Wave Racer Announces Long-Awaited Debut Album: Listen to the Lead Single
The debut album from electronic music virtuoso Wave Racer has been a long time coming. Considered one of the most groundbreaking future bass producers in the scene, the Australian beatsmith broke through in the mid-2010s with a bubbly, quirky sound all his own.
