Next Wave - Cassette Magazine - Volume 47

£8.99

Discover your next favourite artist, before everyone else.

Next Wave Cassette Magazine is a monthly deep-dive into the future of music, a curated selection of emerging artists, captured on limited-edition cassette and paired with a printed zine that brings their stories to life.

Each volume features 12 carefully selected artists from across the globe. No algorithms. No recycled hits. Just real music, discovered and documented in its earliest form. Spanning indie, alternative, jazz, electronic, soul and everything in between.

Inside the box:
— A limited edition cassette featuring the full Next Wave compilation
— A printed magazine introducing each artist, their sound, and their story
— A physical snapshot of where music is heading right now

This isn’t about nostalgia, it’s about connection. Slowing things down. Owning something tangible. Supporting artists at the start of their journey.

Every volume is produced in small batches and once it’s gone, it’s gone.
