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.

Visitors to our shores

I read through the bands coming to Auckland for the Big Day Out and Laneways. Many have been featured in earlier blog entries. See the list above, those in blue link through to the blog entry. It’s a pretty eclectic mix of artists. I will dig out any older mixes where these bands feature. I am not blown away by the choice but there are bands I would like to see.

There is a reasonable ‘LoFi’ turnout with Cults, Girls and Yuck, a bit of shoegazey action with TPOBPAH and Mariachi el Bronx to show what punks sound like when they go back to their mariachi roots.
