jeudi 2 avril 2026 • Durée 02:02:40

Vaporwave and outsider artist and musician 식료품groceries starred on episode ninety-seven of "Hot Takes", enlivening the evening with Luxury Elite and YUNG SHIRO 白 as they discussed numerous topics like the origin story behind the artist name and favorite video game soundtracks. On top of releasing genre-defining vaporwave albums such as "Yes! We're Open!", Jordan has released lo-fi house material as Null Object and runs the label Consumer Electronics as well; glitching and corrupting visual art on the side! They have also performed at a couple of noteworthy vaporwave events, like ElectroniCON and Flamingo Fest. We hope you are delighted about getting to hear the about 식료품groceries' favorite effects to use in music, living in South Korea, getting started creating glitch art with ROM corrupters, and so much more!

Episode 96: Ango

Saison 5 · Épisode 12

jeudi 12 mars 2026 • Durée 02:09:34

On "Hot Takes" episode 96, we landed a whopper of a guest: film/TV/video game composer Andrew Gordon MacPherson. A multimedia artist and disciple of several different A/V trades, Ango was one of Shiro's top choice guests, owing to a spate of neo-R&B releases he dropped in the early 2010's; and we had a delightful evening being regaled by his journey and getting exclusive insight into his creative process and artistic paradigm. Two hours together was truly insufficient for this entry, but we were able to rap about a number of topics during that time, like imposter syndrome, the emotional effect that music can have upon listeners, and Ango's experience performing alongside Caribou with the Red Bull Music Academy! If you like wild touring stories and deep insight into the creative process, definitely check out this episode, and keep it rolling if you feel like getting engaged with the content!

Episode 95: Fiji島の水

Saison 5 · Épisode 11

jeudi 26 février 2026 • Durée 02:02:16

Crystal Eternal, YUNG SHIRO 白, and our special guest of honor Fiji島の水 all starred in the latest episode of "Hot Takes" together! Up-and-coming artist, DJ, and community member, Fiji has a handful of audio/visual releases under her belt already, streams to Twitch regularly for her show Thursday Night Funkin', and has performed IRL in cities like Atlanta, Brooklyn, Columbus, and more. Two hours was nowhere near sufficient time to cover the numerous topics we wanted to cover with Fiji島の水, discussing everything from her favorite anime series to spinning vaporwave at open deck DJ nights and even the benefits and drawbacks of streaming services completely disappearing from the face of the earth. If you didn't hear it on "Hot Takes", it must not be real!

Episode 94: Roge Corp

Saison 5 · Épisode 10

jeudi 12 février 2026 • Durée 02:08:02

Roge Corp finally had his moment with us on the show for "Hot Takes" episode 94! Roge Corp, scene builder, community organizer, and show thrower, had his two hours of fame on "Hot Takes" with Luxury Elite and YUNG SHIRO 白, plying the duo with musings, best practices, and blazing hot opinions. Roge Corp is one of the best known and most loved curators in the scene, acting as leader of the isles of Eternal Chill, one half of VaporVA with V4NGOE, and member of the Arpwire TV team, as well as a member of our own mod team. We got to hear all about the makings of VaporVA, i2K, and i2K2 during our episode with Roge Corp. Roge told us all about his love of mac and cheese and opined about restaurants that he felt handled the dish well and of course venues that failed at it. Check out the episode for a deep dive into Roge Corp's nostalgic journey through 2000's video games and hard rock/nu metal bands at the very least. Don't miss this very special entry in the "Hot Takes" pantheon!

Episode 93: Brothertiger

Saison 5 · Épisode 9

vendredi 30 janvier 2026 • Durée 02:06:01

Roge Corp, YUNG SHIRO 白, and highly coveted special guest Brothertiger starred in the latest "Hot Takes" episode! A heavyweight composer and live performer from the early 2010 chillwave days, Brothertiger has continued to develop his sound and brand, playing shows for thousands, releasing seminal albums and EP's, and collaborating with numerous other skilled artists, including Fire-Toolz, Hotel Pools, and Underoath. Two hours of broadcasting time was nowhere near enough to get to know John, but we did get to cover topics like post-rock shows, the importance of song titles, and the adorable story behind his track "Mainsail"! You heard it on "Hot Takes", the vaporwave talk show!

Episode 92: Tom Vernon

Saison 5 · Épisode 8

mardi 13 janvier 2026 • Durée 02:06:11

For this installment of the show, we broadcasted with Tom Vernon! A lo-fi house artist that both Luxury Noise and YUNG SHIRO 白 have loved for years, Tom's humble, friendly affect and willingness to share his thoughts made him a perfect guest for "Hot Takes"; and we excitedly picked his brain about topics like hardware vs. software in production, binging artists' discographies, and Octopath Traveler. Starting his outsider house production while still in high school, Tom Vernon has since become a prominent name in the scene, releasing on reputable labels like Shall Not Fade, regularly appearing on lo-fi house Youtube mixes and Spotify playlists, and even playing live shows for crowds in VR chat. As an artist that Luxury Noise and Shiro both treasure, the time we got to spend with Tom Vernon went by rapidly, and we made the most of our time with him as we could! We held all chat submitted questions until the final half-hour of the episode runtime, discussing all manner of things, such as early 2010's deep house, field recordings in Japan, and staying alive while the music industry burns down. Tom gave us the 411 on his perfect show line-up, bad lo-fi house tropes, and In-N-Out Burger. Don't miss conversations about "rally house" music, echo and reverb in electronic music, and producing with all free plug-ins. If you weren't there for our visit with left field house producer Tom Vernon live, give it a listen, and be sure to join the public community Discord server and check out the latest Spotify playlists as well!

