I don’t know about you, but here at Shockwave-Sound.com we got pretty excited about the “Kung Fury” independent film release at YouTube: I guess we were just the “right generation” to enjoy this over-the-top, cheesy and cool, 1980’s action films parody. If you grew up watching Bruce Lee, David Hasselhoff as The Knight Rider, Eddie […]
Production music tracks that sound like the Harlem Shake
The internet was recently hit by a craze known as the Harlem Shake – we all know it. A somewhat cheesy rap / hip-hop / electro beat with retro Roland 808 drum machine sound, building up to a massive “drop”, with a suitably crazed dance group. The actual track “Harlem Shake” is obviously under copyright, […]

Plenty of “Edge” in two new CD-collections released today!
We don’t normally post a Blog each time we release a new album of music, because we do that all the time and this whole Blog would turn into nothing but a constant stream of new album releases. But today we’ve released two new albums and we feel that they deserve a special mention. The […]
New phone number for USA/Canada callers
The new USA/Canada phone number for Shockwave-Sound.com: 347-918-3574. We had to get rid of our old Toll-free number because we kept getting more and more “silent calls”. Not calls from people trying to sell us stuff, or pre-recorded political messages. No sir. Just silence. Dead air. We asked around a bit what all these silent […]
