We are thrilled to announce the release of our first VA compilation, "Deep Waves - Vol. I" scheduled for October of this year, and we want to celebrate by opening the doors of our house and inviting all those artists who wish to be part of our family of misunderstood talents.
To achieve this, we are hosting a submission contest where we will select three new artists to be part of this beautiful release. We already have confirmed participation from artists such as Moli, Cristian Hidalgo and other exciting surprises that we will announce very soon.
"Deep Waves - Vol. I" will be a selection aimed at capturing the B-side of electronic music artists, showcasing works with captivating melodies and harmonies within genres like progressive house, organic house, deep house, and melodic techno. For reference, we have created a Spotify playlist featuring our favorite artists within the mentioned mood (You Woulndn't Understand)
