What do you get when you blend Post Dubstep and Chillwave, two of the biggest breakthrough genres in the last few years? A rough formulaic recipe for the sound of Sun Glitters, Luxembourgs very own Victor Ferreira has merged together eerie pitch altered vocals and warm, lingering synth sounds to create a hybrid sound that plays out like a sonic pool of quick. Which if you’re wondering, is a good thing. Continue Reading »
