Ha! Reposting This, There are different sub genres of Vaporwave. Personally, I've been jamming of this Taspo release all year: http://dreamcatalogue.bandcamp.com/album/long-life 18carat affair, Vector Graphics, St Pepsi, and Bloodwave are some of my favorites.. classics IMO The Dream Catalogue has had a good run this year. I interested in seeing where their sub label Nivana Port leads to. I do find this off topic though, unless the genre starts getting more IDM like. Any thoughts on the artist Sandtimer?
