Today’s guest deejay is Tim McManus, the had honcho of Island House Recordings, a little label based on a little island in the East river, Roosevelt Island, NYC. How did I cross paths with Tim, you ask? Oh, the usual circuitous route. A few years back, Stefan Beck, who moonlights as Golden Brown, took over the turntables on Soundwave (you can check out Stefan’s mix here). I asked him who might be keen to share a mix on an upcoming show, and without missing a beat, he recommended Tim. Stefan said he curious to hear what Tim put together. After doing a deep dive into Tim’s label, I was curious, too. Tim did not disappoint. He kicked off his set with a track from The The — talk about a curveball. That unexpected twist set the tone for the entire mix. From there, Tim kept the surprises coming, weaving through tracks from Gastr De Sol (I’m a longtime David Grubbs fan) to Nimbudala. You’re in for a treat! Naturally, I’m already primed to ask Tim who he thinks should helm the decks on Soundwave next. Join us next week when our guest deejay will be Broken Chip. See you then.
