Floral Shoppe. The album that inspired a generation of Bandcamp producers and single-handedly shot vaporwave into the limelight.



It's been 10 years since then, and a lot has changed in the vaporwave scene. New subgenres have emerged and evaporated, dreampunk, hardvapour, slushwave... But we still come together to celebrate one of the things that brought us together in the first place.



This compilation contains a lot of remixes by various different artists, from skilled producers using professional software to people just starting out with Audacity. The quality varies wildly; although that is intentional. I intend for this compilation to be a showcase of the vaporwave community as a whole. That includes the audacity producers, the "vaporkids", whoever. I did not reject a single submission here on the basis of quality, as that doesn't really matter to me. Every track has meaning, even the bad ones.



So I hope you'll enjoy this.

Ø [Phase] launches his Modwerks label with his third studio album, Before This.

The sophomore offering by Moscow illusionist Ilya Ryazantcev aka Iguana Moonlight centers on a lost shaman's soul transmuted into a mythical jaguar lurking in the Amazonian unknown. As with his 2017 desert island debut, Wild Palms, the music acts as both score and summoning, remote dreaming a gradient of sights, sounds, and smells via synthesizers and field recordings.



The six songs of JAGUAR waver at the threshold of fantasy and hallucination, saturated and surreal, awash in colors not found in nature. It's a virtual reality jungle of smeared neon, steel drums, and deep bass, hyperreal fauna floating in fluorescent mist. Purist portal music at its most potent, born of and for black mirror séances past and present.

The hypnotica transmissions of Jungle Gym exec Caleb Draves encompass every terrain and trance-state, from equatorial drone to aquatic miasma to stardust murmur, coaxed from fluctuating wooden floor gear assemblages: software, FX, keys, miked ephemera. Earth Mirage collects 11 of his most recent and revelatory rippling ecosystems to paint an expansive panorama of the Dravier dimension, high and low and longform, alternately windswept, psychic, and subterranean. Elements of gamelan, hand percussion, synthesizer, rainstick, and field recording ebb and echo and decay in opaque symmetries, like tarot symbols scrawled in smoke on cave walls.



A limited selection of these tracks appeared previously on Jungle Gym or its sister division Tourist, but in altered form; the rest are fresh additions to Draves' deepening discography. Totaling a full hour, this is as close to a definitive work as the project has yet ventured, a gallery of masks and mirages, for earths both future and forgotten.

In 2020, my life style changed and increased staying at home.

That is why the reduction of stress brought about mental health and led to an increase in feelings.



However, staying at home for a long period of time encouraged an increase in eating sweets and carbonated juices, and staying up late with TV and internet, which not only made my body bloated, but also made my silly fantasies and illusions bloated.



I named it "Soda Sickness".

These are my or someone else's five stories.



Five stories have five flavors.

It has chill, vapor wave, electronic, fusion, emo, rock and many other flavors.



Please enjoy various tastes.
