Question 03 / 09

What is the first vaporwave record?

Daniel Lopatin's Chuck Person's Eccojams Vol. 1 (2010) and James Ferraro's Far Side Virtual (2011) are the forerunners. Ramona Xavier — Vektroid — released Floral Shoppe under the alias Macintosh Plus in December 2011, and that is the record generally cited as crystallising both the classic sound and the classic look: the Greek Helios bust, the pink and teal palette, the Japanese title text.
