Episode 26: Vaperror

For "Hot Takes" this week, we invited Vaperror to join us! One of the very early players in the vaportrap movement, Jeff spent a couple hours chatting with Skelly and Shiro about early seminal bands he was involved in, secret sideprojects of his that haven't yet seen the light of day, and divulged some conceptual background info on the Vaperror project, while opining on the state of Georgia and our good friend George Clanton. Producing music, DJing, doing graphic design, and running Plus 100 Records, Vaperror is a man that seemingly never runs out of energy, involving and embedding himself in the scene in myriad ways, all with great aplomb. He played both ElectroniCON events, will be performing at both Terminally Chill events in Philadelphia and Sacramento, and has collaborated extensively with acts like Cocainejesus and Telepath テレパシー能力者. His album "Mana Pool" is a critically acclaimed release that consistently tops lists of all-time best vaportrap music. Over the course of our visit with Jeff, he discussed networking and promotion with us, let us in on some personal techniques and advice for other artists, and spent some time discussing various genres of music with Shiro. It wouldn't be an episode of "Hot Takes" without some technical difficulties, but you should check the episode out if you want to hear Jeff gush about his love of jazz and K pop. He may have given us some info on some upcoming plans with Plus 100 Records, and there may or may not have been a very special music video debut by another skilled vaporwave artist at the end of the episode. You don't want to miss out on "Hot Takes" episode 26!
