Today\u2019s guest deejay is Mark Van Hoen<\/a>. I know him as Locust.<\/p>\n\n

Let me back up. Late last century, Astralwerks released the Excursions in Ambience<\/a><\/em> compilation series. Excursions<\/em> touched and changed many lives. Last year, I shared my Excursions in Ambience Retrospective<\/a> mix on Soundwave. I fell back in love with the compilation series and reached out to as many of the musicians featured in the series to share a mix on Soundwave. This leads us to Mark, who recorded under the name Locust and appeared on the Excursions in Ambience 2: Second Orbit<\/a><\/em> album. And you know what? The man said yes and sent us the mix we\u2019re listening to today!<\/p>\n\n

Mark kicks off his set, paying homage to the legend, Damo Suzuki<\/a>. Then he throws in some new stuff he\u2019s been cooking up, you know, keeping it fresh. But that\u2019s not all, folks. We\u2019re taking a trip down memory lane, pulling out some classics from the last 70 years. It\u2019s a sonic time machine. Here\u2019s where it gets real interesting. Mark has got this exclusive, unreleased track from a young gun, straight fire, I\u2019m telling you. We also hear some surprise tracks from Flying Lotus<\/a> and XXXTENTACION<\/a>. Plus, he dug up a couple of hidden gems, stuff that\u2019ll blow your mind. And just when you think it can\u2019t get any better, Mark hits us with some Egyptian and Turkish vibes, topping it all off with a little Terry Riley<\/a> magic. Yeah, that\u2019s how we do it. That \u2018sjust how Mark rolls.<\/p>\n\n

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

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