Today's guest deejay is tttlllrrr. I've known tttlllrrr for over a decade. I may have met him through Solipsistic Nation, my electronic music show. I was immediately impressed with tttlllrrr's pluck. He had a vision for a genre of music that hadn't existed yet called Magicore, a mélange of metal, electronic dance music, video-game music, and Japanese pop music. Through his Magicore blog and mixes (here are ttwo you can listen to), tttlllrrr willed magicore into existence, which is in itself an act of magic. So tttlllrrr's pretty cool. Also, I like to collaborate, and tttlllrrr likes to collaborate, so we hit it off. Over the years, I've wrapped tttlllrrr into several of my harebrained schemes that are great fun, including inviting him to guest deejay on Soundwave. When tttlllrrr sent me his mix three years ago, my reaction was, “Uh…” I began Soundwave to deal with the quarantine's stress and isolation during the pandemic's early days. Ambient, classical, experimental, and instrumental music helped me through those first few months. What tttlllrrr shared was a mix that leaned hard into the experimental and instrumental and reflected tttlllrrr's personality. And it was a mix I wasn't in the headspace to listen to. So I shelved tttlllrrr's mix for a later date and, in doing so, denied tttlllrrr's expression of whatever he was thinking and feeling when he put together his mix. Not cool. But over time, Soundwave has expanded its horizons. It's mined more and more experimental and instrumental music. Christian Sager's mix is a perfect example. So at long last, here it is! Join us next week when our guest deejay will be Aidan Baker. See you then.

Today's guest deejay is Michael Jakucs, AKA Sunwarper. After hearing Michael's music in both Brian Sangmeister and Forest Robots's mixes for Soundwave, I invited Michael to share a mix. Based on Michael's music, I knew we were in good hands. But I did not anticipate the surprising directions he took his mix and yet felt utterly familiar. Let me explain. The focus of Soundwave is ambient, classical, experimental, and instrumental music, with an emphasis on the ambient. And that's fine. I'm all about that ambient life. But for me, it's always a delight when a guest shares a mix that leans into the show's classical, experimental, and instrumental aspects. Christian Sager's doom metal/math rock/hip hop mix comes to mind. As does Charles Hazlewood's mimimalist/modern classical/free jazz mix. What makes today's show special, for me, is that it's very much steeped in shoegaze and dream pop. So while I only know several of the artists in Michael's mix, I already feel well acquainted with the music I'm unfamiliar with. It's very déjà vu. I keep asking myself, “Isn't this a 4AD release?” Michael just released a track composed for the season finale of the webcomic The Eagle and the Snake called "Forever Becoming.” He also has a full-length album, Radiant Visage, that will be released on October 14 and available for pre-order on September 9.

Today's guest deejay is Christian Sager, co-host of Supercontext, a podcast autopsy of media: how we consume it and how it informs our everyday culture. I love Supercontext. It feels like a podcast that was produced exclusively for me. For example, some of the topics they covered have been the anime Akira, Roy Scranton's Learning to Die in the Anthropocene: Reflections on the End of a Civilization and Bruce Sterling's state of the word address at SXSW 2016. Sadly, Supercontext is now defunct although Christian and co-host Charlie Bennet still release a monthly podcast for Patreon supporters where they chat about the media they've been consuming.

This week, Hannah sits down with Dave Moore and Christian Sager, co-managers of the forthcoming horror magazine Corridor. The magazine will incorporate short fiction, comics, essays and fine art into one anthology (so, basically like our Halloween special, but in a print form). The stories will blend horror with science fiction and fantasy, focusing on everything weird and wondrous. Hannah got a sneak peek at what readers can expect from the magazine, slated for release in Spring 2021. Sager and Moore have promised to pay their contributors (an unfortunately unique pledge in the publishing world these days), so they’re crowdfunding to cover that expense as well as printing costs. The Kickstarter campaign closes Nov. 19. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/514327241/corridor-magazine-spring-2021 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/CorridorPublications Instagram: @corridorpublications Twitter: @corridorpubs As always a thank you to Jake Bassen for our theme song. https://soundcloud.com/jakebassen As well As Camron Clawson, for our Correspondence Remix.

Sex between humans and machines is nothing new in the world of science fiction. Their forms range from angelic mechanoids to victimized humanoids, but the robotic lover is almost always an expression of purely human anxieties. Yet as real-world technology advances, we’re left to ponder the emerging form of the sex bot -- and the possibilities range from mere animate fetishes to therapeutic surrogates. In this episode of Stuff to Blow Your Mind, Robert Lamb and Christian Sager consider arguments for and against the embrace of synthetic paramours.(Originally published March 30, 2017) Learn more about your ad-choices at https://news.iheart.com/podcast-advertisers
