Raziel Panic

<p>Today’s guest deejay is <a href="http://youshriek.com" title="Raziel Panic">Raziel Panic</a>.</p> <p>I know Raziel from way back. We’re talking about the days when people would send cassette singles to radio stations for airplay. My memory is hazy, but I think I was aware that Raziel was part of the Boston music scene with his band You Shriek in the late 80s. Crazy.</p> <p>When I say know, I mean more win the sense I knew of Raziel. The circles we traveled overlapped. I even had You Shriek perform on my show on <a href="https://www.wmfo.org" title="WMFO">WMFO</a>. But we never really knew each other.</p> <p>But thanks to social media, I get glimpses into Raziel’s life through his <a href="https://www.instagram.com/razielpanic/" title="Instagtram: Raziel Panic">Instagram account</a>, usually in beautiful black and white photos.</p> <p>I extended Raziel an invitation to guest deejay on Soundwave and I was curious what I’d hear. Raziel is know for goth and industrial music, but that of course doesn’t encompass all the music he listens enjoys. It’s no incongruous that his mix ranges from Arvo Pärt to Einstürzende Neubauten to Kitaro. Marvelous stuff. But still a surprise.</p> <p>The You Shriek track Raziel included in his mix was never released on digital. <a href="mailto:josephtaleo@gmail.com">Contact me</a> if you’d like a download Raziel’s track. </p> <p>Raziel has a digital release in the wings, and I’ll let you know when it’s available.</p> <p>I still don’t know Raziel, but I hope to hang out with him next time I’m on the East Coast. </p> <p>Join us next week when our guest deejay will be <a href="https://yannnovak.bandcamp.com" title="Yann Novak">Yann Novak</a>.</p> <p>See you then.</p> <ol> <li><a href="https://www.arvopart.ee/en/arvo-part/work/387/" title="Arvo Pärt">Arvo Pärt</a> “Cantus In Memory Of Benjamin Britten”</li> <li><a href="https://zerozeroisland.bandcamp.com/album/the-dark-age-singles-2010-2020-2" title="zero zero island">zero zero island</a> “From Pure Air...
