It\u2019s late and its been a long week so I\u2019m going to keep this short.<\/p>\n\n

The only thing I can think off the top of my head that\u2019s COVID-19 related is that supposedly a bunch of teenagers on Tik Tok punked President Trump<\/a> earlier today by reserving tickets for his rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He was supposed to pack a stadium full of supporters but instead it was barely half full. Was it teens that did this, though? At this point I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if it was pulled of by Russian or Chinese hackers. In any case, whoever did it, well done. That means half as many people might get infected with the virus. Reading Trump\u2019s rage tweets<\/a> is going to be something.<\/p>\n\n

Our guest deejay for today\u2019s show is Jaime Irles.<\/p>\n\n

Jaime was one half of Known Rebel<\/a>, an electronic music duo from Ibiza. I very much wanted them to interview them for my electronic music show, solipsistic NATION<\/a> but it never happened. I always regretted missing that opportunity so when I launched SOUNDWAVE Jaime was one of the first group of people I contacted to participate on the show.<\/p>\n\n

Jaime was kind enough to send me this mix we\u2019re going to listen to on today\u2019s SOUNDWAVE. It\u2019s spectacular and ranges from Burial<\/a> to Ryuichi Sakamoto<\/a> and I know you\u2019re going to love it.<\/p>\n\n

Jamie\u2019s going to tell us all about his mix below but before I go I encourage you to pick up his latest album, Cardonova<\/a><\/em>. I was expecting sometime more in the style of what he was recording when he was in Know Rebel but I was delightfully surprised to hear the new horizons he\u2019s exploring. It\u2019s got more of an 80s synthwave kind of sound. Go get it, its only a few a few dollars. The price of a cup of coffee, as they say. And while you\u2019re at it, if you dig any of the the songs you hear on today\u2019s show, go buy them too. Sure, you could stream it, but then the artists only get the tiniest fraction of a penny. They deserve more than that. Splurge and buy one of their songs. Better yet, buy an entire album.<\/p>\n\n

Next week\u2019s guest deejay is Tijs Ham<\/a>. See you then!<\/p>\n\n

The set I have recorded is a mix of organic soundscapes, melancholic melodies, textures and darkambient sounds with a strong cinematic touch.<\/p>\n\n

Burial has been one of my musical referents for years and wanted tostart the set with one of his latests works. \u201cState Forest\u201d is full of gloomy ambient textures and foggy atmospheres.<\/p>\n\n

Lorn<\/a> is one of the usual artists on my spotify lists, this specific subject takes me straight to an imaginary cyberpunk movie.<\/p>\n\n

I came across A Winged Victory For The Sullen<\/a>\u2019s \u201cRetour au Champ-de-Mars\u201d a while ago looking for movie soundtracks. I haven\u2019t had the chance to see the French movie In the Shadow of Iris<\/a><\/em>, but the soundtrack is just as beautiful as it is powerful.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cEncounter Me In The Orchard\u201d is a relatively new track from Polish producer Jacaszek<\/a>. I love the mix of reverb drenched melodies and sonic textures on thisone.<\/p>\n\n

Lauge and Matt Tondut<\/a>\u2019s \u201cAbove the Clouds\u201d is ambient music at it\u2019s finest, melancholic soundscapes that keep the cinematic vibes of the set.<\/p>\n\n

Nicolas Winding Refn<\/a> is one of my favorite directors and Too Old To Die<\/a><\/em> young one of the best series I\u2019ve seen lately. Watching the show is like being in an art gallery, watching one beautiful moving painting after another and as an accompaniment to that visual work of art, the music of Cliff Mart\u00ednez<\/a> with one of his most outstanding works. \u201cI\u2019m Hunting\u201d is the best fit on set but could have used any of them.<\/p>\n\n

The \u201cAnnihilation\u201d end-scene wouldn\u2019t have been this impressive if not for this amazing piece of dark ambient. Not the typical Moderat<\/a> song but I wish they would do more music on this direction.<\/p>\n\n

Lorn again, not much to comment on, I just love \u201cSILHOUETTE \u201c and his haunting landscapes of sounds.<\/p>\n\n

With Ryuichi Sakamoto and Oneohtrix Point Never<\/a>\u2019s Rework<\/em> you can\u2019t go wrong. Daniel Lopatin is one of my main influences and this trackis a clear example of why. A beautiful piece of art.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cNaval\u201d is the last track of from my Cardonova<\/em> EP I released in April. The album is an eclectic mixture of downtempo, synthwave, and dark ambient sounds reminiscent of past decades,evoking soundscapes and leading the listener through a journeythrough the depths of oneself. I named the track in honor of Naval Ravikant<\/a>, an Indian American entrepreneur and investor that really inspires me.<\/p>\n\n
