This mixtape is a collection of vaporwave edits I’ve made over the last 6 months. During the pandemic, I discovered Vaporwave while working from home. As an '80s kid, I was instantly hooked by the often repetitive, 'chopped-and-screwed' flips of obscure ‘80s and ‘90s songs, which left me nostalgic for that time while simultaneously reminding me of the DJ Screw tapes I used to collect back in college, especially when he would slip in random rock or '80s R&B songs. I also dug the weird Windows clipart aesthetic that shows up in so much of the artwork. This tape might be a departure from my usual, but I only make bangers.



If you'd like to hear more examples of Vaporwave and its subgenres, check out Nightwave Plaza (https://plaza.one/) It’s basically all I listen to anymore besides other DJs’ mixtapes.



The formula isn't rocket science and goes something like this: start with a clean audio file, slow it down until it sounds 'right', then experiment with different analog emulation plugins until it could pass for something from a Screw tape. Lastly, give the artwork a similar treatment, and you’re set. If you're new to DJ Screw and what I’m referencing, here’s a perfect example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6jKtTVtvdw
