20 October 2018 Sunbleach Leave a comment

bl00dwave is one of the longest-running (and still-running) vaporwave projects. Although he has primarily moved toward synthwave and old-school synthpop, bl00dwave is still fond for his earlier releases, some of which have been collected for Vaporwave Jams (2013-2015) on Gulf Audio Company. Vaporwave Jams (2013-2015) is not meant to be a complete set (bl00dwave released not a few albums during […]

29 April 2018 Sunbleach Leave a comment

2 Ways for You is an exclusive four-track split between Alpha DreamDrift X and bl00dwave. Alpha DreamDrift X is a bit of a newcomer in the genre, but bl00dwave has been producing vaporwave, vaporhop, and synthwave-inspired music for several years, dropping the anticipated Distance last year on Business Casual. This release is all uptempo electronic/retro-synth music that’s welcoming in the […]

Recommended for fans of 420,000MPH by AM ÀFFAIRS, which also dropped yesterday on Business Casual. It’s available as […]

AOTW | 14 August – 20 August: bl00dwave – ＮＥＷＶＩＳＵＡＬＳ

14 August 2017 Sunbleach Leave a comment

bl00dwave’s ＮＥＷＶＩＳＵＡＬＳ was released in February 2014 – perhaps surprisingly late in the game for a classic-style album that’s so obviously classic-style. Although topically one of many albums that rely on simple pitch-/tempo-shifting, ＮＥＷＶＩＳＵＡＬＳ is notable for its naivety. Not that bl00dwave is naive, but the atmosphere within this album is one of fancy and lightness. It’s full […]

Business Casual releases “Distance” by bl00dwave

6 August 2016 Sunbleach Leave a comment

Long-time producer bl00dwave dropped new music on Business Casual yesterday. It’s called Distance, and it represents a significant departure from the artist’s early productions. The album utilizes the various tropes of retro synth music, chillwave, and nineties sampling techniques to create a thoroughly tropical time. It’s available as a pay-what-you-want digital download and for $8 on CD in an edition […]

bl00dwave – ＮＥＷＶＩＳＵＡＬＳ

Recommendation: ☀☀☁ /r/vaporwave’s “Guide to Vaporwave Subgenres” lists bl00dwave as a part of the “vapormeme” subgenre, which is described as “a derisive term […] [that] tend[s] to take multiple aesthetic styles of vaporwave with no contextual reason […] presenting them in a confused light that has no purpose.”1 Ouch. Is it all deserved? Well, not entirely – at least not […]
