Chillwave

Chillwave emerged from the sun-soaked beaches of California in the late 2000s, where someone apparently thought that 80s synth sounds and lo-fi production were just what the world needed to unwind. It’s characterised by dreamy melodies, nostalgic samples, and the kind of laid-back vibe that makes you want to sip a Piña Colada while not doing much at all. If you ever fancy a soundtrack for an afternoon nap or a hipster barbecue, look no further; just remember to bring your mirrored sunglasses and ironic t-shirt.
