DON'T BREAK MY HEART BABY- Parris Goebel

"DON'T BREAK MY HEART BABY" is a joyride that drops listeners right into the push‑pull between swagger and softness. Over a rhythmic, nightlife-inspired Jersey‑club beat, Parris plays up the tension between owning the chaos of the club and guarding her heart as a self‑proclaimed "lover girl."

Dorephin Shopping Center - Azikazin Magic World

This jungle track is a playful endorphin rush, perfectly reflected in its title, “Dorephin Shopping Center.” The jittery arpeggios and crisp, quick-cut textures mimic the sensory overload of a brightly-lit mall. Its upbeat momentum feels almost cinematic, like a fast‑paced montage of joy.

Beat Bunny - Povoa, Madge

Povoa and Madge teamed up to craft a high‑energy dance track. With “Beat Bunny,” they showcase their signature blend of experimental club intensity and rhythm‑driven electronic sound design.

Hoes Link Up - Zora Jones, DJ Polo

The intro hints at a strong Imogen Heap influence before it’s quickly swept aside by a bouncy, syncopated drum pattern. The hybrid hybrid electronic palette of "Hoes Link Up" blends UKG, breaks, and bass for a rhythmic, bass-driven banger. On the dancefloor, it conjures high‑energy movement and full-on bass‑faces.

CICONADA - RHR, Logan_olm

“CICLONADA” is an electronic track by Brazilian producer RHR featuring vocalist Logan_olm. The title itself references a cyclone, and the music mirrors that motion. Across its 5 minute runtime, loops tighten, textures build, and the beat spirals with growing intensity. The result is a haunting, textural, and distinct listening experience.

The Curator's Crates on Data Transmission

Listen

.WAV Gallery is taking its underground music coverage from the page to the airwaves with the launch of The Curator’s Crates on Data Transmission. The show marks a new chapter for the platform’s sonic exploration.

Each monthly installment features a mix from a guest DJ or resident curator, pairing their personal listening tastes with their signature club sound to create a direct line to the voices and sounds defining what’s next for NYC nightlife.

The inaugural episode was helmed by Curator OGD, who guides listeners through a genre-spanning journey across the electronic spectrum, blending Jersey Club bounce, hyperpop remixes, underground UKG, reggaetón‑club hybrids, and atmospheric breaks.

On March 15th, .WAV Gallery Co-creator OddwOrld took the reins.

Brooklyn born DJ/Producer OddwOrld is a production-minded DJ with an adventurous USB that has a sound for every dance floor. 

His 13 plus years of EDM and trap production experience help him navigate everything from the breaks of Jungle and UKG to the heavy low-end of techno and baile funk. Over the years, OddwOrld has expanded his footprint through a series of well-received collaborations and releases, including the recent "Silent (OddwOrld Remix)" with BK Loves Recs and "Drop That Shi" with the global label Ethereal Tempo Sounds, both of which showcase his versatility across tempos and genres. Both his edits and originals have become staples among DJs in underground scenes, praised for their inventive drum work, bass-forward design, and dance floor precision.

This, alongside his years of DJ experience, has allowed him to play across genres and communities in NYC. From gritty underground no-phone sanctuaries in Bushwick to long standing Manhattan institutions, OddwOrld brings an unmatched energy to every space he steps foot in.

OddwOrld’s installment of The Curator’s Crates feels like rifling through a USB loaded with stamps from every corner of the club world. It is an authentic journey across his USB, going "around the world" by weaving together a wide range of genres and tempos. By pulling from Brazilian baile, UK bass culture, US regional club scenes, and Afro‑diasporic rhythmic roots, OddwOrld creates a well-rounded snapshot of modern club music. Throughout the 2-hour mix, he demonstrates how seamlessly those elements can be woven together by the right hands.

White Label Records

Test Pressings/ Plug Copies

This section is inspired by the history of white label vinyl records used as promotional copies by DJs. Record labels would often send DJs advance copies of releases to test out on crowds. In some cases, the records would even be mixed differently to sound better on club speakers. 

The hope is to spotlight new and exciting sounds that you are able to download and take with you - either for casual listening or to share in club settings.

Deep Bongo - SLEEPYLYCHEE

Active across New York, Los Angeles, and Asia's underground electronic scenes, SLEEPYLYCHEE has played at some of the most forward-thinking venues and had collaborated with artists who continually push the boundaries of sound. Her prolific catalog includes over 50 tracks that have amassed 20 million total plays.

Guided by a strong artistic vision, she draws audiences into her unique musical world. This sensibility extends to her DJs sets where she emphasizes the depth and fluidity of music, breaking traditional music boundaries and ushering the audience into unknown territories. Intense electronic pulses, ever-changing textures, and unique soundscapes form the connective tissue of her work, shaping a marvelous and profound musical experience.

Her recent release, "Deep Bongo,” is a percussive, fog‑soaked club tool built for DJs who want instant usability and a hypnotic, warehouse‑ready groove. The track moves with a clear, functional structure and intentional precision. As SLEEPYLYCHEE explains, “I write it as a club tool… the purpose of the structure is for anyone who DJs to understand the waveform and incorporate it into their mixing immediately.”

At the center of the track is the unmistakable pulse of bongos. Drawing from her love of world music, especially Afro‑Cuban traditions, the bongos become the signature element that ties the entire track together. Layered with modular synths, they push the energy toward a dark, deep, and mysterious dance‑floor atmosphere. Throughout the arrangement, auto‑filter automation tightens and releases pressure, creating that slow‑burn tension essential for late‑night sets. Even the snare evolves, moving from a straightforward 4/4 hit into a reggaeton‑influenced pattern, giving the groove a subtle rhythmic twist.

The result is a track that feels like stepping into a dim warehouse filled with haze and bodies in motion. As SLEEPYLYCHEE puts it, “The vibe I’m going for is deep and mysterious… when I was writing this, I could definitely see fog and a dancing crowd.”
