A double stacked update of new #FutureFunk from the past two months! Includes artists like @fibre.music @imcyanblue.bsky.social @kouek.bsky.social @strawberrystation.bsky.social @corrout.bsky.social @yuniwaofficial.bsky.social @citrikkacid.bsky.social and more! open.spotify.com/playlist/3DS...

every diluted popularization of a CARI-derived aesthetic mode always has a little bit of vaporwave in it, for no good reason at all

There's a good video on the topic that trended for a bit which explains the process, how to identify it, and also how these channels have turned the whole thing into a grift where they're trying to evade moderation or criticism. www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1-7...

I don't know who needs to hear this, but all those "video game OST city pop/synthwave/jazz fusion remix album" you came across are AI slop. Some times you just gotta check their channels and tell yourself "no way this dude is composing hours worth of game covers in less than two weeks"

Thinking of the wonderful evening playing with Zach in Seattle on the last night of the west coast tour in 2018, arohanui Zach & family

the wave is wide and deep and 회사AUTO has returned to it; we will miss you on this side but your music and your memory are eternal. 🌊💙🌊

회사AUTO was one of the best to ever do it. It's safe to say that the eclectic world of vaporwave would not be the same without his presence. Rest in peace.

We love you, Hwaesa Auto

This has been really hard to digest. Today we learned of the passing of Zach Mason. A legend in vaporwave who went under the moniker, 회사AUTO. Zach was a truly kind soul and beautiful spirit, the kind you only come across once in a lifetime. You will be dearly missed. Rest In Peace, Zach/회사AUTO 🕊️

rest easy, buddy. @zaturnvalley.bsky.social

The 회사AUTO news is incredibly sad. His performance at FF was one easily one of the most moving and emotional of the whole night. These are some film photos from that night. ❤️

The album that introduced me to 회사AUTO was "Neon Beige" which was released in 2014(!) on Plastic Response. It was a double-length album with a diversity of concepts that felt a bit like a Vaporwave take on The Clash's "Sandinista". I had talked with him about possibly doing an LP release.

회사AUTO aka Tech Noir made so much great music, from classic vaporwave to boundary pushing compositions. Zach kept the fire burning for vaporwave since it’s earliest days and his influence will not be forgotten. RIP and condolences to his family and friends ❤️‍🩹

We just got word that 회사AUTO (Zach Mason) passed away this past week, I want to send out love and support to his family in this time of hardship. A pillar of the vaporwave community, he and his artistic voice will be missed dearly.

Spotify has purchased WhoSampled.com and will be integrating their data into the Spotify app. I doubt they will just use the data to give listeners more “information” and imitate the “Liner Notes” of physical media.. What do you think?? www.whosampled.com/news/2025/11...

I was listening to this Future Funk album recently boguscollective.bandcamp.com/album/timele...

christtt's soft rock has been an excellent addition to his discography; some old favourites of mine, such as SEAWRLDハートブレーク and Deep Fantasy, got revisits; World Class especially clicked with me harder than it already had, but I want to shout out this: geometriclullaby.bandcamp.com/track/remast...

An old one but I still revisit it occasionally.🌕 music.businesscasual.biz/album/i-am-t...

it's an old album, i like the track 3 especially, its hypnotic
