This mix encourages a wider approach to dreampop, electronica & similarly dreamlike, dark atmospherics. Continually narrow playlists of synth/dreampop + the tendency to automatically present anyone outside the UK in the shadow of 4AD & co. does a disservice to a diverse wealth of music. This sound is traced back to a large pool of early international experiments with reverb, synths, etc. in the 1960s (folk, Tropicalia, etc); to its mainstream 80s heights; to its evolution in modern artists.
