    The Swedish synthfunk extraordinaire Damokles is out now with this latest EP – “Hyperwave!”

    Damokles is known for his extremely authentic style – having been creating synth music since back in the 80’s. This EP takes an interesting spin on that uniquely authentic Damokles sound, showcasing his groovy range.

    “Hyperwave” swings from heavy backing beats injected with high-octane sci-fi synth with ‘Many Lightyears Away’ to the romantic and lachrymose ‘Empty Streets’ tracks with ease – all the while still retaining that beautifully crafted funk.

    "Exploring a wide variety of different synth sounds is something Damokles has been doing since the 1980s and Hyperwave is a continuation of that creative journey. This is an album that definitely has a strong ‘80s flavour but also avoids cliché by moving the music in a different direction with unique sounds and his own musical language that moves the album in a different direction from typical retrowave fare."

Hyperwave When I am exploring sound and feeling it all around Sometimes it gets real intense I start to feeling the gravity of the Hyperwave I cannot explain the feel but know it is very real It's like I am pulled inside and being a part of an entity in the Hyperwave === In a place without time must continue to climb when I just've got to play And I can't hide away When the Zone opens up and I simply can't stop I'm a musical slave And I go Hyperwave === A transcendent state of mind Just leaving it all behind The feeling is so immense I guess you can call it insanity That is the Hyperwave ___ RAP Making music is a way of life And if you don't it is a gutting knife But when it starts to move and you feel the groove You get drawn into the force of your creation. It's a feeling that is better than sex When you're locked in and everything checks Every move you make and every path you take Brings you closer to the climax of consummation

Dreams Visions Science Inventions Keep evolving Problem-solving Faster Better We will get there Many light years away There is a place For us to make a new start Way out there in space Many light years away Orbiting a star A blue and wondrous sphere But it is so far far very far away Enlightenment Determination Keep evolving Problem-solving Faster Better We will get there Many light years away There is a place For us to make a new start Way out there in space Many light years away Orbiting a star A blue and wondrous sphere But it's so far WAR FAMINE DISASTERS DISEASE Reaching for the stars is our DNA In conflict with desires that lead us astray We must come together and face what we fear 'cause it will be a long time before we are there way out there somewhere

Late, one summer evening, when I was sitting all alone it must have been fate, cause I was leaving just picking up my telephone. Numb, without a feeling, I thought I was beyond repair Emotionless state, no chance of healing When I was rising from that chair. Now that you're gone! I still have your memory And I can feel you're still around! With all that gold, right here in my treasury I will go on, when I should have drowned. Love, and light had risen, I could see colors everywhere So far and above, my darkest prison. I just sat back into that chair! You had brought me back to life Night just turned to day With you here, there was no sign of strife! You carried me away! When you came.. right into my own backyard. You just stepped up onto my stage. Without a name, but you made me fall so hard And so my life just turned a brand new page! Now that you're gone... … 'cause I can feel that you're still around

about

Yet again I was dragged into that fantastic wormhole of frenetic creation energy. The title track - Hyperwave - is about precisely that.

Moments Inbetween actually started off with the idea of making a High Energy style track. It took its own direction soon into the project however and became some kind of symphonic fusion of sorts.

Many Light Years Away is the SF nerd in me talking but with a realization that we will not get there unless we work together.

Over the Ridge taps into my hopes that we will see the end of this dark tunnel soon.

On You're Still Around I revisit the memories of someone who really touched my soul but was ripped away from this life too soon.

The final track - Empty Streets - encapsulates my feelings of seeing totally empty streets in an otherwise busy city.

I find myself torn between wanting to make instrumental tracks and not thinking they are complete without vocals. For those of you who prefer instrumental tracks, I have made three bonus tracks that come with the EP when you buy it. Just rename the files from ".mpg" to ".mp3" and you are good to go :-)
