Tycho is the prototype for chillwave, a genre defined by its down-tempo electronic vibes. Dive is Tycho at its hypnotic best, a fifty-minute nest of beats and ambient waves produced by Scott Hansen. The ten tracks are, as Hansen describes it, artifacts from a future which might have more in common with our past than our present. We couldn't agree more.

Tycho's Scott Hansen is a graphic designer as well as producer which, in a way, gets echoed in an impressionistic attention to detail that defines Hansen's blissed out, headphone-friendly soundscapes. The project picked up a Grammy nomination in 2017 which, even after 15 years in existence, is a rare and special achievement for an artist rooted in the intelligent dance music (IDM) and chillwave traditions of slow-blooming electronic beatmaking.
