“….you will drive, to the south…”

This was the soundtrack to my recent trip down south for my lovely aunt’s funeral.

20 similar tracks to follow including some more from Motorama, a post everything band from Russia..


Nuggets 210 - Driving Electro

Nuggets 210 – Driving Electro by Paul on Grooveshark


Below is my first attempt to use Spotify instead of Grooveshark to stream these tunes….There seems to be a few tracks missing.  While the the mix plays quite happily on my PC, out here in the wilds of the internet the selection is looking, well, spotty. Hmmm. Will investigate.

On my first attempt using Grooveshark it was able to find a few more tunes than offered by Spotify. The Grooveshark advantage is that (TaDaaa!)  you can upload tracks that are missing from your own collection. Problem is if the rights holder of the song(s) objects then Grooveshark will cut off your uploading ‘privileges’.

Hmm

Weeeell, I upped the 7 missing tracks and the playlist is complete. Enjoy.

Nuggets 100 – Chullwave (redux)

Nuggets 100 - ! - Chullwave web

Last time I approached a mixtape anniversary (the 100th),  I decided to make a series of mixes with different themes highlighting what I had come to love over the previous 99.

This is mix remains one of my favourites, the first 7 tracks in particular; dreamy voices lost in the mix. I liken them to electronic versions of Phil Spector’s Wall of Sound.

Why chullwave? Well, at the time I made this mix the music wags had yet to decide on a name for the keyboardy electronic sound with processed voices that was becoming popular. Chillwave,  or better chullwave as one Scottish blogger termed it, is / was a term bandied about for this sound.
