From Overseas

<p>This week’s deejay is Kévin Séry, AKA <a href="https://fromoverseas.bandcamp.com" title="From Overseas">From Overseas</a>. Kévin is also the label manager for <a href="http://www.pastinsidethepresent.com" title="Past Inside the Present">Past Inside the Present</a>, a label, and resource for the ambient listener.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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 <a href="http://www.4ad.com/" title="4AD">4AD</a>, 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 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_Mortal_Coil" title="This Mortal Coil">This Mortal Coil</a>. There’s something haunted in the selection of his songs but still quietly triumphant.</p> <p>Kévin has some words below about his mix.</p> <p>Join us next week when our guest deejays will be brothers Sebastian and Daniel Selke of <a href="https://www.bruederselke.com" title="CEEYS">CEEYS</a>.</p> <p>It’s an honor to be part of the Soundwave series. I love doing mixes like this. It’s a great&nbsp;way to go on a unique journey and to immerse yourself in the work of amazing and&nbsp;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&nbsp;few gems.</p> <ol> <li><a href="https://pitp.bandcamp.com/a
