Artist Spotlight With mykel online
“thread” by mykel online releases August 29th at 11:00 pm EST.
“After countless hours in the studio, I'm stoked to announce that I'm creating my debut album. I've already dropped the first two-track single from this project, titled ‘giving out / thread,’ and will be releasing all singles from the album on Sound, while granting special access, royalty splits, & pre-listening privileges to collectors who snag both 'giving out' and 'thread'. My mission here on Sound is about crafting an album that's not just music, but an experience.”

“Introducing wavCURATE by the wavWRLD squad. A new experiment in music curation.
Week 1 Theme for the wavCURATE 001 Playlist is Spaghetti Hot Tub 🍝🛁
Songs you listen to when you've had a really long day, and all you want to do is eat a bowl of spaghetti in a hot tub.”
