Today\u2019s guest deejay is Matt Donatelli, AKA Survey Channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

I met through Francisco Dominguez<\/a>. After Francisco shared his fantastic mix<\/a> earlier this year, I asked him who he thought would want guest deejay on Soundwave. Francisco recommended Matt, and after doing a deep dive on Matt\u2019s music, I wholeheartedly agreed.<\/p>\n\n

If you love today\u2019s mix, and you will, then you\u2019ll be happy to know that Matt spins on CAMP Radio<\/a>. His show is called Aural Dogma<\/a>. Tune in!<\/p>\n\n

Matt has some words about his mix below.<\/p>\n\n

I am increasingly grateful for Soundwave. I initially launched the show to help cope with the stress and isolation of the first months of the quarantine lockdown. I told myself that I would wrap the show up once the pandemic was reasonably under control: Soundwave would have severed its purpose. But the pandemic is not done with us. Over the last few months, I\u2019ve seen more and more people who are frayed and exhausted. I\u2019m a bit worn out myself, and Soundwave continues offering respite and delight. I hope you feel the same.<\/p>\n\n

Before I go, I want to let you know that Other Forms of Consecrated Life<\/a> (listen to their mix for Soundwave here<\/a>) just released Eva Kierten\u2019s new album, The Metallic Ratio<\/a><\/em>. Kierten continues to gently plumb emotional depths. <\/p>\n\n

Join us next week when our guest deejay will be John de Reybekill<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

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

Lately, I\u2019ve been seeking out a variety of cleansing soundwaves in countless flavors. From the oddly contemporary sounds of \u201cearly\u201d electronic group Syrinx<\/a>, the the folksy-pivot of ex-Sneaker Pimps<\/a> vocalist Kelli Ali<\/a>, to the wonderfully weird Iasos<\/a>. I find myself constantly visiting old favorites, as well. This mix is a snapshot in time of the tunes that spoke to me; working through me as I built it. I\u2019ve added a few minor soundbytes to a couple of the tracks \u2014 I find the mixes with a personal touch that can tell a story to be the most successful.<\/p>\n\n

Overall, I hope this mix acts as an inspiration for listeners to continue to seek out music in any genre; there is always something waiting to be heard.<\/p>\n\n
