Mixtape: Best Songs of 2008 – Electro/Pop

best-songs-20082

As many of you who read this blog already know, I’m mostly indie rock girl but I do dabble in a little indie pop/electronica from time to time. I am attracted to that Euro/ambient/dub pop/downtempo groove. However, it’s the rare album in this genre that can hold my interest all the way through. Which is why you won’t find many (if any) electro/pop albums on my top 20 list for 2008

But there were many great songs of this variety that stood out to me this year.  And here is a compilation of some of those tracks that moved me.  I love listening to this mix and hope you will too. Enjoy!

  1. Koushik, ‘Lying in the Sun

Nightmares on Wax : New Track – 195lbs

It’s electronica day!  I was excited to find this exclusive stream of the new Nightmares on Wax track, 195lbs, on RCRD LBL today.   The track is from their yet to be released album, ‘Thought so…’, which is scheduled to drop August 25.  

I pretty much own every NOW album and look forward to adding this one to my collection as well. They consistently produce the kind of electronica music I’m so fond of – the downtempo, trip-hop variety.

Check out the exclusive stream of 195lbs here.
