Ah, you think Chillwave is your ally? You merely adopted the chill. I was born in it, molded by it.
OK, this one made me feel old. NTS doing a guide to chillwave. I knew most of the stuff in there but this jam, Brokendate from Com Truise is superb (do you think he regrets that choice of name?). Synthy artificial nostalgia that has looped around. And on Ghostly International too, you love to see it.
Time to die.

Enjoying this Indian Summer? That's still fine to say, right?
Anyway here are nine tracks I've been enjoying since the last one of these...
It's one of those tracks that really should've been on one of these lists long before now. Maybe it was, lemme check. Nope. Classic French filter house from the year 2000 that still abso slaps.
Blippy trippy electronica from yerr man from YMO who did Sports Men.
Tidy electro-pop yn Gymraeg from earlier this year.
Boy, do I wish I had known about this track while I was at uni? Delta 5's post-punk indie-disco classic gets a slightly beefed-up and extended cover courtesy of Sandy Steel, of whom I know zilch. Anyway, this was played by Sofie K and DJ Subaru on NTS a couple of weeks ago, def worth checking out Sofie K's Work Out shows on the station.
Always good to hear Andre 3000, especially in 2023. And y'know, Killer Mike too.
Joyous, summery hip hop from DOOM and that.
Incredible videos, immaculate vibes. You don't get more 80s than this. Pure electro gold.
Yerr fella from The Knife doing his minimal peak techno thing on Hessle Audio. I don't know how he makes his synths sound like that but I love it. Feels like a continuation from Oni Ayhun - OAR003-B which he released in 2010.
Seeing Chem Bros in Event City tonight, cannot wait. While doing my homework ahead of it, refound this banger from 2007's We Are The Night, which was also an Electronic Battle Weapon (8).
