Best of Vaporwave: A K A N E I N T O K I O // ALL TOGETHER VOL. 1 ゴールドエディション

A 2016 release from DMT Tapes FL  this is a fucking banger--one of the best future-funk albums of all. 

猫 シ Corp. & t e l e p a t h テレパシー能力者 // Ｂｌｕｅ Ｄｒｅａｍ (The Lost Album)

Holy shit! I have been looking for this for years. Dream Catalog had to delete this 2014 release after the usual copyright fuckshit, and it has since become  a classic and a rarity. Cat Systems Corp. has their half of the release on their bandcamp, where it can be had under the "buy discography" option, but as far as I know,      t e l e p a t h ' s half has been scrubbed from the internet, except for this Vapormemory upload.
I found thisw download while digging through the vaporwave archive. Enjoy! .  
This is for example only, not my link.

Vaporwave Classix VI: 18 CARAT AFFAIR // SOLID GOLD (2012)

Another outstanding 2012 release that I has been one of my top albums of 2017. This is a compilation album, which may be why it is so damn good. Looks like this guy was based in Kansas City Missouri, and active from 2009 to 2013. Who knows where he is now or what he's doing. Like so many artists of his generation, he appears to have...moved on.  This is classic vaporwave-future funk of the first generation. This album is listenable all the way through, and is an excellent adjunct to lovemaking with your favorite person and libations. There is a free download of this on the vaporwave archive.

Download: CHAM! by マクロスMACROSS 82-99

This is the real-deal vaporwave, a whole album of delicious, fully developed tracks spanning the spectrum of rhythms and  styles encompassed under 'vaporwave', from the glowing jazz of "Lost Without You" to the kawaii-house of "Miss Macross", the trap-hop of "Ash" to the future funk of "Sailor Team", my personal  favorite. So there is a lot of variety to the tracks, yet they are unmistakably vaporwave.  Several guest vocalists add immensely to the collection, most notably Diane Shroomy, and the unidentified vocalist on "Sailor Team".

This is music that will leave a big smile on your face, and it's a free download, so wtf are you waiting for?

Download: Luxury Elite WORLD CLASS

Luxury Elite's World Class may be her  strongest release to date. This album finds her  mining fresh funk from the ruins of '80s pop and delivering 14 tracks that cohere into a solid set. Also included are four interesting remixes that take the tracks in surprising directions. The first edition of 100 tapes, which contained a couple of 'tape-only' cuts,  sold out in like 2 days, but I am informed that another edition coming soon, so check with Crash Symbols. And  these plebs keep running around talkin' 'bout "vaporwave is dead"!

The digital download is free :)

DOWNLOAD: anothercountyheard's Psychedelic Ain't Trap Mixtape

The experience of listening to this music while tripping at the beach and the freshwater springs of the Florida panhandle is the inspiration for this mixtape. It's psychedelic, not in the nostalgic sense so often signified by that term, but in the best sense of the word -- music that mimics the effects of psychedelics, beautiful and blissful, but not without a touch of  poignancy. It hopefully captures the  spectrum of feelings experienced in that expanded state of awareness. The carefully selected tracks unite some of the very best early vaporwave with shoegaze and dreampop, in short it's pure anothercountyheard.
