Scott Hansen is  on the stage, preparing to play his third song of the night. He stands, huddled over his midi controller with a Gibson Les Paul electric guitar slung across his back. Hansen, better known as the chillwave artist Tycho and graphic design artist ISO50, then begins the song, A...

Get ready, Gainesville. Something awesome this way comes. No, I’m not talking about the Drake show. I’m talking about Tycho. He’s playing Double Down Live Tuesday, bringing his brand of chillwave to the stage. The best way to describe his music is electronic post-rock....
