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.

Pre-orders for the collectible USB, priced at $44.44, are now open exclusively at SageThe64thWonder.com. The release will not be re-issued.
Produced entirely by SINAI, the EP is a statement on the value of music as tangible art. It features rhymes by Säge, The 64th Wonder, Remy4rmDaLxnd, and BLKMVN. By centering the release on a physical, scarce item, the artists are demanding a more meaningful and direct form of engagement from listeners, framing support as a direct investment in the culture.
Embodying their groundbreaking approach, Säge states:
“WE DOING WHAT NO ONE IS AND SHALL CONTINUE TO DO SO…”
This philosophy extends to the project’s digital footprint. Public streaming previews will be limited to 50 seconds to protect the work’s integrity and encourage fans to experience the full compositions by purchasing the project. The full digital album will go live on September 7th for purchasers.
The #SLUMPCZN: The Iron Sage (Limited Edition SHINTENDO USB Album) is a collectible, a statement, and a new blueprint for independent artistry.
Chicago, IL – Artist and producer SÄGE, THE 64TH WONDER has announced his new album, Sagewav: Green Version, set to ship in late Summer/early Fall 2025. In a deliberate rejection of the streaming era, the project will be available exclusively on physical media, with each format being a strictly limited, one-time pressing that will never be reissued.
The release strategy is designed to create what SÄGE calls “rare artifacts for true collectors, supporters, and archivists of the culture.” This physical-first approach transforms the album from a disposable digital file into a tangible, collectible timestamp. Once a format sells out, it is gone permanently. As the artist’s policy states: “Ain’t no reruns in the underground.”
Featuring 14 tracks with titles like “TM18” and “TM20,” the album draws thematic inspiration from video game and nerd culture, promising a unique sonic experience to match its exclusive format.
