Smoke Don’t Smoke just released a compilation titled ‘Dopewave Is Real’. They say

Dopewave is an experiment in genre creation. Birthed out of a new group of young producers creating electronic sounds, that are simultaneously like nothing, and like everything you’ve ever heard. They reside primarily on SoundCloud, forcing us to become foragers among the clouds in constant search for that perfectly shaped sound. They are sounds that could attract several genres, from disco to trap, ambient to hip-hop, shoegaze to post-dub, and on and on. New sounds need new identifiers.

Give it a listen. Some great summer jams on there.

Also, the new Japandroids album just came out which is pretty great. Go listen to that too.
