After the success of the first edition, Carl Cox’s Awesome Soundwave label (in partnership with Beatport) is announcing a second online festival for May 9th. The line-up includes Carl himself, who will also be joined by the likes of Christopher Coe + Ehsan Gelsi, Bloody Mary, Digital Afrika, Mat Playford, Giorgia Angiuli, An On Bast, Julien Chaptal and Satoshi Tomiie, who will all play live from their lockdown locations around the world. Awesome Soundwave is a live electronic label with a big reputation for releasing music from the cutting edge. It is exclusively for artists who play and perform it live and recent times have given rise to standout albums and EPs from a host of its ever-evolving assembly of artists.
The stream is headed up by label boss Christopher Coe, who will be joined by Ehsan Gelsi and will play a live collaboration from two different locations — the first of its kind in the world. New York based house legend Satoshi Tomiie will also line up, as will Australia’s Digital Afrika (whose new album will drop on Awesome Soundwave later this year), Rekids affiliate and Berlin-based live act, Hybrasil, fast-emerging Polish talent An On Bast and the highly-regarded Italian Giorgia Angiuli. Additionally, viewers will also be treated to the sounds of UK live act, Mat Playford, who’ll be joined by Bertie Burton. Using instruments from the 70’s to the present day, Bertie and Mat will perform music from Mat’s Solar LP (released via Awesome Soundwave) and older productions from Mat’s catalogue using an array of vintage keyboards
Awesome Soundwave stands in solidarity with their artists and, as such, have set up a fundraiser platform whereby 50% goes to the artists performing and 50% goes to the Crisis Kitchen Bali, an organization set up specifically to feed the local community in Bali who are on the brink of starvation due to the impact of the current crisis on their local economy. Once again this is a fantastic way to dance away your woes and indulge in the sound of one of the finest techno labels in the world, all from the safety of your own home.
Get ready for Awesome Soundwave Live x Beatport on May 9th!
