Today\u2019s guest deejay is Mike Cadoo, the founder of n5MD<\/a>, a much loved and respected independent record label based out of Oakland, California. n5MD focuses on ambient, modern composition, post-rock, and experimental electronic music.<\/p>\n\n

As a long-time fan of n5MD, I showcased<\/a> Mike\u2019s label on solipsistic NATION<\/a>, my electronic music show, years ago. Mike guest deejayed<\/a> on Soundwave in 2021 and returns today with a much-needed mix for me.<\/p>\n\n

I can\u2019t go into the details, but last week I nearly died. You\u2019d never know it by looking at me. Physically I\u2019m fine. But I\u2019m shaken. I find that I quickly get emotional about things. Sometimes I have a profound respect for life, all lives. Sometimes I\u2019m filled with existential despair. I\u2019m told this will pass in a few months. In the meantime, I\u2019m having these overwhelming experiences.<\/p>\n\n

Mike doesn\u2019t know this, but his mix helped get me through the week.<\/p>\n\n

Mike has some words about today\u2019s mix below.<\/p>\n\n

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

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

My song, \u201cSunrise at Ironhorse Trail,\u201d included in today\u2019s mix, is from a release that I will be releasing on my personal Bandcamp page<\/a> on World Alzheimer\u2019s Day<\/a>. My father passed this January in what can best be described as complications due to mixed dementia. All proceeds will be donated to Hope Hospice<\/a>, which was very integral in the comfort of my father in the last days of his life, as well as, and maybe even more importantly, my mother\u2019s grief counseling after his passing.<\/p>\n\n
