On the "Hot Takes" vaporwave talk show this week, longtime vaporwave and vaportrap artist King Quartz agreed to come by for a session! Drawing from myriad influences and scenes, King Quartz brought a lot to the table, regaling us with their perspective on what they consider to be bad art, their thoughts on micro-genres, and their experience with roadside schnitzel and goulash while touring in Germany. Master of many different instruments both analog and digital, Quartz has played and performed in metal music, hip-hop, and vaporwave music too, releasing a couple of highly lauded album in the mid 2010's and recently returning to the live show and vapor dance party circuit! He has albums on Business Casual and Neoncity Records, and he boasts numerous side-projects as well, within and without the independent electronic music sphere. That night, we covered his dislike of Sugar Ray, his story behind writing his favorite song "Sad Cigarette", and the pipeline between instrumental hip-hop music and vaporwave. Come for a rare moment when Skelly and Shiro agree on every album Shiro recommends, and stay for the conversation about where the King Quartz pseudonym originates. How in the world did King Quartz learn to play accordion? You'll have to watch the episode to find out if he'll ever tell!
