  • Hello and Welcome to the Vaporwave News Network: A Bi-Weekly Podcast about the contemporary Vaporwave Scene. We feature News, Discussion and Current Trends as well as reporting on upcoming releases and events in the vaporwave, future funk and adjacent communities.

    This is Episode 4, covering the announcement and controversy around Electronicon 2023. This special stand-alone episode is an interview with the co-founder of the festival (and co-owner of the label 100% Electronica), George Clanton aka ESPRIT空想. We took questions via an anonymous submission form and condensed the nearly endless list of 140+ questions down to 25 questions which covered the main topics and specific details people were curious about. If your exact question was not asked, I am sorry- it already took hours to collate and research these questions and I am mentally exhausted. Some of the topics/questions are listed below but I do not recommend skipping around:

  • Hello and Welcome to the Vaporwave News Network: A Bi-Weekly Podcast about the contemporary Vaporwave Scene!

    We feature News, Discussion and Current Trends as well as reporting on upcoming releases and events in the vaporwave, future funk and adjacent communities.

    This short preview episode is a taste of what is to come and what we would like to cover with our new show. With this show, we are hoping to fill a niche in the scene that we feel has been missing- a show that’s covering the contemporary era of the vaporwave music and art movement. A show that strives to provide a wide variety of coverage in an easily digestible format. A show that acknowledges the history of the genre and makes connections between the past and current happenings in the vaporwave community.

    We have submission forms for members of the community to send us information on upcoming events, releases and to ask questions for our Q&A/Mailbag:
