Wave Music was started in 1995 by its owner François K. as a means to release cutting-edge but timeless music that doesn't necessarily fit the norm of what most people come to expect of a New York 'dance' indie label. Through its association with some of dance music's finest artists, producers and DJ's, Wave has in the span of a decade achieved a reputation for excellence and innovation in this crowded field. Its sister labels, WaveTec, Deep Space Media, clicktracks have a slightly more defined orientation.
