I\u2019m going to keep today\u2019s intro short because I learned that a family member tested positive for COVID-19. Our current understanding of the virus is that there is a 97-99% recovery rate. If you have pre-existing conditions then the chance of recovery lowers, and he has pre-existing conditions. I am optimistic that he\u2019ll recover but our family is obviously rattled and I\u2019m finding it difficult to concentrate on anything. Hence today\u2019s brevity.<\/p>\n\n

Our guest deejay on today\u2019s show is Tijs Ham<\/a>, who records under the name Tapage.<\/p>\n\n

I was introduced to Tijs\u2019s music when I interview Paul Nielsen, the founder of Tympanik Audio<\/a>, on solipsistic NATION<\/a>. I was impressed with Tijs seamless blending of ambient, breakcore and IDM that I broke one of my rules for solipsistic NATION, which is not<\/em> playing an artist\u2019s music more than once on the show. In fact, I featured Tijs\u2019s music on the show quite times<\/a> and invited him on solipsistic NATION to perform a live set<\/a>. And that\u2019s exactly why I invited Tijs to be a guest deejay on SOUNDWAVE.<\/p>\n\n

Tijs will paint a picture of his mix below but before I go, please join us again ext week when our guest deejay will be Gert De Meester of Distant Fires Burning<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

Until then, wear a mask and wash your hands and be safe.<\/p>\n\n

A journey commences near the entrance of a cavern, stretching deep into a vast mountain. With each step the sunlight dims and fades until the dark remains. Balancing onuneven surfaces, the path leads further inwards, devoid of shapes and features, lost in time and space. Then, barely visible, a faintlight appears. Distant and flickering, like a candle in a slight summer breeze. As vision is slowly restored, the inevitable becomes clear. Are we back where we started?<\/p>\n\n
