As we move into a new season, we've updated our Contemporary Vaporwave playlist with fresh track from the past two months! Lots of great vaporbreaks, slushwave, ambient, Barber Beats, and of course classic vapor from lots of beloved names in the scene. Check it out:

Yeah I've really dropped the ball this year by not doing any episodes. It's been pretty hectic with getting married and working enough to afford life but I'm trying to get back on the horse! I really appreciate people mentioning the podcast and asking about it!

The recent victory that Portland, Maine activists won against LiveNation is huge—but not without precedent, as it follows the Chicago Independent Venue League’s successful fight. Understanding this history is important, because there’s so much that can be learned. pitchfork.com/news/chicago...

I know I haven’t done a good job at keeping up the website and podcast this year but I have kept up the playlists of new music over on Spotify. All music from 2024 has finally been purged off Fresh Future Funk and a ton of awesome tracks from Summer 2025 and the past month have been added 🎸🎶

Copies of INTERNET CLUB (@cyberia-mix.bsky.social) - VANISHING VISION are now available on the site!

We've gone all out on this one. Extra panels, pad print, some bonus doodads that make the tape look fancier, we wanted to make this one special.

“These platforms aim to control behavior with their algorithms…

Social media apps are now run as isolated bunkers, and the owners do everything possible to prevent users from leaving—so crossover from one platform to another is discouraged at every turn..”
