Today’s guest deejay is Garek Druss.
I met Garek through Mkl Anderson, AKA Drekka, when I asked Mike who he thought would share a mix on Soundwave (listen to Mkl’s mix here). I trust Mkl without question, but I heard some of Garek’s work, and I instantly won over. So, of course, I extended an invasion to Garek, and I was not disappointed.
Garek describes himself as a Los Angeles-based artist whose work explores the balance and sometimes friction between the physical being and the incorporeal. That sounds about right.
Garek’s got quite the mix for us. I’ll admit, I’m unfamiliar with most of the artists he featured, which is one of the delights of hosting Soundwave. He took me on a journey of lulling sounds, gentle crackles and hisses, and quiet chords. When his mix was over, it felt like I had woken from a half-remembered dream.
Garek has some beautiful prints you can adorn your space with. Check them out here.
Join us next week for returning guest deejays, the brothers Sebastian and Daniel Selke (CEEYS).
See you then.
