Tycho’s single of last month ‘Hours’, has been given a dreamlike working over by Teen Daze.
Turning the track into an audio haze of intertwining synths and distant melodies, Teen Daze goes one step beyond Chillwave and layers the fantasy synths thick. Their reMix, though, is kept in line with a solid beat that give the track a nice early 90’s feel. Like a Chillwave Orbital.

Yoonha Park directs this is reasonably standard Chillwave stuff, soft focus, introspective, quaint and a bit dreamlike. It’s all good though and works really well with the track.
‘amor Fati’ come from Washed Out’s album, ‘Within And Without’, out now.

Toro Y Moi ‘s ‘All Alone’, taken from his forthcoming ‘Freaking Out’ EP is a pure synth Funk experience.
It’s awesome to see synth Funk in the hands of an already accomplished songwriter who can keep things catchy and slick and never veering off into Moog squelching oblivion. Of course there is a little wash of Chillwave over the top but on the whole ‘All Alone’ shrugs off the chains of ‘turning-the-reverb-up-to-11 for a smoother, more soulful, sound.
The ‘Freaking Out’ EP is available 13th September via Carpark Records.

Here a nice mellow slice of retro Chillwavey ElectroPop to ease you into the week.
‘Gentle Man’ is Jensen Sportag’s latest track is a perfect exercise in smooth 80’s Pop with a modern twist. Part MJ ballad, part spacey Chillwave and part 80’s Pop classic. there’s a hint of early Duran Duran in the music too. These two guys from Nashville certainly know how to craft and absorbing and nostalgic tune.
Jensen Sportag’s ‘Pure Wet’ EP is out now on Cascine.

Quirky subject matter and dreamlike cinematography? Must be a Chillwave video! It is! It’s for Neon Indian’s sublime ‘Polish girl’.
In all seriousness it’s a nice video and flow with the track well.

Jazzy, soulful, slightly Chillwavey with a hint of Disco and a touch of Glitch is how you might describe the title track from Flume’s first EP.
‘Sleepless’ (which features Anthony For Cleopatra) is a pretty stunning début for this Sydney based 19-year old producer. Chopped beats and cut-up vocals are pretty standard fare for Glitchy electronica but Flume layers these with a true understanding of Funk and a smooth groove that ties the track together and makes it more than it’s contemporaries.

Here’s the new track from Neon Indian from his forthcoming album, ‘Era Extraña’.
‘Polish Girl’ is a lush, dreamy summer nights SynthPop track. With the simplest of lead lines Neon Indian buries the melody in your consciousness, becoming a rock for the multi-layered synths and bouncy bass to work their magic. With one foot in Chillwave and the other in the 80’s, ‘Polish Girl’’s laid back nostalgia takes you away to better times.

Following on from Brooklyn based producer Aimes’ single ‘Every Time When I See You’ comes his just released début album.
‘Your Floor Is Now A Tree’ is a raw album, by which I mean it’s electronic, but doesn’t sound sequenced and quantized. It feels like it is being played live on every listen. There’s an excitement and energy that comes with that feeling that suits Aimes, Chillwave, Dreamwave, DiscoPop, Indie-Electro crossover perfectly. A deeply introspective album, both musically and vocally, Aimes conveys a subdued emotional resonance in every song, through chord progression and narrative. You can tell the album is very personal to him. And hey, there’s stuff to dance to here too!
