly, I need to show off one of his awesome remixes. I posted his Flight Facilities remix on their Coachella Spotlight post last week, so that one is off the table. That leaves the other two that I love, but I can't pick a favorite so here are both of them! First is his remix of Panama's track Always that Classixx also has an excellent remix of if you remember their Coachella Spotlight post. I love Wave Racers remix just as much as the original and the Classixx version. It has brings so much life to the track that isn't there in the other mixes.
The other remix is his version of DCUP's Don't Be Shy. I love everything about this song. The anti-climactic builds, the high pitch vocal samples sprinkled throughout and the massive drops. I don't even care what the original sounds like, because this remix is so sick. Check it out
Follow him on Facebook too! Can't wait until the first time I can see him live.
Enjoy! <3
