This fourth Not For Resale mix has been a while coming (though not as long as last month’s John Dwyer one!), so much so that it may have already missed the boat; although that’s not to say that Chillwave’s star is descending just yet, it definitely has a lot of plateauxing to do as it gathers new fans and many of these records of been holding my fascination for over a year. Considering the amount of blogging that’s been devoted to it I am surprised by the number of people who have never come across any of these artists. Strange to think that a genre I consider so devoutly Pop that has been so central to my life for the last year is so alien to others. So, I figured, not only did I want to make it for the fun of it, but that there could be some kind of demand for an immediate history lesson of the genre in one tidy mix - with some newer impending artists for the future thinkers. It surely is time for such a thing.
