Soundwave has been around just long enough that it is beginning to form a rhizome-like network. I like that.</p> <p>I also like José’s mix. I’m never quite sure where one song ends, and the next begins. The only boundary is the start and end of his mix. It exists in some liminal space that is akin to being awake and being asleep. I’m doing my best to describe José’s mix, but really, you need to let it wash over you and take you where it may.</p> <p>José is a self-taught composer and recordist based in Mexico. His compositions explore the balance between electronics and environmental sounds, chaining narratives, context, and movement, all based on the felt of direct presence.</p> <p>He is the current label manager and founder of <a href="https://novafundrecordings.bandcamp.com" title="Nova Fund Recordings">Nova Fund Recordings</a> an independent label focused on contemporary arts and music. All his productions was released in many countries around the globe for mention some: <a href="https://whitelabrecs.com" title="Whitelabrecs">Whitelabrecs</a> (UK), <a href="https://faintmusic.bandcamp.com" title="Faint">Faint</a> (ES), <a href="https://eterlab.bandcamp.com" title="Ediciones Éter">Ediciones Éter</a> (CO), <a href="https://blaqrecords1.bandcamp.com" title="Blaq Records">Blaq Records</a> (MX), <a href="https://www.facebook.com/woscolectivo/" title="WOS Colectivo">WOS Colectiv
