Recontextualizing the past, for the future. Your favorite internet music & vaporwave podcast! Exploring internet music and art culture through the lens of vaporwave, plunderphonics, chopped & screwed, eccojams, city pop, future funk, 80s/90s, disco, and more.
On today's episode we sit down with the owner and creator of the vaporwave / electronic music magazine, Liam Murphy from "listen corp". Kick back with us while we explore what it takes to create a full on vaporwave magazine and website. We discuss how Liam got started with the mag, the journey of growth, and what the importance of the magazine is in these underground and sub culture music communities. From Frutiger Aero to Nightcore, and PC Music to Dreamtone, we cover a host of unique and interesting material. We also discuss Indy's old magazine, Private Suite Magazine, and journalistic integrity, credibility, and authenticness.
