Wave Magnetik’s music is a seamless blend of Electronic Dance Music (EDM) and Jazz. To put it simply, it is Skrillex and Zedd meets Miles Davis. With this new sound, they are pushing the envelope in the music world. The union of this electronic duo is greatly defining the sound of electronic music.
