NightWaves hit us up with some slick material after my Fabian post a while back, and now I’m getting around to sharing the love with you all (And there was much rejoicing!)
Well, first some background. NightWaves hails from LA and aim to bring back more lush, synthed out dance out melodies (and less RAWR RAWR DANCE GRGGLR Bangers –or whatever it is that Shaun calls them). Self described as :
a walk down the beach at sunset with the Pacific ocean crashing right next to you
they definitely have a discod-out, almost-french-house-jam style going on –good tracks for evenings and afternoons alike
“Even Money” is one of those tracks that treats you to an unexpected wanna get up and dance feeling after about 3/4’s of the build up. Now for those of you with no patience, I guess that sucks, but for everyone else its the making of a good track to use in a set!
“Blue Dress” is just as funky, in the same vein and just as much fun.
Since these style tracks work best in mix form (maybe you remember my May mix? Or that I even mix? Because I forget that sometimes) here’s quality 50 min mix of Binary and Valerie artists abound!
NightWaves Presents: The Dreamwave Hour
Also, since this post is very nicely timed, The Binary Collective is putting on their first event tonight (October 6th) at the Dragonfly in Hollywood, CA. Admission is FREE, so all you west coast kids go party it up. You can check the full flyer for the event here, or you can find out more info via the Binary Blog
