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.
Neon Indian’s ‘Era Extraña’ is out 13th September.

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!
♫ Aimes – Living Like We Do
♫ Aimes – Hard Notes & Love Drugs
♫ Aimes – Wonder Stories
‘Your Floor Is Now A Tree’ is out now on ModyWorks.

Toro Y Moi’s new video, ‘How I Know’ is decidedly slapstick by Toro Y Moi standards.
Jordan Kin directed this clip which has gone a bit hipster Casper.
‘How I Know’ is the third single from ‘Underneath the Pine’.

This is Franklin’s new track, of which we know very little about.
It’s taken from his Wool Recordings album ‘Artificial light’, due out later this year, and shows Franklin at him most intimate and electronic. This chilled piece is stripped down to the core of one man and his synthesizers and is strangely hypnotic. That analog bassline is so enveloping.
Franklin’s album is due out in October this year.

DannielRadall has just released a new EP, comprised entirely of reMixes and rewords of Jef Barbara’ ‘Cocaine Love’
The ‘Cocaine Love’ EP is a journey through twisted ElectroPop, sleazy synth Funk and the dark side of the 80’s. That doesn’t mean that this EP doesn’t have a groove though, check out ‘On Mirror’ which takes the song to a slow jam Disco place where Moog leads and big 80’s chords form a path that leady you to the dark underbelly of DiscoPop. The original DanielRandall reMix of the track is a strange and enticing mixture of reverb soaked Chillwave and an Italo, almost EBM bassline, which seems to counterpoint and accentuate the slight sense of dread in the vocals.

Chillwave staple Toro Y Moi in more of a smooth mode right about now.
He’s just announced his latest EP, titled ‘Freaking Out’ which is rumoured to be influenced by the likes of the Gap Band and Teddy Riley. You can hear that in Toro Y Moi’s cover of Alexander O’Neal & Cherelle’s ‘Saturday Love’. Slick late 90’s electronic R&B with a dreamy Chillwave sheen and an ear for spaced-out Funk. The tune, which features on the new EP, is a sweet love song with a mind-blowing bassline seen through the haze of reverb washed psychedelia.
‘Freaking Out’ is released 13th September.
