Today\u2019s guest deejay is Chuck Soo-Hoo, AKA Ki Oni<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

We have Mark Trecka<\/a> to thank for today\u2019s show. After Mkl Anderson, AKA Drekka<\/a>, shared a mix with us (listen to it here<\/a>), I asked him who he knew would want to guest deejay on Soundwave, and he highly recommended Mark. Mark had to pass, but he mentioned that he is helping Ki Oni with publicity for his new forthcoming record on AKP, and I wondered if I\u2019d be interested in inviting him. I luxuriated in Ki Oni\u2019s A Leisurely Swim To Everlasting Life<\/a><\/em> album, and here we are today with an exquisite mix for you to enjoy.<\/p>\n\n

Now that I think about it, we have Drekka to thank for today\u2019s show because he\u2019s the one who got this ball of wax rolling. And these connections are one of the unexpected delights of Soundwave in the last few years. Four people are the furthest the degrees of separation of guest deejays on Soundwave. It\u2019s only a matter of time before that extends to five people. As I said, unexpected delight.<\/p>\n\n

Another unexpected delight: Chuck chose his pseudonym, Ki Oni, as an homage to a Japanese monster movie creature of the same name \u2014 a tree with a human face that spews flower pedals from its mouth. Sublime.<\/p>\n\n

On a personal note, I\u2019ve enjoyed listening to Ki Oni\u2019s mix while walking my dog, particularly around a lovely community spot at a nearby cliff during the golden hour. It was a nice moment.<\/p>\n\n

Join us again next week. I\u2019ll be behind the virtual wheels of steel.<\/p>\n\n

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