In this episode we finally deliver on our promise to rank the greatest Vaporwave albums of all time... We reveal our all-time classic albums in three categories: OG classics, Modern Classics, and leftfield/cult picks.

On the panel this week are Enzo, Thom, Fakeman and Roby Dyson - with contributions from Jornt (Catsystemcorp), Jay, Aldo (Groove Remote) and new FutureSounds member - Eric Hughes (Sly Vinyl).

We've also got a guest appearance from none other than Saint Pepsi, plus selections from FutureSounds listeners. We were inspired by a debate sparked on the r/Vaporwave subreddit, where it was argued that there hasn't been a true classic in years... listen in to find it why they're wrong.

Oh and don't be mad if your favourite didn't make the cut. We picked one album each and we couldn't go on forever.

We're back for a fourth series, with a rotated line-up of regular hosts that now includes Jornt (猫 シ Corp.) among its number.

In this episode we ask if Vaporwave has already produced its last true classic album; reflect on a Summer of IRL shows; give the latest news on the Nobody Here documentary; and tackle the tricky (/toxic) subject of Vapor-bootlegs...

Your hosts for the episode are Enzo, Thom, Groove Remote and Jornt - aka 猫 シ Corp.

In this episode Enzo talks to author and curator, Michael Brown - author of 'Buy Now', a deep-dive into Eyeliner's classic album; part of Bloomsbury's prestigious '33 1/13' collection.

Drawing on original interviews and the album's production archive, the book uses BUY NOW's story to investigate what it means to create, distribute, and consume independent music in an era of global networks and digital technology. It places the album in both the real-world and online contexts of Rowell's life and career, from early websites to the Spotify era, from Lower Hutt to the world.

We also talk to Michael about Vaporwave more broadly, and the wider internet culture that gave birth to the genre we love!

For the latest episode, Fakeman and Rob caught up with Adam and Joe, also known as the legendary 'Le Cassette'. 

The chat ranges from their perennial flirtation with live shows, the song-writing process, Hans MoleMan, Joe’s interior decorating... and of course their new single ‘I Should Have Loved You Better’. 

It's a privilege to chat to these guys, Synthwave OGs, and true to form it descends into the kind of chaos you'd expect in a peak 90s episode of Yo! MTV Raps...

Enjoy.

In Episode 4, Enzo, Thom & Martin sit down with Jay (Co-Founder of MPF, TimeSlave Recordings, and the shy half of Donor Lens) to revisit an amazing London show on March 26th.

'A New Dimension' was the first FutureSounds live show, featuring a stacked line-up of some of the finest acts in Synthwave, Vaporwave and Future Funk. Despite near "terminal" tech issues, the eclectic artists and an open-minded crowd welcomed back the live scene and potentially ushered in a new vibe for multi-genre events.

If you were there... relive the night with us. If you missed it, you'll feel like you were there!

Plus our new music picks of the week, Enzo's latest excuse for being late, and some guest appearances from people who were at FutureSounds.
