Grandmaster Mille - Tropical, shoegaze, Chillwave, glo-fi, blisswave, endless summer - ...

W A V E P O D Grandmaster Mille's monthly sonic wave ride,
mixing up chill/ bliss/ synth/ -waves, glo-fi, nu-gaze & indietronica tracks

wikipedia; "The term "chillwave" is said to have been originated on the Hipster Runoff blog
The New York Times' Jon Pareles described the music thus: "They're solo acts or minimal bands,
often with a laptop at their core, and they trade on memories of electropop from the 1980s, with
bouncing, blipping dance-music hooks (and often weaker lead voices). It's recession-era music:
low-budget and danceable. Its musical predecessors are diverse and include the synthpop of the 1980s,
shoegaze,ambient, musique concrète and various types of music outside of the Western World.
The genre is also a prime example of shifting the idea from defining a musical movement's birth in
part by a specific geographic location, as is historically done, to focusing instead on how the
groups became linked and defined through various outlets on the Internet. The Wall Street Journal
quoted Alan Palomo of Neon Indian on genre,
"Whereas musical movements were once determined by a city or venue where the bands congregated,
'now it's just a blogger or some journalist that can find three or four random bands around
the country and tie together a few commonalities between them and call it a genre,'.
"Despite the stylistic similarities listed above, Palomo and other artists have questioned whether
chillwave really constitutes a discrete genre.
