Today’s second album by Earth Sounds (or EARTH SOUNDS) is PRANALYSIS, and it’s available through HVRF. As with its sister album Chronological Blessings Vol. 2 on Antifur, PRANALYSIS is a mini-album of instrumental hip-hop with elements of L.A. hip-hop thrown in. This one is a bit more beat-driven and experimental than the Antifur album, with most tracks being relatively short […]

Seikomart continues to branch out into vaporwave/cyberpunk genres outside of their original focus on classic-style/mallsoft with fear effect by Black Ant. This ten-track full-length is something of a mix between trip-hop and vaporgoth music. Imagine Nearly God by Tricky and Psyence Fiction by UNKLE combined with the music of Chinese Hackers, and you’ve kinda got what this album is about. […]

This full-length is full of glitchy trip-hop music, vaporwave production styles, and old-school plunderphonics production. A bit harsh, but with the super-clear production that is unique of Business Casual releases. Have you ever heard of Phantomsmasher or […]

This album comprises two quarter-hour tracks that are highly influenced by early California trip-hop (think “In/Flux” by DJ Shadow, but with less ADD) and downtempo music. The album is available for $6 as a digital download and for $7 […]

Recommendation: ☀☀☁ Nu.wav Hallucinations is vaporwave’s remix album. A nigh eighty-minute suite by Alexander Koenig (presenting here as Nmesh), this album utilizes the characteristic recognizable sampling of the ECCOJAMS subgenre and imparts each track with the body-moving atmosphere of dance music. Just check out the Smiths-screw of “Soon Enough,” which wouldn’t be out of place in an eighties nightclub in […]
