Soul Jazz Records’ Cold Wave is a fresh collection of contemporary electronic artists inspired by the late ’70s and early ’80s European cold wave pioneers. Embracing a DIY ethos with lo-fi tech, drum machines, and home recording, these artists often self-release, run labels, and collaborate in collectives. Influences range from early electronic, no wave, and post-punk icons like Suicide and Public Image to diverse sounds like Underground Resistance and New Beat.
