Today\u2019s guest deejay is Mkl Anderson, AKA, Drekka<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

One of the delights of Soundwave is the people I continue to meet through the guest deejays that appear on the show. Take Mkl. I met Mkl through Raziel Panic after the last mix he shared on Soundwave. Raziel highly<\/em> recommended Mkl. There was no doubt that I would invite Mkl to share a mix with us, but that didn\u2019t stop me from spending a delightful afternoon experiencing his music.<\/p>\n\n

I\u2019m still emotionally processing Mkl\u2019s mix. I know that sounds pretentious as hell, so hear me out. Most times, someone sends me a mix, and I have an immediate reaction to it. But with Mkl\u2019s mix, I feel like I keep unpacking stuff from it, which is why I\u2019ve listened to it so damn much.<\/p>\n\n

I love it, though, and I\u2019ve also found that Mkl\u2019s mix is the perfect soundtrack to play while telling my grandson fairy tales as he drifts off to sleep. I can\u2019t think of a better compliment than that.<\/p>\n\n

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

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

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

This mix was done with fresh thoughts of my recent tour of California this past April with my spirit animal, Timber Rattle. I hope it evokes cinematic landscapes and drifting thoughts of driving California\u2019s long, open stretches of desert and tight, winding coastal roads.<\/p>\n\n

Mixed alongside a field recording of ocean waves and pebble beach I made on my trip, I have included some deep, long-time essentials like Cindytalk and Simon Fisher Turner, alongside cherished friends and recent discoveries. Plus, a brand new Drekka track in celebration of the 20th anniversary of Sascha Stadlmeier\u2019s Emerge project.<\/p>\n\n
