>>61343436
yo
>>61343511
I like this a lot. I'm at the "super minecraft kid" part and it's pretty cool. It's more abstract than melodious in a good way
>tfw just want to live in a dying japanese mega dystopia and smoke weed with my Ikea ferns until I can leave my body behind and ascend to higher planes

be honest, is r/vaporwave any good? I don't want to feel like a shill by reposting albums I don't see mentioned on here that I like.

Mallsoft is back.

>>61346672
mallsoft never left
also i have one of those hologram plaza cassettes, they're kind cheaply made but still neat
I made a vaporwave track and I think it's pretty cool.

Swear to god this is the best vaporwave alum I've heard
How is this different from synthwave?
Any good vaporwave this year BESIDES 2 8 1 4 because desu I'm not feeling that album
Obviate by Darksleep was a good one
>>61347704
>synthwave
"the 80s was so good man, why can't life be more like my john carpenter moviefilms"
>vaporwave
"the 90s was so good man, why can't life be more like my lo-fi pepsi commercials"
>>61347704
relies mostly on sampling rather than original compositions. more 90s than 80s

This also dropped last week. Can't get enough

Thanks for this, it's good stuff.

Synthwave is Miami Vice
Vaporwave is L&O
>>61346672
>>61347495
It's a shame Mallsoft had to die so suddenly due to useless moderators in the SC group letting people post whatever they wanted.
If you go into the group 99% of it is just vaporwave or shitty beats that have nothing to do with it.
>>61350283
Can't blame the death of the genre on one soundcloud group. There has to be a way to develop a bigger audience, and really let the genre flourish.
I'm all for promoting this music if we can find a suitable platform.
>>61343392
I like that you start these threads with questions; it pleases my autism. Also nice filename.
>Underrated
Moon B - Lifeworld
>Overrated
2 8 1 4
>Obscure
Maybe not all that obscure, but I'm partial to the vocals in Topaz Gang - P.E.A.R.L. Also AxelDM - XTASIS MEDIA IOX. It's basically eccojams with samples from spanish pop music it comes out pretty nice.
>Weird
that one Internet Club album
>Beautiful
Shader - Sacred Tapestry
>Spooki
Death Grips - Government Plates
>Have you made vaporwave?
Yep ddx-10.bandcamp.com I use MATLAB as my DAW
>Hardvapour/DC
I actually like the direction they're going in. I'm not a huge fan of the neon japan aesthetic tho

Did this really just sample a proto-vaporwave song from Yello?
The King Crimson of Vaporwave?

Lost my virginity to this song
>>61354266
This is a super chill track. I love it.
I made one of the first ever Mallsoft tracks but never really followed it up:

Should I do an album?
>>61354480
Maybe get some buzz on /r/vaporwave and see what you can do.
>>61354648
I've got a week of holiday before I'm back at work, I might put together some tracks and get something out there.
>>61354912
I'm looking forward to it, I sent that to a friend and he liked it very much.

best to ignore the blatant shilling and to drown out meme catalogue with other shit you like instead. his fanboys (assuming it isn't hke himself) will never stop.
>>61355388
Then why do you care so much? Why do you keep making posts about him lol?
>>61355323
>>61355462
answer: >>61355429
>>61355429
i only posted "Thoughts of HKE"
i think that everyone is kinda confused
>>61355484
he replied to a diff anon, this is dumb
https://ailanthusrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/coastal-nostalgia
kind of hooked on this one as well but I always skip the 10th track. anything similar? there's a chart that had this under some category but the albums it was grouped in with didn't match each other.
>>61346324
Stay the fuck away from there. It's garbage.
I'm new to this genre. What makes vapowave different from easy listening/elevator music?
>>61346324
It's okay. Probably a better place than 4chan half of the time, just expect a lot of asskissing as usual for reddit.
Vaporwave threads are infrequent here, so you'll probably get more long-term discussion on /r/vaporwave.
The fact that it's not an irony-pit already makes it worth a visit.
Here's a track I did a while back that samples a 1984 documentary called "The Devil's Triangle" and the Donkey Kong Country 2 OST.
https://soundcloud.com/bermudabeats/the-devils-triangle-and-flight-19
>>61344584
anyone got any more shit like this?
this is the best thing I've heard in a while
Anyone have a download link for pic related? I need itttt thanks

Although I'm still active here, /mu/ vaporwave threads aren't very exciting anymore. r/vaporwave is hit or miss, also. I was suddenly inspired after reading this thread to create a dedicated vaporwave forum where we can hopefully try to get a better community going. I'll be setting it up in the next little while, but if anyone wants to join in the meantime, feel free. At least we can save our threads and continue a better discussion. Here's the link.