Episode 91: Botnit

Saison 5 · Épisode 7

vendredi 2 janvier 2026 • Durée 02:07:22

On "Hot Takes" this week, Shiro and Crystal found a way to get yet another seminal outrun synthwave act on the show for an evening of chatting! A prominent member of the early 2010's synthwave movement, Botnit released a series of albums and singles during that exciting and explosive era of independent net-based retro electronic music. We are always trying our best to bring on acts and artists from vaporwave-adjacent scenes like the outrun synthwave scene, and because Jim and Shiro go way back, it only made sense to try to tag him in for an episode! A composer of some of the most emotionally charged melodies from the 2010's retro electronic music movement, Jim pulled back the curtain and gave us some insider info about his usage of spoken words clips in his tracks. He told us all about his love of 2000's breaks, gave us the rundown on producing with Reason, and put us on some of his favorite current vaporwave acts, like Dusqk and Webinar. During the two hour episode, we talked at great length about the Tetris CD-i soundtrack, and he gave some sound advice to the viewers about how much work it takes to make one solid, memorable track. Botnit and Shiro bonded over their shared love of British maximalist artist Bobby Tank, he regaled us with the story of being contacted by FM-84 for a very special edit of a track for a Ready Player One staff party that Stephen Spielberg attended, and he told us all about his love of Ice Cube, NWA, and Public Enemy in high school. Check out the replay of our night with Botnit if you couldn't be there for the live broadcast!

Episode 90: Smoothbrain

Saison 5 · Épisode 6

samedi 20 décembre 2025 • Durée 02:05:01

For "Hot Takes" episode ninety, YUNG SHIRO 白 partnered with brand new co-host Shortstuf888 to bring on friend of the show and chiptune artist Smoothbrain, discussing all manner of topics during the evening, such as being vulnerable as an artist and producing tracks in Mario Paint. Aside from his Doctor Robotnik-esque look, Smoothbrain is known for traveling far and wide to support live vapor and for his recent tour in Japan with Sage Hardware. He also performed at MAGfest earlier this year and recently released a collection of chiptune tracks that he purportedly labored over for years before its release. Give the episode a watch for highlights like conversations about Christmas music and the origin of the Smoothbrain pseudonym; and don't miss Smoothie's eloquent thoughts on genres and painting oneself into a corner as an artist!

Episode 89: Frez Wave

Saison 5 · Épisode 5

vendredi 5 décembre 2025 • Durée 02:07:07

During this talk show episode, Frez Wave was our featured guest! Known primarily for their groggy, bitcrushed take on vaporwave and lo-fi house, Frez Wave was Roge Corp's number one pick for potential guests, and we had a delightful time joking around about gen Z brainrot and getting put on countless artists that inspire Frez Wave's style. Since having gotten involved with music production and the vaporwave scene five years ago, Frez Wave has released several albums, many via reputable labels such as Business Casual and 18 Carat Affair's own label Fiat LX. A true connoisseur of sound textures and effects with a hilarious sense of humor to boot, uncovering as much information about Frez and his thoughts was a joyous journey! We covered a lot of topics during our two hour stint together, including but not limited to experiences with 18 Carat Affair, describing one's music to someone on a date, and trickshotting on Call of Duty. Frez gave us the scoop on discovering vaporwave via Bronze56K and their production process with Garageband on their phone, and a small debate broke out over the work of Blank Banshee. Don't miss out on Roge Corp saying "Prefat Spout" instead of Prefab Sprout or Shiro's rant about Death's Dynamic Shroud's methods of sampling vocals.

Episode 88: Agnar

Saison 5 · Épisode 4

samedi 22 novembre 2025 • Durée 02:06:59

On "Hot Takes" episode 88 this week, Quiz and Shiro tagged Agnar in for the show at the eleventh hour! Eccentric, well-spoken, and making waves with their unique spin on experimental IDM music, Agnar was just a natural pick for the show; and picking them paid off in dividends as we were entertained by their thoughts on the similarities between vaporwave and prog rock, "new internet" music, and making cool things on the computer. Agnar has been producing leftfield and vaporwave-adjacent music for a while now, releasing on various labels like First Class Collective and playing live at events like Nostalgia Lounge's Sanctuary Live. They even got a write up in their local Billings, Montana paper about "challenging the concept that music needs to be correct". Known for their inclusivity, open-mindedness, and experimental nature, how could we not bring a person like Agnar on "Hot Takes"? We spent two hours chatting about topics ranging from microgenres like deconstructed club music and hyperpop, sampling AI music, and the deep meaning behind their album 4:3. Quiz taught us the concept of Lane Behr, Agnar recommended a favorite IDM documentary called "Modulations: Cinema of the Ear", and Shiro extolled his favorite video game OST's. Won't you give our episode with Agnar a listen if you weren't able to be there for it live?
