- Description: Wah Wah 45s are very proud to present the new LP from an exciting, brand new signing for 2025. The music of Isaac de Martin, otherwise known as Ike, blends jazz and electronic influences into warm, smooth, and often cinematic soundscapes. A certain eclecticism is not surprising considering that the composer, producer and guitarist was born in Italy into a musical family with British roots, studied classical guitar, graduated in jazz and went on to develop his personal style through creative experimentation, live touring and collaborative work with artists from a variety of disciplines and countries.Under the shadow of the pandemic, Ike headed to Egypt, a country that has always held a deep fascination for him. Finding sanctuary between teaching at Cairo's Heliopolis University and observing the progress of an ecological development community, the creative foundation of Ike's forthcoming LP, entitled 'On Higher Dreams' began to take form.Music holds a revered position in Egyptian culture; it has done so for countless generations. With a western eye, some can be guilty of seeing music solely through the lens of entertainment.

In Egyptian universities, faculty meetings often commence with live concerts, setting the correct tone and environment for the discussions to follow. Ike was invited to perform in this setting, and this approach to music, as well as the philosophy that underpins it, was keenly absorbed.In western culture, all too often we bear the contrast of living with a physical and social connection, freedom and expression against one with isolation, restriction and fear.
