Ahoy there! This is @ablank here kicking off WIUX's very first 8tracks mix! With so many great DJs at WIUX, I'm honored to be the first to take you on a reverse-engineered trip through four separate decades of shoegaze music. Featuring an annotated tracklist that starts from the recent trends of the day and works its way down to shoegaze's swirling, fuzzy beginnings, this mix highlights the common stylistic threads that define this sprawling, diverse genre's place in music history.
