Corrupt Save – Ethernet Café

Robin Ono — Wed, 07 Sep 2022 15:00:49 +0000

Arizona-based producer Corrupt Save has kicked off September 2022 with what could very well be every Vaporwave year-end list-topper. Released via the unmatched Business Casual label, Ethernet Café is a saccharine sweet, glitchy slice of hypnagogic bliss, muzak for the place good files go when they’re emptied out of the bin. Fragments of eighties pop hooks are looped and repurposed in this digitally rendered no man’s land from which your senses cannot escape from, having lost all ties to its once human origins. Ethernet music is soul music for computers in a world where technology will have finally severed ties with its imperfect creators.

Favorite tracks : Homepage, Downtown, Lonely Heart

Smokey64 drops chipstalgic album ‘1994’

Hailing from Arizona, smokey64 is a fresh new name on the block whose first efforts are worth tuning into. From the infinite vastness of Bandcamp’s ever-expanding catalogue, his debut full-length 1994 has emerged, hooking us instantly with its nostalgia-drenched 8-bit chillwave compositions. Throughout the record’s 14 tracks, the producer has managed to distil the purest essence of melancholy that will tug at the heartstrings of any young adult having spent their childhood with a handheld Nintendo console. Bare-boned as the production may be, smokey64’s debut makes its case by the sheer effectiveness of its ideas and will keep you hooked until it’s time to reach for that replay button.
