Where my Chillwave/Vaporwave nikkas at?

[Brock Landers]

This was always something else before it became this.

Like how EDM was blog house in the myspace era....then techno and house before that. This wqs always something before that and I just like to see the progression.

But for me being a DJ im already watching certain things in its infancy just to see where it goes and to keep my finger on the pulse of things and in order to stay relevant and in touch with whats going on in temrs of the current artistic and musical/visual output in relationship to/a reflection of the modern visual landscape.

You're spot on breh, everything is a slow progression outwards from the times of Giorgio Moroder/Kraftwerk. I don't keep up with it as much as I used to but there is literally so much dope undiscovered music out there...finding that special track/album still gets me feeling a certain way I am really interested to see how this and other genres evolve in the future.

I'll share a song with you guys that has made a real impact in my life, first time I heard this I damn near had an out-of-body experience. Not exactly vaporwave/chillwave but goes into the futuresynth genre I mentioned earlier

These tracks were inspired by old flash and video games I used to play in the early 2000's

When I was younger my Dad would always take me with him to pick up dinner at night, he'd play this all the time

Makes me nostalgic as hell, I still see the neon signs light up and feel the car's cold A/C at full blast, everything looked blue and purple tinted when it came on

 

[CBSkyline]

Widely regarded as the birth of the genre.

You man need to check out MNDSGN's Body Wash. I dunno if this is exactly chillwave, but it is in a similar vein. Just put some nostalgic 80s/90s commercials underneath it and it goes

Didn't know anyone else would wanna hear slowed down 80s boogie and nu disco songs...but it became a genre...
