- This week feels promising 🌻
- I remember falling asleep with the tv on & waking up to the r&b commercial playing & the deep voice saying “Call (800) 555-3230 to order the tape”
This ain’t a tape, but it’s r&b baby. The countdown to 2/15 begins.

- I need good alternatives for coffee. I'm taking a two week break from Starbucks but I definitely still need a little help energy wise! Any good reccs?

- **wavWRLD's Weekly Wavs 🌊🌐🎶 Issue #21 | Art Basel Recap**
We're so excited to start bringing our wavLETTERs to @lensprotocol 🌿 Comment your previous & upcoming Lens music drops below to be featured in the next one!
gm gm you wavy creatures!! Wooooowee, it’s time to let out a deep breath because we, collectively, have made it through Art Basel & through 2022, almost. If you weren’t there in person—no fear, the FOMO is over, and there is always more party to come. If you were there … Well, you already know 😉
Rather than go event by event, we wanted to highlight some of the broader trends we saw in Miami. Look for these to translate to our URL community in the short term but especially have an impact as we ramp up to the next IRL meetup—whenever & wherever it may be.
***Community-Led Events***
The highlight of Art Basel was the incredibly curated events thrown by web3 music communities: UVR, @campfirexyz.lens, Future Surf, and yes, @wavwrld.lens 🌊 each held events that only they and their core contributors could have dreamed up. It showed the diversity but also the cohesion of the vision of this subculture.
Everyone set out to do their own version of the same thing, and in our own ways, we each accomplished it. Most importantly, everyone played their part in bringing people together and sharing the love. Other important mentions: ZORATOPIA, Lens fam, SUPERF3ST, @refraction.lens.
***Unmatched Performances***
The list is too long to mention everyone. @fredriko.lens, @karmavioletta.lens, Lackhoney, and FUTRxLGND (Rocky Snyda & JayProb) brought the energy & vibes at @wavwrld.lens. The (continued) rise of @xandforshort.lens, with multiple performances. @jadynviolet.lens, as well as Shxdw & GRL, went off with a live band at the UVR. @latasha.lens, @imaneurope.lens, @mynameisheno.lens, @charmtaylor.lens, @ibninglor.lens, Jamee Cornelia, @jazii.lens, @cammurdoch.lens & others crushed it at Zoratopia. @tkthelegend.lens, @karmawav.lens, @tarotsings.lens, @violetta.lens, @vibing.lens, @p3t3rango.lens, and @blackdave.lens (among others) laid it down in the @campfirexyz.lens studio sessions. It was a week defined by its superstars, and if you want to know where this space is headed—look no further.
***Feeling the Bear Market***
There was a broader story at play here. Outside of music, web3 events sometimes struggled to draw the same amount of attention and energy. Events with big-name sponsors and web2 recognition sometimes struggled to fill their venues, leaving attendees wondering where the party was. Spoiler: It’s with the musicians.
***A Little Too Decentralized?***
Despite our best attempts, we still haven’t figured out how to bring everyone together sustainably. Art Basel saw the first true overlap of web3 music communities: Everyone pulled up to support each others’ parties, and connections were made across the space that were unimaginable six months ago. Yet, we still have not locked down the logistics and coordination. Events were held all over Miami, and sometimes with overlapping times, which made it difficult to give everything the attention it deserved. It’s a learning curve—and with communities coming together like never before, we’ll get there!
Overall, it was an extremely successful week for our Music NFT subculture. With limited resources, we threw parties with world-class performances and immaculate vibes. So once again, take a deep breath, give yourself a pat on the back, and relish that you are helping build one of the coolest communities on the planet.
**wavNEWS 📰**
Web3 poster child @tkthelegend.lens has capped off an incredible 2022 with the largest-ever sellout on the Sound Protocol and just trailing Snoop Dogg as the largest drop on Sound as far as primary sales. Eternal Garden features 700 editions, 7 songs, and over 40 ETH raised as one of the biggest and most impactful music NFT releases of the year, even garnering a write-up on Billboard. Look for @tkthelegend.lens to carry this momentum into 2023 as he and other top-class web3 artists who have launched bigger collections—Daniel Allan, @reocragun.lens, @dominosmusic.lens, Violetta Zironi, @raeisla.lens, Sammy Arriaga—prepare to launch us into the stratosphere.
Meanwhile, the premier video NFT platform @glassprotocol.lens has recently shipped updates to make the uploading process easier. Flexible mint options, including prices and edition counts, and most importantly, *recommendations based on market conditions* will help artists better customize drops for their fans. Additionally, Glass now supports buying NFTs with credit cards, Ethereum, and apple pay with the help of their friends at Crossmint. It’s great to see an org so dominant in the space working to stay ahead of the curve.
