Today’s guest deejay is Melissa Pons.

I found Melissa while doing a deep dive in Bandcamp for new music to listen to. I spent the day skipping from musician to musician. I’d play a minute or two of a few of their songs. If it didn’t move or interest me, I’d move on to the next artist. I skipped across a lot of songs, and then I came across Melissa. Her music was compelling. I spent the rest of the day listening to her albums.

So of course I invited Melissa to guest deejay on Soundwave.

Funny thing. Earlier this week my friend and I were talking about ambient music. He’s a musician and he has strong opinions his craft. He thinks ambient is nothing but a lot of loops, for example. I told him “My friend, I know.” Yes, that kind of ambient music exists, but that’s not the kind of music that the guest deejays on this show play. I told him how Melissa’s makes me smile. Melissa’s mix took me on a journey, and I’d take delight when I found myself in reverie.

I hope you’ll have the same experience when you listen to Melissa’s mix.

Join us next week when our guest deejay will be Shad Marsh.

See you then.
