Today\u2019s guest deejay is Dami\u00e1n Schneider, one-half of Munkn\u00f6rr<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

I discovered Munkn\u00f6rr by way of Heilung<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

In the beforetimes, a friend posted a link to Heilung\u2019s new album, Futha<\/a><\/em>, on Facebook. I listened to a few songs and scoffed that Heilung was a Nordic version of Enya. But Heilung\u2019s costumes captured my imagination, and I went back and listened to their album in its entirety and became a fan. So much so that I went to perform when they were in Los Angeles. <\/p>\n\n

Heilung we\u2019re excellent! I was transported to an age undreamt of for the next hour or so. Heilung looked like Nordic shamans and cheiftans. Aside from the band, there were a dozen warriors and shield maidens. Antlers adorned microphone stands. Some of the audience dressed almost as provocatively as I saw on stage.<\/p>\n\n

Spotify started to serve up music much like Heilung on my Discover Weekly playlist within a few weeks. It dawned on me that what Heilung called amplified history was a genre.<\/p>\n\n

And that\u2019s how I came across Munkn\u00f6rr.<\/p>\n\n

Munkn\u00f6rr means \u201cthe ship of the mind,\u201d and this music on today\u2019s show will transport you to other worlds and times. If you\u2019re new to Munkn\u00f6rr, today\u2019s show is an excellent place to start. Dami\u00e1n\u2019s mix explores their many singles and albums.<\/p>\n\n

Join us next week when our guest deejay will be Darren McClure<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

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