>>61356068
The editing/usage of samples, visual and audio aesthetics, intent and sometimes attempts at social commentary.
>>61356274
use "anything to mp3" to rip each song one by one until you have the full album

>>61356410
diff anon, will quality be affected?
>>61354987
He's trying to do something with vaporwave, push it somewhere or take it out of wherever it is, whatever the fuck he's trying I'm not entirely sure. He's got ambition with his label, but all this hardvapour shit is mad gay and while I don't hate his intentions, the forced "this is the future m8 it's new sound" half-ironic bullshit just seems like oceangrunge all over again. But I've only listened to like 20 seconds of EoWR so I'm not the most qualified to speak on that.
I still love 2814 although I haven't really listened to his solo stuff, but the dude needs to release >>61355098 on cassette already because it's easily my favorite anything out on DC.
AH YES, THE SELF PROMOTION THREAD, LET ME JUST FETCH MY COPYPASTA AND LINKS
>>61356485
I don't notice any drop in quality, with that said i only use this method when i can't find any dl links on blogs or whatever
>>61356485
it rips at stream quality ie.128kbps, so yeah it's practically useless
>>61356579
EoWR was gash
>>61356285
Nice color scheme. Will you be adding more to it?
>>61354987
He's a viralling faggot and his music is terrible. He actually believes he's a "creator" of vaporwave:
https://www.change.org/p/reddit-reinstate-cocainejesus-to-r-vaporwave
>>61356731
Yes, he made this
>>61356731
>one of the original creators of vaporwave along with HKE and Vektroid
>H KE started this petition
Fuckin' LOL
Yung Lean
>>61356410
Surely there's better options, but I'm on my phone so I can't be bothered researching.
For youtube and dailymotion I can compile a playlist and extract the audio with no loss (apart from any upload compression obviously) in two clicks with 4KVideo Downloader
>>61356285
lold at the aesthetic and microgenre sub-boards
>>61356858
I only ever use this when bandcamp is the only place where the album is available
>>61356980
I think that if you paste the bandcamp link into JDownloader it rips every song from the site in its streaming quality. I haven't tried it in a while though.
>>61354987
I like his music but don't even want to touch his antics.
>>61356285
It's me again.
What would you guys like to see that would make you use this forum? Ideas for categories, etc?

>>61357599
In some interview he talks about how he would go "mainstream" (sellout) if the opportunity should present itself to him
>>61357599
At least it wasn't done out of greed. It's actually a step to try to make Dream Catalogue a legitimate independent label. The only real change is that it's harder to listen to their shit offline.

He's a pretentious shithead, i'll admit. Also he types for way, way too fucking long: https://www.reddit.com/r/Vaporwave/comments/3ylc4i/xpost_from_rvaporwavepolitics_clearing_up_further/
>>61357735
I'm sitting here with like 35 vinyl copies of yeezus in front of me, yes I am totally HKE
>>61357772
That's because he's fucking gish galloping in efforts to defend his retarded ways.
>>61357772
I appreciate how dedicated HKE is to the artists on his label, but I don't think I care about vaporwave scene drama enough to read all that shit.
>>61347676
I can confirm. Atmospheres 1,2 and three are must hear Vaporwave albums.
>>61357830
Wouldn't you?
>>61357844
It's not worth it.
>>61351765
yeah DG's is noooottt Vaporwave at all. It's 'angry hobo rap'.

>>61354164
incredible cover art. Can't into music though.

No one should. It's nothing more than desperation at that point. And like you said, he is a pretentious shit head.
>hehe im put sekret messages in album dat criticises vaepurwave bekuz i wanna hamfist you into lizening to it since id's so controvershial XDDD
>But essentially for a brief summary, the album deals with the eternal cycle of death and rebirth, a concept that you will find hidden inside a lot of my work. It's a mindset in how I approach life in general, which I went into a bit with my interview with Marcel, so it effects both my music, the label and my personal life as a whole. This way of thinking is an obvious contradiction to the tongue-in-cheek title of the album, because how can anything die forever as the title suggests? It then asks the question, is vaporwave dead, or did it never actually exist in the first place?
Literally Jaden Smith tier shit.
>>61354266
Daniel Lopiatin samples this song in eccojams i think. Idk maybe it's one of his other albums, but he does sample this song. I kind of laughed when I first heard it.
