SOUNDWAVE : 103 : JOAKIM ALFVÉN

Today’s guest deejay is Joakim Alfvén.

I met Joakim through Sofia Nystrand, AKA Vargkvint. After showcasing her lovely mix during the summer (you can listen to her mix here) I asked Sofia who she thought would want to share a mix on Soundwave. I’ve found this a great way to be introduced to new music. Sofia went above and beyond and put me in touch with Jakob Lindhagen, Bonander, and Joakim.

We’ll hear from Jakob and Bonander in the next few months, but today we begin with Sofia’s recommendations with Joakim’s mix.

I’ve been steeping in Joakim’s mix the last few months, as I do with all the mixes sent my way. I often listen to the mixes while doing chores and errands such as walking my dog, doing dishes, folding laundry, etc. Joakim’s mix, however, has been my constant companion during the mornings. While I’m drinking my first cup of coffee and sorting through emails, and scheduling my tasks for the day, Joakim’s six plays in the background, the sun on my face. I’m on a riding a train with the landscape passing by my window in my imagination. Sometimes I can almost feel the train gently rocking to and fro.

It’s a magical experience. Please share where Joakim’s mix takes you if you’re so inclined.

Join us next week when our guest deejay will be Munknörr.

See you then.
