Saint Pepsi
Hit Vibes

Holy, Holiest Pepsi Cola. Pepsi is always better than Coke and Coke is just for the rich folks. Did you enjoy Daft Punk's Random Access Memory? NO? Neither did I, in fact, I can even say that they missed the mark completely, and with great effort too, right out of the bathroom and directly into the hallway.

Saint Pepsi who is he? He's the luckiest in the Vaporwave scene (perhaps second only to OPN). If you put on this album and compare it to, say: Vektroid, Midnight Television, Machintosh Plus, Blank Banshee, and Chuck Person, what do you find in common? Little to nothing, at least, with this album.

Future Funk, Synth Funk, Nu Disco, are all fitting and appropriate labels for this 2013 release. The Samples, as is tradition in vaporwave, are quite extensive, leaving little room for studio work (I admit that the little that is added is well-integrated) and focusing entirely on sophistication.

I'm surprised by the brevity of my review, I'll try (without succeeding) to extend it with some nice Trivia:

- another alias of his is: Skylar Spence

- Hit Vibes was recently re-released by Carpark Records

- the guy was born in 1993

Unlike this new genre called Bubblegum Bass (think QT and SOPHIE), Vaporwave is aging quite well and I would have never imagined it. It has its well-recognized imagery, and within it are valid artists who haven't ridiculed the extremism of the non-musician of Eniana's memory, and indeed, are adding value to a movement that many consider already dead. For Bubblegum Bass, I'd worry that people like Nicky Minaj have taken an interest in it, as there will be a dismemberment and an assimilation in a carnivorous plant style.

Question: In one of her pieces from the latest album, did Beyonce draw inspiration from Vaporwave, which one? Is it good or bad for you?
