Wave Point unveils “In The Moment” as next single off forthcoming debut album Higher Dimension
Higher Dimension due August 13 on Wave Point’s own label Even Smoother
Formerly producing as half of Golf Clap, Detroit-based DJ and producer Bryan Jones further steps into his new production moniker as Wave Point with the release of his next single “In The Moment.” The single is one of several releases ahead of Jones’ forthcoming debut album Higher Dimension, which will drop in August via his own label Even Smoother.
The quiet of quarantine spurred the launch of his solo Wave Point project, where Jones is the mastermind behind this new sound serving up slick, soulful grooves. Like most of Higher Dimension, the single “In The Moment” is a product of a virtual collaboration with musicians from around the world that contributed to the track’s funky bass guitar, live drums, and original vocals.
Being stuck in quarantine meant Wave Point had to get creative with securing session players for the album. He went online and hired bass players, string quartets and a myriad of other musicians from around the world who he had never even met, making Higher Dimension a showcase of an artist in total control.
Higher Dimension mixes classic house nostalgia with futuristic techniques and lofi feeling. Its disco-laced tunes shine bright with organic sounds and that comforting human touch, and the debut album plays funky with instrumental fills and warm textural layers.
Through the Golf Clap project and its Country Club Disco label and radio shows, Wave Point won the hearts of fans at Lollapalooza, Movement, Electric Forest and more. Wave Point has already released a few album singles “Feeling” and “Shadows” that have been supported by This Song Is Sick, Data Transmission and Music Is 4 Lovers, as well as garnered support from dance music aces like Lee Foss, Pat Lok, Craze, Huxley, CID, Maximono, Steve Darko, Westend, Codes, and Mikey Lion.

ABOUT WAVE POINT
Expert skills, decades of experience and a fresh perspective. It’s a rare combination of qualities in any business, but it’s exactly what Chicago-raised and Detroit-based producer and DJ Wave Point brings to the table.
A drummer since the age of 8, he traded in his kit for turntables as soon as he went to his first rave. Traveling from his native Indiana to Chicago regularly to get the latest house record fix, Jones dedicated his life to pulsing club rhythms and intoxicating grooves.
Jones is more in his element than ever before, armed with the know-how of so many years in the game as well as the confidence to follow his time-tested instincts. After a Groundhog Day year in the studio, Wave Point is ready to crash dance floors across the country. He’s long mastered the art of crowd reading, moving from hard house beats to driving techno and feel-good funk with ease. Mean, clean and versatile, Wave Point is booked to bring his limitless style back to this year’s Movement event and clubs across America this summer.
