SommerklÀnge on RCRDSHP
Discord community members likely recognize this name! Our friend SommerklÀnge has released an Artist card which quickly sold out into the Instagiouz Records Genesis set (a record label started by SommerklÀnge).
SommerklÀnge has been inspired by the world of Web3 for his Hardwave music. He plans to release extended versions of his tracks (old and new) exclusively on RCRDSHP. Sommer has already started with the release of the Debut card: Back Catalog, which can be minted now for 2 coins. This card features 40 minutes of extended NFT versions of his back catalog on Instagiouz Records, and only 50 debut cards will ever be minted.
Join me in keeping an eye on Sommer by following his Artist Page.
Do you also recognize his name from Tribal Trap fame?
