Trevor Something - Death Dream

 I enjoy the VHS electro haze of Trevor Something's releases. Some tracks also blur into a "High Tides" style of distortion which are dreamily pleasant too:

GLASS TEETH - Black Kool-Aid

Telefon Tel Aviv - Lengthening Shadows (Unmixed) and beyond

A track from the post-Charles Cooper-era Telefon Tel Aviv I somehow missed hearing:


Telefon Tel Aviv - Lengthening Shadows (Unmixed)  


Lyrics were posted here:

My bones have wasted away
and I've withered like the weeds
It's gone, my life, it's gone


It's interesting the direction Telefon Tel Aviv's remaining half has moved in. I was disappointed with the various remixes that followed TTV's "Immolate Yourself" album / Cooper's passing -- they just lacked the ethereal gravity I loved in their 2009 release.


However, Joshua Eustis (the other half of the band) seems to have carved out an interesting future following that shakeup:


Case in point, Eustis' Darkwave-Industrial-Synthpop(?) project Sons of Magdalene, and his latest release "Move to Pain":

Carpenter Brut Synthwave DJ Sets

I'm not a fan of the iconography this guy is using (it really doesn't mesh with his Hotline Miami / Synthwave dance sound), but Carpenter Brut's mixsets are quite good:

 Soundcloud is a great site. Taking the best elements from the old myspace, last.fm, and other music-related websites, it's created an amazing resource for finding new music.

For an every growing array of synthwave, chillwave, and other music that sounds like it came from an alternate universe circa 1980, visit the 'ThisStuffIsWonderful' Soundcloud 'like' page.

Synthetix's Top 80's Inspired Synth tracks of 2012

Track listing from Synthetix's post:

COM TRUISE - Yxes (No Sexy Edit by Blayne)

COM TRUISE's IN DECAY album is excellent. However, one track 'Yxes' ('Sexy', backwards) has  particularly jarring breaks with a retro sounding "Sex-eeeee!" soundclip. I also wasn't a fan of the funky break it has near the end - so I chopped the song up, looped, reordered, re-EQ'd, and filtered it.

Remix and custom track art by Blayne Scott. Enjoy. :-)

Here's the original, for comparison:

DJ Blayne's : Memory 2012 (Mix Tape):
A mix of chillwave, electro-ambient, and electro-synthpop I find emotionally evocative.
