In 2017, Sydney, Australia’s Wave Racer did what few globally touring acts dare to do at the height of their success: step back from touring in the name of well-being. Now, having spent time to recharge, both personally and artistically, the future-bass producer succeeds his first two singles in years by opening up to fans in a Reddit AMA.

Donned as an OG titan of the genre, Wave Racer shares insight into his creative songwriting process, his handling of a track/project that just won’t unfold, and a bit of technical geek-ery for producer folk. Last, and arguably most noteworthy are Wave Racer’s takes on shifting to productions with more pop-style vocals and his growing intrigue to tour with a live band.

Find Dancing Astronaut’s five takeaways below:

1. He rarely gives up on projects, but also isn’t hesitant to shelve an idea.

2. He may be named after an obscure N64 oldie, but his musical inspirations bleed from other gaming classics, too.

3. While his sound has varied over the years, he’s happy with the natural growth of the project.

4. The man knows his way around an arpeggiator.

5. He’s got a slew of new ideas to bring to the stage.
