Reprise

I started this project during the first covid lockdown. A friend of mine sent me a few tracks by some well known synthwave/vaporwave artists, namely A.L.L.I.S.O.N, Windows96, Hotel Pools and ever since the entire genre has consumed me. I felt compelled to make a new alias to explore the sounds that gave me so much wonder and nostalgia in a time where everything was dark and uncertain.

In this episode we have Andrew Walker co-founder and  owner of Stratford CT Records on the show to discuss music, his labels origins and history. He takes us through his early days of the record label up to what he is doing now. We get into the details of running a label and he gives his unguarded insight into what its like to be an independent label. We discuss vinyl of course and his philosophies regarding what and how he releases records.

Andrew has been at the forefront of what is known as Chillwave or Chillsynth music. He helped launch the genre of music into something truly unique both in terms of sound and culture. Andrew is know for his specific curation of music and passion to bring artists to the fore Either through his label as a full release or through his secret selections series that brings up and coming artists to the attention of many.

George Mavridis - Deseo Erótico (Erdinc Erdoğdu ReMake)

A fresh take on George Mavridis’ sensual classic — “Deseo Erótico” — reimagined through Erdinc Erdoğdu’s hypnotic rhythm and deep melodic drive.
Latin grooves meet underground energy; warmth, pulse and temptation blend into a slow-burning dancefloor storm.

💃 Mixed with passion, built for sunsets and late-night sets.
🎧 Turn it up, close your eyes, and let desire take control.
