SOUNDWAVE : 161 : CARMEN RIZZO

Today’s guest deejay is Carmen Rizzo.

Writing today’s show notes was a head trip. Carmen shared his first mix for Soundwave three years ago. That’s not a significant amount of time, but it feels like it. That was our first pandemic summer. You never knew if your next visit to the grocery store was going to be the one that exposed you to COVID and could kill you. Three years later and we’ve gotten along with our lives. Yes, COVID is still a threat, but now it’s manageable. Yes, we’ve all been changed by the experience, but hopefully, we’ve all grown somehow.

That’s where my mind went when I thought about what to say for today’s show notes.

I hope that Carmen takes this in the spirit intended. Camrens music has been part of the soundtrack for my pandemic. I was already a fan of his before launching Soundwave, and he was on my list of people I wanted to guest deejay on the show. During that time, Carmen’s music has appeared on mixes from other guest deejays and in shows and mixes I listen to on Mixcloud and Spotify. Carmen’s music has been a constant presence in my life for the last three years.

No words from Carmen on his mix. No playlist. Carmen’s mix is personal and lovingly hand selected. You’ll have to experience it. I’ve been listing to it as I write these show notes, and I assure you, you’re in for an emotional journey.

Join us next week when our guest deejay will be Henrick Öhberg.
