Today\u2019s guest deejay is Max W\u00fcrden<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

I discovered Max on one of my deep dives on Spotify. It was Max\u2019s Format<\/a><\/em> that captured my imagination. The album is warm and wistful. It feels like a ray of luxurious sunshine on a cold winter day. I don\u2019t know. It\u2019s subjective. Maybe you\u2019d get something different from your listening experience, but that\u2019s what it was like for me.<\/p>\n\n

Max is known for diverse soundscapes and soundtrack production . Proficient as a drummer, he crafts sounds from silence. His works span various awards, including nominations for the Peer Raben Music Award. Max boasts a prolific discography across labels like Kompakt Records and Farfield Records. His recent endeavors involve album releases like Landmark<\/a><\/em> and Script<\/a><\/em>, alongside exhibitions and contributions to the renowned Pop Ambient series. Max\u2019s versatility shines through collaborations, and film soundtracks.<\/p>\n\n

So naturally I invited Max to guest deejay on Soundwave. I was delightfully surprised.<\/p>\n\n

Max sent me a mix steeped in jazz. I thought there\u2019d be a lot more jazz (or Black classical music) on Soundwave, but sadly, it\u2019s a genre that is neglected on this show. Until now, that\u2019s it. Max digs deep and serves up rarities that should become part of your daily rotation. But it\u2019s not all jazz, either. Max included the ambient and instrumental music you\u2019ve come to expect on Soundwave and deftly weaves it with jazz that\u2019s seamless.<\/p>\n\n

See you next week.<\/p>\n\n
