# The Chain

A curated list by [piXelbreach](https://waxlog.com/user/pixelbreach) on Waxlog, submitted to the **The Chain** challenge.

> These 50 records sit at the heart of my collection,  only a sliver of an archive running to several thousand releases. They trace only one personal map through the electronic music that shaped my way over the years. A single thread from one record to the next, ending where it began. It’s only one path of many and same kind of chains could be drawn through countless other genres in the collection.
