Presenting the fourth annual installment in our series of modern yacht rock summer mixtapes: this year's mix was loosely inspired and guided by Light in the Attic's absurdly dope Pacific Breeze compilation of late '70s and early '80s Japanese City Pop that dropped this spring, which the label says lands in some nebulous zone encompassing "easy listening with mutant exotica, tilted techno-pop,

Luxury Elite is my vaporwave friend who is also from KY and she makes very smooth jams. You can also check out her most recent release, “101.7 Wave II” out on River Girls. “Billboard” makes me want to be James Rockford, LA’s slickest PI from “The Rockford Files.” -- Ellie Herring

Melbourne, Australia not-vaporwave electronic producer Surfing follows up his stellar Deep Fantasy vinyl reissue with new EP Chrome. Listen to "Real", a hypnotic, house-y collab with LA Vampires, below + download the whole EP here:

Our friends at 100% Electronica are reissuing Deep Fantasy, the 2012 record from Melbourne, Australia artist Surfing, releasing the cult favorite for the first time ever on vinyl. If pressed to categorize this thing, we'd file the record under vaguely psychedelic lite-funk/dream-pop, or the dreaded (not by us, but you know) "chillwave/hypnogogic pop" tag...

Vaporwave OGs Nmesh and Telepath explore the dankest/thickest tropical vibes on their epic "2-hour conceptual split album" The Path To Lost Eden, out today on (almost sold-out) cassette via Dream Catalogue. Listen to Nmesh's alternately eerie and soothing "アンチ技術のマジェスティックビューティー", which definitely would have been an incredible addition to our Halloween mixtape, and a very tight

Of all the wonderful new music that Skylar Spence introduced us to during his site takeover on Friday (there was a lot), George Clanton and his brilliant new record 100% Electronica stood out as our absolute favorite. Clanton (fka Mirror Kisses, and also the man responsible for the most meta vaporwave track of all time as ESPRIT 空想; he says this album finds his two previous projects "transmu

Prom King is out later this week (September 18 on Carpark), and to celebrate, we have the man formerly known as Saint Pepsi taking over the site on the day of the album's release. Come chill with him all day on Friday, and in the meantime, you can listen to the new record below:

Get lost in the hazy, rainy nightbus vibes of the latest release on LA's Not Not Fun label, 2 8 1 4's Atarashī Ni~Tsu no Tanjō. The record is a collaborative effort between vaporware OGs telepath + Hong Kong Express, who've created a darkly beautiful and dystopian ambient cinescape in a similar (albeit considerably floatier) vein as another NNF classic that still gets regular play around here, Sa
