Today\u2019s guest deejay is Dani, AKA Kloob<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

Dani\u2019s mix is a special selection of some of the his deepest tracks.<\/p>\n\n

Dani has been composing electronic music for 20 years, from underground electronic dance vibes to ambient atmospheric scapes. Dani has been deeply involved in ambient since 2010, and he has released under Relaxed Machinery<\/a> and Winter-Light<\/a> labels.<\/p>\n\n

Dani is yet another musician I\u2019ve discovered on Bandcamp. Unless Bandcamp has a predictive algorithm running behind the scene, I assume Bandcamp is pretty straightforward: what you see is what you get. Meaning, if you\u2019re into, say, ambient music, then Bandcamp serves up a bunch of stuff in that category. As far as I know, they\u2019re not displaying music based on your play count or rating or whatever.<\/p>\n\n

That\u2019s got me thinking. I love Spotify\u2019s Discover Weekly playlists. After years of using it, it gets me. Spotify is just one of many platforms competing for my dollar, offering a set of services and options that they hope will entice me. But for SOUNDWAVE, I\u2019ve found myself lately perusing ambient, classical, experimental, and instrumental music on Bandcamp based album covers, the names of the artists, and skimming through a couple of their tracks. I did it the old-fashioned way like a savage.<\/p>\n\n

Dani had me hooked.<\/p>\n\n

First, the name. Kloob?<\/em> Really? I\u2019m in.<\/p>\n\n

His album covers are gorgeous.<\/p>\n\n

And Dani\u2019s music has got all the things I love in ambient. His mix ranges from the cosmic to the sublime to the primal. You\u2019re in for quite a journey.<\/p>\n\n

It didn\u2019t take an algorithm. All it took was Dani delivering on the promise of an experience.<\/p>\n\n

Join us next week when our guest deejay will be Julie Carpenter AKA Less Bells<\/a>. You guessed it, she\u2019s another musician I discovered on Bandcamp.<\/p>\n\n

See you then!<\/p>\n\n
