Today\u2019s guest deejay is tttlllrrr<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

I\u2019ve known tttlllrrr for over a decade. I may have met him through Solipsistic Nation<\/a>, my electronic music show.<\/p>\n\n

I was immediately impressed with tttlllrrr\u2019s pluck. He had a vision for a genre of music that hadn\u2019t existed yet called Magicore<\/a>, a m\u00e9lange of metal, electronic dance music, video-game music, and Japanese pop music. Through his Magicore blog and mixes (here are ttwo<\/a> you can listen to), tttlllrrr willed magicore into existence, which is in itself an act of magic. So tttlllrrr\u2019s pretty cool.<\/p>\n\n

Also, I like to collaborate, and tttlllrrr likes to collaborate, so we hit it off. Over the years, I\u2019ve wrapped tttlllrrr into several of my harebrained schemes that are great fun, including inviting him to guest deejay on Soundwave.<\/p>\n\n

When tttlllrrr sent me his mix three years ago, my reaction was, \u201cUh\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n

I began Soundwave to deal with the quarantine\u2019s stress and isolation during the pandemic\u2019s early days. Ambient, classical, experimental, and instrumental music helped me through those first few months. What tttlllrrr shared was a mix that leaned hard into the experimental and instrumental and reflected tttlllrrr\u2019s personality. And it was a mix I wasn\u2019t in the headspace to listen to. So I shelved tttlllrrr\u2019s mix for a later date and, in doing so, denied tttlllrrr\u2019s expression of whatever he was thinking and feeling when he put together his mix. Not cool.<\/p>\n\n

But over time, Soundwave has expanded its horizons. It\u2019s mined more and more experimental and instrumental music. Christian Sager\u2019s mix<\/a> is a perfect example. So at long last, here it is in all it\u2019s glory! It\u2019s joyous and life affirming!<\/p>\n\n

I don\u2019t think tttlllrrr ever sent me a playlist, so you\u2019ll have to Shazam<\/a> the hell out if his mix.<\/p>\n\n

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

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