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.  After spending some time with his discogra...

Artist Spotlight: AYDO8

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 California-based multi-genre electronic music producer AYDO8. After spending some time with his discography, I can honestly say that AYDO8 jumped very quickly into my “Top 5 Wave Artists That I Need To See Live ASAP”–especially for an all-original set. 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...
