Blide by WVCKO
Blīðe - WVCKO
A mixture of Electronica, Dream Pop, Trip-Hop and Ambient, Psychadelic and a few other styles.
"When Northumberland-based WVCKO began recording Blide back in the halcyon days of 2019, he set out to create music that would allow him to feel 'total escapism and tranquility' at a time when the world around him seemed to offer anything but. Little did he know he'd be creating the essential antidote to 2020 in the process, because Blide is one hell of a cathartic experience given the current inescapable madness of the here and now.
From the calm atmospheres of Distant Voices and Palma, through to the frenetic grooves of Joint and Bloc, there's a broad array of sounds and styles on offer, but Blide never fails to be consistent and refreshing. A superb debut."
-Michael O'Neill, NARC. Magazine, Issue 163. July 2020.
