p.s. do you guys think rdj and james ferraro know each other or are fond of each other's work? i would love to see a collab b/t them in some fashion.

p.s. here's one of the trailers for his new album "Human Story 3": is it me or are you guys also getting mad far side virtual vibes from this?? esp @ :04 - :16 makes me happy. Im totally going to pretend that Human Story 3 is the 3rd part of a series starting with Condo Pets, then FSV, now this... new ferraro, new aphex, new 2814, new banshee possibly, man 2k16 is going to finish out incredibly

First track off the new James Ferraro LP released! http://www.tinymixtapes.com/chocolate-grinder/listen-james-ferraro-ten-songs-humanity

^ i havent heard this til now. holy shiiiit this is good! so relaxing and simple and chill and yet magical and deep. edit: just made it to the end of the track. goddamn that was LUSH. i want more of this. i want the cheetah.

i know right? im getting antsy already haha

I have a feeling it's going to be really awesome. If you think about, he just put out Syro, which won awards, and was heralded as fantastic which it definitely is. Hopefully that gave him the assurance and release to now keep putting out more next level/weird/outside the box stuff, or shit maybe even more drukqs-style intensity which would be incredible. i can't lie though i've been dreaming of Ventolin EP/Remix EP type shit, or another On-style thing.... or of course Surfing on Sine Waves. I can't even imagine.

Guys, imagine its an aphex take on nu-disco or deep house. That would be so much fun!

My body is ready to pounced on by the AFX Cheetah. Holy shit Im so ready. This release looks/seems like its going to be super fun. That cover art is phenomenol--ive actually been dreaming about something weird and conceptual like this from rdj for so long now. Reminds me a bit of the Ventolin video in the way it showcases an imagined product. Also getting Mike & Rich vibes here... Im betting it's going to be ALL new material, and all either super funky, super weird, and/or super next level

More cookies. lol good call! i decided to stay on the super healthy pace after the cookie by hitting up some wendys :)

Just ate a cookie. Brainstorming lunch.. what should i have guys?

Thanks a lot friends, really appreciate it!

Noice 8) Thanks my friend, glad you're digging it!

I'm very excited about this, really have been trying hard not to post it before it came out, and here it is: Posted from my Facebook post: So guys, here it is.. This is crazy. Jazz Trumpeter Mac Gollehon (Bowie, Duran Duran, Blondie, Chic, etc) and his label got a hold of me, wanting an official remix for his new album... IN THE STYLE OF VAPORWAVE. So I took him on. No compromising... I gave him a classic vape meets latin late night lo-fi with dark muzak touches. All original production. Accepted. Album released today via True Groove Records out of NYC. The guy who played JAZZ trumpet all over the 80s / new wave super-hits that vaporwave is inspired by just went full-on vapor with the help of Donovan Hikaru's David Ben Jack alias. For anyone that said vapor is dead or dying is having the last laugh. Real shit y'all. Hope you enjoy! And would love to hear your thoughts!

just gonna place this right here... more effective than like 75% of the run of the mill vaporware I hear/seek out: Probably cuz it's completely intentionally vapid rather than ironically vapid, or post- post- or whatever: i just want to lay in a cold clinical yet comfortable lobby/waiting room for 4 hours straight while this plays through shitty speakers attached to the ceiling: Although I'm not typically into 70s library music, this stuff is just so dead on elevator, it hits the vibe so well.

ooh dayumm... I'm ready for this! Hot sounds right there... I love the quirkiness and slight eeriness of that first one. Great visuals too.

Haha that's crazy, sounds like those killer burgers and their pink juicy flesh transcended into visceral primordial visions of animal instinct, survival and hunt. lol makes me wanna be Indiana jones grilling up local chuck beef burgers out on the range awaiting an archeological dig to discover lost jewels.

Oh shit man, The WebTravel Channel aka deathofatelepath is incredible. Great conceptual muzak-ish material, and tons of it. I've been really excited as of late about SudSwap Audio Brewing label that I just discovered, who WebTravel has a release on.. Very interesting out the box stuff. Some of it glitchy IDM inspired vapor like JRPG Town by Lifebuilder or the UHALL album - should appeal to even the wider wattm crowd. https://sudswapaudiobrewing.bandcamp.com

Damn, yeah sorry to hear man. You must have been hyped to release on DC (lol it always feels like I'm talking about an epic DC Comics superhero production. It's funny, that acronym is very fitting, as Dream Catalogue is sort of the pulpy dark Superman/Batman of the vapor world. Bedlam Tapes should take care of you though, Oscob is a cool dude. :) Best of luck with the release, and excited for it come to come out! And thanks, I will definitely keep you guys posted on the future CRS material. I'd ideally love to get ver 4 pressed on vinyl as it already kinda has that tone. Man, if only I was stacked with cash.

this is a pretty sweet tune goddamn this is hitting the spot reminds me of when i was a kid living in okinawa, looking out the window as we drove home for being off-base Wow, thanks everyone.. I was giddy over it myself, so happy to finally share it. :)

^ Music video for the yet to be released track: Donovan Hikaru - Double Donovan (nano神社 (✪㉨✪ Remix) From upcoming Business Travel Bonanza Deluxe Edition Cassette/Digital via Adhesive Sounds coming soon.

I can't wait to show you guys the next Donovan CRS works (not 3.0 split coming soon with CatCorp (oh shit, wasn't supposed to leak that), but CRS 4.0 (and maybe 3.9).. Still have BTB Deluxe cassette coming May 23, so after that, is CRS 3, then finally the 3.9 / 4.0 adventure. It's basically all vinyl-sounding Bristol-style trip hop and lo-fi street hip hop instrumentals in a vapory / noir trip. I'm gonna totally re-brand (at least for the series - 3.9+). I think it can transcend the vapor thing into something in the Warp / XL Records vein - if that doesn't sound too pretentious- , while still being able to fit under the vapor arena, but ill probably make it contain no "vaporwave" tags. It's all really simple and minimal, but I'm trying hard at the moment to take aspects of it from kinda half bedroom/half legit-sounding lo fi to all out legit, vibey / analog / authentic... Succeeding so far, but it's going to take some time to tweak and simmer a bit, so I can't rush it even though I want to drop the "single" so badly haha .. i could also be in my own ridiculous world, and it could be just me and only me that's in love with it haha

This is incredible!

Thanks dude! (:

Thanks man, yeah this comp is dope! Kel from Adhesive Sounds' new label focused on Island - based vapor & related.. Really great packaging & concepts too. :)
