Debuting on Skrillex’s label OWSLA in 2015, WAVEDASH has since developed their own style of electronic dance music. Receiving industry-wide praise from artists like Skrillex, Porter Robinson, Madeon, and many more; in 2021, their 12-track debut album, World Famous Tour, left a bold and positive mark on the dance music community. Now liberated from label stipulations and creative control, the trio look onwards to seek artistic fulfillment in the next chapter of their careers. The release of “Chicago Loop”, a track that was initially introduced 3 years ago, thus, carries great meaning to both the artists and their fans, as the trio collabs with their long friend, and rising artist James Ivy.
James Ivy, a 23-year-old Korean-American singer/songwriter/producer from New Jersey, since his debut in 2020, with “Staring Contest”, has been developing his artistic presence in the PC music scene. Receiving praise from the likes of MTV, Flood Magazine, NYLON, and continued releases of singles, and in 2021, his debut EP, Good Grief, James Ivy has impressed both media and the fans. Crossing between genres and facing new frontiers in his career, his addition to “Chicago Loop” is something that once again proves his indefinite musical capabilities.
“Jimmy (James Ivy) has been one of our best friends for over 8 years now. During that time we’ve grown up together and came into our own as artists. We help each other out with everything, whether it be Jimmy lending his voice to us or Me, Michael, and Gavin lending Jimmy our production skills. When we made“Chicago Loop,” we thought it was just another one of the hundreds of songs that would never see the light of day, but thanks to the overwhelming response from fans we are unbelievably excited to share it with you guys.” — WAVEDASH
“Chicago Loop” was a song born from an ironing board acting as a makeshift desk and a Bluetooth speaker in a hotel room in Chicago. Me and the boys had flown out to Chicago for Lollapalooza and it ended up being the biggest let-down of a weekend ever. Me and the boys started a song purely off of the desire to make sure the weekend was not a complete waste. The lyrics, that were mostly freestyled on the spot, ended up being an ode to this feeling we had this weekend, of being at a shitty party and being like “let’s get outta here”.” — James Ivy
An upbeat indie/electronic track, WAVEDASH immerse listeners in a dreamy electronic instrumental. The production heavily lies on funky drums, synths, and futuristic effects that add to the colorful display of WAVEDASH’s adventurous sound. James Ivy further decorates the track with layered vocals as his catchy melodies gracefully merge with the lively instrumental. WAVEDASH and James Ivy stand to face a new chapter in their exciting career. As WAVEDASH moves on to the post-album era as they now create music truly without limits, this collaboration with James Ivy is something that fulfills both the sonic endeavors of the artists and the expectations of their fans.

Kuma Pop has an incredible talent for combining the traditional rhythms, harmonies, and melodies of Flamenco with electronic elements. The resulting fusion on “Amanecer” is a truly original interpretation that is guaranteed to ignite your passion for dance.
Furthermore, the beats are so irresistible that it’s certain you won’t be able to resist moving your feet to the music.
What provides a counterbalance to the synthesizers and drum machines is the use of samples obtained from an old Andalucian vinyl record. In particular, the highlight of this eclectic mix is undoubtedly the intensely passionate Spanish vocals.
The raw, emotional delivery will transport you to another world and leave you breathless. Without question, the music video accompanying this excellent single can produce the same effect if you watch it.
Believe me when I say that the entire composition has completely captivated me, making it Kuma Pop’s best work to date. Interestingly enough, his previous release, “Por Dentro,” also features sound textures that are very similar and just as impressive.
Kuma Pop is a Spanish producer, teacher, and father who is professionally based between two countries – Spain and the USA.
Above all, he continues to demonstrate his extraordinary vision for the Flamenco fusion which defies boundaries, inviting listeners to lose themselves in the hypnotic groove.
