BIB10, Stephen Wilkinson’s 10th album recording as Bibio, retains its top spot on our charts this week. The album revels in vintage guitar and old-skool production sounds. New neo-swing from Bebo Best enters in at number 2 and Thievery Corporation’s Eric Hilton jumps to number 3 with an advance from his forthcoming Present Past and Future. #downtempo #electronica #radio #topspin
Loved hearing the Ladytron this morning. Immediately put me into retro mode and into a wikipedia downward spiral.

This one takes us back to the glory days of synth pop & our college radio days. So many artists sounding retrospective these days. Is it a trend?

I have two theories:
(1) It’s as you said, a wonderful trend.
(2) In a secret laboratory in the San Juan Mountain Range, you’ve constructed a time machine and installed a wired studio-to-transmitter link, with the transmitting side in the past, and the receiver in the present. However, you’ve ignited a butterfly effect, which has created an alternate discography for artists like Ladytron. Therefore, a track like “City of Angels” is actually from the past, but it’s an alternate past. So it’s new to our timeline.
Pretty sure it’s one of the situations above.

It’s the multiverse, no question about it. Here’s the tech. Yes, actually constructed in our RF design lab: https://youtube.com/shorts/sh0dSG9FZ80?feature=share
