In true electronica form, Waveform Vision​(​s) is an eight-track release that features seven remixes of the title track “Waveform Vision”.

Orange Milk Records releases “Giant Claw vs Guerilla Toss” remix album

Orange Milk Records released a five-track extended-play of remixes by vaporwave/future funk artist Giant Claw of the DFA Records artist Guerilla Toss. While not strictly vaporwave, Giant Claw vs Guerilla Toss does incorporate the chopped-and-screwed sample aesthetic with which Giant Claw made his name, in addition to having a thoroughly retraux vibe that earned its place in the scene. It’s […]
