Today’s guest deejay is Riz Maslen.
Riz’s last mix for Soundwave is what I imagine a mix from Wes Anderson might sound like at first. But then Riz pivoted to Egyptian jazz-inspired psychedelic rock, to trip-hop, and moved on. And yet, it all hung together seamlessly.
I was so delighted with Riz’s mix that I invited her to share more beautiful music. And, wow, did Riz Maslen deliver!
Riz’s mix is a fusion of both contemporary and classics, but I was instantly smitten with Arooj Aftab’s “Inayaat” (check out my mix featuring Arooj). Riz’s mix will swaddle you in an immersive listening experience. It’s been the soundtrack to my morning commutes for the last few weeks, and it’s a pleasure to share it with you.
Riz’s new second album will be released in 2024 from Aircooled, her new band born out of lockdown with Oliver Cherer, Justin Welch, and Katherine Wallinger.
Catch Aircooled at The Shacklewell Arms in London on October 18.
Join us next week when our guest deejay will be Garek Druss.
See you then.
