Artist Spotlight: Shark4Sale

If you’re looking for a new artist to check out, then you’ve come to the right place: in this edition of 'Artist Spotlight', MendoWerks Magazine sat down with Swiss wave artist, Shark4Sale. You may recognize Shark4Sale from his releases with Liquid Ritual, Tribal Trap, and Wave City - or perhaps, through his participation in a few years’ worth of wave wardubs on SoundCloud. If you’re unfamiliar with Shark4Sale, then get yourself ready for some music that is perfect for feelsy, crying-in-the-club moments. In other words, one of the most intriguing things about his music is that no matter how much drama Shark4Sale manages to pack into a given song, there’s still this lovely, soothing undercurrent that’s present through much of his work.

Artist Spotlight: AYDO8

It’s just banger after banger after banger. One thing that’s most notable is that AYDO8 truly knows how to maximize the dramatic impact of his vocal samples, like in “To The Edge.” Most recently, he released “Buried (waiting for you)” on Alter/Ego. which also displays this expert use of samples. Another personal favorite is his 2022 DEKTORA release, “Lets Go“. As a die-hard N...

Artist Spotlight: LYFFE

If you're looking for a new artist to check out, then you've come to the right place: in this first edition of MendoWerks Magazine's 'Artist Spotlight' column, we are highlighting LYFFE, an up-and-comer in Chicago's underground electronic music scene. Something we really appreciate about LYFFE is that he creates music that actually gets people dancing--even if, like me, they aren't the sort of folks who often dance. Throughout his discography, you will find nothing but high energy tunes that are going to inspire movement in one way or another. At the same time, despite the energy, some of his tracks retain that particular kind of moodiness generally found in the slower, softer OG wave music that's best saved for a deep listening session rather than the dance floor. As LYFFE has rel...
