RIP D'Angelo. This song/video definitely changed me a little bit as a kid. His career is a great example of quality over quantity.

I do want to take a moment here to make a little appeal to folks in the scene. There are a lot of people making music, posting it here and there, and it can be hard to keep up. But there's so much good music waiting to be heard, artists waiting to be appreciated. It's not hard to take a...

Stop, Look, Listen is making extremely cool psychedelic plunderphonic music and videos pulling from the music of the 60s and 70s. This one is a little outside the normal vaporsphere but frankly I've been rocking along to these jams for the last month now and I want everyone else to as well.

Today's #VaporwaveAlive artists are two awesome people I connected with through r/vaporwave who aren't on Bsky. The first is Toys From Taiwan, who's been jamming away with his toys for years now and producing very tasty sample-free vaporjams. We got a great live set from him just like this one:

After I uploaded this song last month I realized I kind of fucked up the mixing on it. So here's the new and improved version that sounds better!

Why I Cry (Christtt-V@PYD Time Slip)

Updated 10/13/25! This is my mashup of two great vaporwave songs from late summer 2025 that I thought fit well together.

Today's #VaporwaveAlive duo is @bortmedia.bsky.social and E Z R A ゴーバー! These two teamed up for a very excellent and spooky set for the festival. E Z R A ゴーバー served up some tracks from recent albums, which there are a lot of! I really like all the themed albums Ezra does, including this banger.

BORT is quickly becoming the resident dj of the current vaporwave scene and we really appreciate that he came in to work with Ezra! This awesome mix just came out this morning and gives a little bit of a tease to what you'll see at the festival. I dare say you'll find it... thrilling?

Today's #VaporwaveAlive artists are none other than WVSQD! 🌊🌊🌊🌊 @crispydoodles.bsky.social is the only one on here but that just makes them more mysterious! I'm very excited that we got an extra-long group set from them as the highlight of Day 1.

And don't forget this great 10-year anniversary tribute to @luxuryelite.bsky.social, a very important figure to the formation of WVSQD. We've just been so appreciative and excited to connect with them and we really share an nterest in collaborating and celebrating vaporwave into the future!

Or there's this great album from WVSQD member (and fellow Seattle-area homie) [carteBlanche] that exemplifies the vaporfunk sounds that originally brought them together.

They're all so prolific that it's hard to pick out things to share, so I'll just go with what's most recent. Nothing puts a shine on like the full WVSQD visual treatment, as seen here with the recent Lost Secrets collaborative album with @losttraveler.bsky.social and @notorioussecret.bsky.social
