Cultus Vibes: Together compilation

I have a Biology final tomorrow that I'm supposed to be studying for. Finals will render this blog mostly desolate this week, but for now I'm procrastinating to tell you about Cultus Vibes! The digital label run by Canada's chillwave kingpin Teen Daze released its first compilation last week, and I still have it on constant rotation. Besides Teen Daze, the (totally free!) comp features ATHID favorites like Ghibli and Des A Boda. I can see almost any of the acts on the consistently great compilation becoming favorites in the future, particularly Slow Magic. Keep an eye on Cultus Vibes, I have a feeling they may be one of few shining lights left in the stagnating chillwave scene. Don't let me fool you into thinking "Together" is a one trick pony however, the last third features ambient post-rock, folk and even a decidedly soft-rock number from Teen Daze side project Little Chords. If this comp can't keep me sane until Christmas break, I'm not sure anything can.

We Own the 365 - Waka Flocka Flame & M83 (Shisha Mashup)

After you get over the initial shock of Waka Flocka shouting over the delicate synths of M83, you're actually left with a very solid mash-up. Maybe its crazy but I'm starting to think I might actually like this more than the original We Own the Sky. Waka's comically repetitive chorus adds an extra propulsion to the already hypnotic build, and more importantly it adds a bit of variety to a song that might have been just a bit too long.

We Own the 365 is part of an absolutely nuts remix/mashup compilation by Sewer Greats. The comp includes ATHID pals like Teams, Raw Thrills and JSHIH, who's Ghost Town DJ's remix I'd also highly recommend.
