Second Place: DATAGIRL - Uh Oh
Third Place: MOX - Ｓｏ？（片思い）
Fourth Place: S.a.x - Night View

What a crazy lineup this compilation has, so hard to pick what to listen first from so many bangers. One of my favorite cassette to listen too, different styles under the vaporwave umbrella all in this album. Such a well put together compilation, such a hard thing to pick favorites on such a grandeur like this.

V//Tomo a fine collection of artists to watch. no losers here, only winners but I ain't afraid to say I've got a fav and MOX's S o? hits the spot today, sooooo good! Favorite track: 15 MOX - Ｓｏ？（片思い）.

Telenights This is an amazing collection of music from fellow vapor artists! Can't really pick a favorite, haha.

Shared Systems 有限 An absolute monster of a compilation! full of amazing emerging artists and their excellent work. it's simply a bonus that I'm on the damn thing too! :D

It's impossible to pick a favourite. you are all rad.

about

2020 reflection From the Wizard
Vaporwave continues to be one of the most divergent fields in the musical landscape. Unfettered by most monetary barriers of entry and traditional methods of distribution, vaporwave is a genre that births hundreds of new highly proficient artists each year.

While this profundity in itself signals a continual renaissance of talent it creates a unique problem for longtime listeners of the genre who wish to remain engaged in both the old and the new.

That is where this guide comes in. Our goal with the release of this tape is to acknowledge the emerging artists this year that we believe to be future favorites worthy of your time. This collection hopefully sheds light on those who are putting in the work to develop our concept of what vaporwave is capable of.

It is a simple affirmation that vaporwave alive and there are dozens of new artists are out here killing it...

...hmm. poor choice of verbage,, but you get the idea. Enjoy- