Today\u2019s guest deejay is Sam Rosenthal.<\/p>\n\n

I invited Sam to guest deejay on Soundwave because he is the founder of Projekt Records<\/a>. I didn\u2019t ask Sam because Projekt explores genres of music I love, such as ambient, darkwave, and goth, although that\u2019s part of it. No, it\u2019s because Sam has been running Projekt and releasing breathtaking music for nearly 40 years!<\/p>\n\n

For a lot of us, Projekt has become an institution. It feels like it\u2019s always been a part of our lives. Incredibly, I\u2019ve been listening to music released by Projekt for nearly half my life. Sam\u2019s Black Tape for a Blue Girl<\/a> has always been a favorite. Steve Roach<\/a>, of course, who makes an appearance on today\u2019s mix. And I\u2019ve been listening to Anji Bee and Ryan Lum\u2019s Lovespirals<\/a> for years. And so many<\/em> compilation albums.<\/p>\n\n

I fully expect Sam will be releasing more music from Projekt well into the middle of the 21st century. And Sam will be the house deejay at my funeral. Wow, that got dark. Sam, I hope you took that in the spirit that was intended.<\/p>\n\n

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

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

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

I put together a mix of tracks selected from the 600+ electronic\/ambient\/drone albums released on Projekt over the last 39 years (founded in 1983!) Three are my collaborations with label artists; for the other four, rather than selecting \u201chits\u201d I programmed deep tracks that I quite enjoy. With over 50 releases on Projekt in 2022 there is an abundance of wonderful music to chose from. My intention for\u00a0Soundwave\u00a0was to create an hour flow of the mood of Projekt \u2014 an exploration and overview for listeners discovering the label for the first time.<\/p>\n\n
