Elemental 95 releases “Lens Flare” by POCARI ステューシー

French-American netlabel Elemental 95 is out with new music this weekend from POCARI ステューシー, titled Lens Flare. This album is classic-style vaporwave with just a bit of future funk influence, owing to the utilization of mostly uptempo samples that have a danceable beat behind them. As with many E95 albums, there’s an ever-so-slight sheen of static and hiss over the […]

Elemental 95 releases “Дventure” by 遠い夢UPLOAD & WTF.FM

Elemental 95 has some new triptastic ECCOJAMS from 遠い夢UPLOAD and WTF.FM, titled Дventure.

This album returns to the pure classic-style vaporwave of Elemental 95 releases, featuring a preponderance of weird, pseudo-ECCOJAMS tracks that stutter and stall their way through the murk of easy listening and R&B/soul.
