Former artillery soldier SamWaise explosively carves out a fresh new lane in modern EDM and production. His evocative and intoxicating fusion of metal and fiercely fast-paced dance makes for an impassioned and powerful introduction to the album Tragedies and Truths.
Nowhere But You is the single. The voice is bold, raspy and intense, and the music meanders from seemingly delicate to immensely energised and impossible to ignore.
It’s a fascinating new take, a euphoric listen for both its passion and the sheer power and pace of the beat, and the use of contrast between moments is huge – a level of juxtaposition that allows the drop into chaos to work its magic with absolute precision and depth.
Unexpectedly gripping, a song of love and connection elevated by a gritty and unmistakable approach to production – something like old-school hard-house with a twist of near-gabba-like urgency; and an edge of power metal and even pop all woven into the final mix.
A huge single, from a project that’s as revealing as it is playful and intense. SamWaise’ music aptly drops like a bomb, and by his own admission, seeks to both engage with listeners and represent the thunderous sounds and experiences of army life in the field. A devotedly impactful new take on electronic music creation.
