Säge the 64th Wonder to Release ‘Sagewav: Red Version,’ a New Album on a USB-Powered Game Boy Cartridge, Bypassing Streaming Services

The seven-track album, inspired by the iconic Pokémon series, offers a tangible, collectible music experience in a bold move against the grain of the streaming era.

CHICAGO, IL (September 23, 2025) – Chicago-based artist Säge, The 64th Wonder, has announced his upcoming album, “Sagewav: Red Version,” the second installment in a series inspired by the legendary Pokémon Game Boy franchise. In a deliberate stand against the norms of the streaming age, the album will be released exclusively in a physical format that is both a nod to 90s nostalgia and a vision for the future of music distribution.

“Sagewav: Red Version” is presented on a physical cartridge, aesthetically designed to resemble a classic Game Boy game. Housed within the nostalgic shell is a USB drive containing the album’s 7 hard-hitting soundscapes. This innovative approach ensures a direct-to-supporter connection, providing fans with a high-quality audio experience and a unique collectible artifact. This release is a manifestation of Säge’s ingenuity and leader-like aura as he pioneers a new path for artists to present their work.

This project represents a conscious decision to combat the ephemeral nature of digital streaming. As stated on Säge’s official platforms, streaming services will not be supported for this release, which is intended to be “analog-first and direct-to-supporter.” This makes “Sagewav: Red Version” a statement on the value of music and the artist-fan relationship. The project is positioned to be one of the most standout albums in recent Chicago history, both for its sonic depth and its forward-thinking release strategy.

Physical editions of the album, including limited-run vinyl, CDs, and cassettes, are expected to begin shipping to pre-order customers in the late summer and early fall of 2025.
