Today’s guest deejay is Garek Druss.

I met Garek through Mkl Anderson, AKA, Drekka, when I asked Mike who he thought would share a mix on Soundwave (listen to Mkl’s mix here). I trust Mkl without question, but all the same, I gave a listen to some of Garek’s work and was instantly won over. So of course I extended an invasion to Garek and I was not disappointed.

Garek describes himself as a a Los Angeles based artist who’s work explores the balance and sometimes friction between the physical being and the incorporeal. That sounds about right.

Garek’s got quite the mix for us. I’ll admit, most of the artists he featured I’m unfamiliar with, which, for me, is one of the delights of hosting Soundwave. He took me on a journey of lulling sounds, gentle crackles and hisses, and quite chords. When his mix was over, it felt like I had woken from. A half-remembered dream.

Garek has some wonderful prints you might want to adorn your space with. Check them out here.
