Chazwick Bundick is a 23-year-old South Carolina native with a degree in Graphic Design. Non-plussed? Well it's his alter-ego who has been making the real waves, with an associated portmanteau that's been making musos the world over cringe and shudder. Chillwave, the linguistic blend that is as hybrid as the 'genre' it so desperately tries to define, is a term most often used when describing the distorted synth-dominated sound Toro Y Moi is affiliated with. Though labelled a 'pioneer' of this movement, it's a title he'd admittedly live without. Jasmine Phull indulges in a little Q&A with Toro Y Moi, the bedroom producer of Filipino descent, ahead of his Playground Weekender 2011 appearance. Jasmine: If things had been different I'd...
