This week’s deejay is Kévin Séry, AKA From Overseas. Kévin is also the label manager for Past Inside the Present, a label, and resource for the ambient listener. From Overseas is Kévin’s ambient project. Using his guitar as his tool of expression and looping techniques, he creates a multiplicity of layers, intense drones, and mesmerizing soundscapes both in the studio and in live performances. Originally from the tiny French Overseas Department and Region, Reunion Island, he routinely bounces between his home island, a small port town on the east coast of the US, and continental Europe, picking up fresh ideas and inspiration along the way. Kévin’s mix is very familiar, even though I’m unfamiliar with every song and musician featured in his mix. There’s something about Kévin’s mix that evokes the sound and feel of 4AD, a label that was known for alternative rock, post-punk, gothic rock, and dream pop albums. But if I had to narrow it down, I’d say that Kévin captures the spirit of 4AD’s This Mortal Coil. There’s something haunted in the selection of his songs but still quietly triumphant. Kévin has some words below about his mix. Join us next week when our guest deejays will be brothers Sebastian and Daniel Selke of CEEYS. It’s an honor to be part of the Soundwave series. I love doing mixes like this. It’s a great way to go on a unique journey and to immerse yourself in the work of amazing and influential artists. This mix was made on February 23rd, 2021, when winter was slowly giving space to spring. Hopefully, people feel what I feel and can discover a few gems. 36 & awakened souls “Guide Me Home (awakened souls - Shoegaze Version) ” Lucy Gooch “Ash and Orange” Emily A. Sprague “Woven” Chuck Johnson “Raz-de-Marée” Illuvia Iridescence” Ilyas Ahmed & Jefre Cantu-Ledesma “Ocean Blue” From Overseas “Rêve” Christina Giannone “Untitled111” Alex Somers “Sooner” Mogwai “Dry Fantasy” --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/soundwavemix/message
