Fantasy. Temptation. Escape. Dreams are an unknown ancient realm that we move to and from every single day.Soft Replica's debut album "Only Ever In Dreams" is a synthesis of many styles: the hypnagogia of vaporwave, the everlasting echoes of dream-pop, and the blurred sonic blanket of shoegaze.

73.⛅ ...but i'm only human: transcendence bot by death's dynamic shroud
Let's start off by saying this album is a masterpiece. Death's Dynamic Shroud is a vaporwave trio made of Keith Rankin (aka Giant Claw), James Webster (HCMJ), and Tech Honors. However, this album is a solo album by Keith Rankin under the Death's Dynamic Shroud project."Transcendence Bot" is a masterful display of Keith's high-volume, intentional sampling style. The project concept evokes a range of experiences from post-humanist, to Dante's Inferno-esque angel aesthetic, to ethereal; all...

71.💋 the peril and pleasure of lust: macroblank's dungeon of lust
Lust is a sin that feigns its reward. In today's episode, we explore our first Macroblank album with their latest release "Dungeon of Lust." The album makes use pairing unlikely hard hitting samples from what appears to be medieval times and Hindustani music. The album is a subconscious foray exploring the emotions, psychology, and excitement of committing the one deadly, but exciting, sin.Let's sail for Macorblank's Dungeon of Lust.

70. a lonely, polygonal existence: 98 waves by space magic
Every now and then, we enjoy going back to "old" vaporwave albums to live in ambiance of that time.Space Magic is a vaporwave artist from the golden era of vaporwave (in our opinion, 2011-2015). His album 98 'Waves is a collection of nostalgic spaces from various locales, both physical and digital, fashioning a nostalgia that can only be as focused and immersive as it is in the vaporwave space.This album brought some very specific vivid memories, and we enjoyed how it lulled us into them. We ...

69. 🧙‍♀️ dungeons, dragons, and synthesis: mages by color theory

67. a scholarly safari to a better time: pangeapedia plus by daniel white (hypnagogic episode)
When the internet came to the world, the world became much smaller. The power to gain information through technology gave many optimism for the future. If you were in elementary school school in the late 90s and the early 2000s, chances are you've experienced learning through software. Pangeapedia Plus by Daniel White takes the sound of what appears to be 90s educational software and takes us back to the optimism that pervaded the earlier parts of the information age. While we ...

65. the fantasy of a picturesque flight: breakfast on the runway by bronster bridge (chillwave episode)
What does a perfect morning at an airport feel like? To those who are unaccustomed to travel, it sounds like an strange idea, and to those who are accustomed to travel, it's a straight up absurd idea. The airport is a space that has undergone some strange moments in the past year, and Russian vaporwave artist Bronston Bridge channels that wanderlust fantasy into a beautifully composed chillwave album. Using beautiful synthesizer compositions, this record transports you to headspace...
