Depending on your relationship with music, you might recall the times of browsing a record store, when you heard a fantastic new single and could not wait to play it on your own turntable. On repeat! Now this all has changed of course, but as a music blogger I often receive new music ahead of its release date and having listened to “Waves & Blades” in advance last week, I could barely wait to feature this exquisite piece of electronic music.
