Episode 29: Syllabus

Hot Takes

Syllabus joined us this time around for our bi-weekly broadcast session! Longtime member of the classic vaporwave club, Syllabus' contributions to the movement and her resurgence in popularity made for a perfect guest on "Hot Takes", and we very much enjoyed getting her thoughts on everything from OG favorites like Lay Bac and Topaz Gang to famous auteurs like Nine Inch Nails; and of course we got her vote on the eternal My Bloody Valentine vs. Slowdive battle. Having gotten her start early on in the vaporwave movement, Syllabus has released on nearly every major vapor label, including Business Casual, Dream Catalogue, and Fortune 500 Records. As a tenured member of the scene, her input and opinions were a delight to be able to hear, so we picked her brain as much as we could! The live chat helped us keep the conversation flowing, bouncing around to and from topics like Syllabus' favorite mood music playlists, the evolution of source material used in vaporwave music over the years, and whether or not artists should evolve or continue to deliver the sounds that their fans know and love. Syllabus kept us entertained with her thoughts on constructive criticism, barber beats, and Shiro's old Tumblr page 天安门 Tiananmen Square Dance. If anything, listen in as she shouts out her favorite Vektroid release, discusses the Celebrate: Luxury release, and dialogues with Skelly and Shiro regarding the inflation and price gouging situation in Canada. Check it out if you weren't there live, and be sure to follow, repost, and tune in next time with a friend or two!
