And our very newest member is my friend and collaborator @ishiiburidai.bsky.social! I've been posting about him a lot lately since he keeps making amazing videos for me. But he also has started his music making journey and released his first album last week! Let's all say welcome to Ishii!

Huge thanks to Ishiiburidaii for bringing me in for this project and S u i t e B for organizing. Three unreleased signal-style tracks from 2024 that were just waiting for the right moment.

Which takes me to my last artist... Me! I'm not going to plug anything, just give a very heartfelt thank you to everyone involved with this festival. It's been extremely gratifying to make new friends, strengthen older friendships, and shine a light on so many deserving people. See you all soon!

That talk, and the set we made together, was the inciting event for me to envision this festival. Ishii pulled together a lot of cool clips that really match the music and I'm super excited for everyone to get deep and slow to end Saturday night.

Today's #VaporwaveAlive artist is Ishiiburidaii! He does amazing video work for lots of folks and is another urlfest mainstay. While watching Beats for a Broken World this summer, we connected over enjoying a dubstep set and started talking about a collab.
