Episode 50: Luxury Noise

Hot Takes

We broadcasted with Luxury Noise for this installment of the show! Longtime friend and supporter of the show, Paul's camaraderie, taste in art, outspoken nature, and experience in the industry made him a picture perfect candidate for a "Hot Takes" guest, and we relished the chance to get his take on everything from production techniques to ElectroniCON 3's food truck situation to Roseanne and Webster. Having gotten his start in the vaporwave movement during the pandemic lockdown era, Luxury Noise has since become a force to be reckoned with, contributing heavily to the Coast to Coast Collective's releases and livestream events, performing at various live parties like Club Genki, and melding genres like breaks and house with vapor soundfonts. As a personal friend of both Skelly and Shiro with great taste in art and music, the two hours with Luxury Noise flew right by, and we made the most of them that we could! We held our chat submitted questions until the second hour, covering a range of topics such as his favorite all-time albums, his favorite Coast to Coast livestream, and memorable moments during his time touring with indie rock band Of Montreal. Paul intimated to us his thoughts on genre hyper-categorization, recording TV and radio shows manually as a child, and the origin of his nickname "Lonely Paul". Don't forget the Chillwavekittens love, the "bad love poetry" line, and of course Luxury Noise teasing his upcoming new release via Pacific Plaza Records.
