Rocket Race to the Sovietwave! Part II

Jade and Leslie continue their deep-dive into the EDM subgenre, Sovietwave. Playing new wave, post-punk Russian tunes and Sovietwave, the duo discuss why western youths love Sovietwave. They also have a discussion about the role that aesthetics and emotions play in the communitas of nostalgia.
