bainesliufanacc Love this vintage, wavy album, every individual track has its unique tune, absolutely authentic. Favorite track: Cityscape View.

Xero The J Dilla of vaporwave. Concise, coherent, and another demonstration of high quality production and strenuous attention to detail. A dune buggy engine shouldn’t be this soothing. VANITAS really threw on some extra magic dust with that one.

about

2021 has continued to be a prolific year for the Belgian vaporwave producer known as VANITAS命死. Following his two releases on Business Casual and first release on Pacific Plaza in 2020, he has continued to release multiple projects in 2021 with his final release of the year marking his return to Pacific Plaza!

"Secret stereo™" finds VANITAS命死 venturing out of the world of high art and into the world of pre-internet working class nostalgia- sports, cars, stereos, cassettes and late night drives. The album opens with a monster of a track ("Immersive Listening Experience") that could only fit inside a stadium- all growling synths and smashing drums. In true vaporwave fashion, other tracks stretch samples into slick neon-night grooves ("Cityscape Views") or swirl into psychedelic jazz reverie ("Mitsubishi Starion").

VANITAS命死 pushes the boundaries of vaporwave's chopped-and-screwed aesthetic with his idiosyncratic drum programming, sample cut-ups and detailed audio effects processing. Snippets of familiar melodies and beats float in through the haze of warped keyboards and clanging percussion. Whether it's stuttering saxophones ("Secret Home Video System") or the bounce of a reggae riddim ("Dune Buggy Ride"), VANITAS命死 flexes his range as a producer on this new album.

Climb into the Mitsubishi Starion and press the gas... after the football match, were hitting the road for a night drive and we might not come back.. It's time to listen to the "Secret stereo™" 📻
