Another great livestream I'm disappointed I wasn't able to attend live, this time from @axwax
A mix of electronic music varying between dancey, hip-hop influenced stuff and more downtempo-ish stuff.

I'm kinda glad there is no definition of what is and is not #bonkwave because that just completely averts a whole layer of obnoxious discourse I've seen around various genres of music in the past. it's like... yeah we're not gonna get in your way, just enjoy this :D
So I don't normally do this, but I just finished the initial mixes of 14 tracks for my upcoming album Metamorph!
This has been one of those projects looming for a while as I started work on this album back in 2023, and with some starts and stops and hiccups along the way it's finally in a good place.
I am hoping to have it released between now and mid-Fall.
Special thanks to the #BonkWave and the #Musodon community on here as you it has provided me with a lot of support to get here
@defaultmediatransmitter A whole #BonkWave song made of PSS sounds? We absolutely should!
@limneticvillains @axwax @limebar
That would be amazing!
@keefmarshall wrote the only primer on the history of #BonkWave that I know of. Might be a good starting point.
@limneticvillains That's a great idea & I would love to see the original one!
How about a #BonkWave feature?
Part of what makes explaining it so difficult is that sometimes it behaves like a #bonkParticle and other times it behaves like a #bonkwave .
Genre scientists still struggle to fit it into a unified theory of #bonk, which is part of what makes it so damn interesting.
Happy Bonk Day! ...again
(At least it's not a time loop.)
Happy #BonkDay to everyone who celebrates it on the 22nd of July!
See here for links to this year's fabulous #BonkWave AllStars release produced by @axwax and featuring many other artists, with remixes by @defaultmediatransmitter and @CCirco :
Proof that I'm busy compiling the next #bonkwave release.
@sknob @CCirco @defaultmediatransmitter
These projects just take on a life of their own, and no-one including the "project lead" know where they'll end up.
Well, at least I didn't have a clue...
I love when one can just spontaneously react to whatever collaborators throw at you, making the whole thing so much more organic!
Oui c’est ma voix qu’on entend vers la fin. J’adore ces projets collaboratifs où tu ne sais pas qui va contribuer quoi et ce que ça va donner à la fin. @axwax et les remixeurs @CCirco et @defaultmediatransmitter sont des virtuoses du #bonkwave
Never quit bonking, my friends!
Haaaapppyyyyyy BONK DAY!

What is Bonkwave? From https://ravenation.club/@yoniden/110755450682334065 :
"...the real problem [of applying a genre to your music] arises when you think well perhaps it's "BonkWave" or whatever, and then some other #MusicHead who is Full On Bonk Wave Hard says "This is not Bonk Wave"
Once again we've had 7 individuals contribute to the release, namely:
@ambientspace
@axwax
@CCirco
@defaultmediatransmitter
@sknob
@socool
@Traiken
Thanks so much for your work - I hope you've had as much fun making it as I did!
Also thanks to @keefmarshall for behind-the-scenes magic and to all you lovely listeners!
Last but not least, thanks to @yoniden for the post that sparked it all:
Time flies when you're having fun - it's exactly two years since @yoniden's first post about #BonkWave.

I had hoped to submit a song for the #bonkwave summer collection, but health and other things conspired against me. But maybe there work I've done so far will be the seed for one or more ambient drone tracks!
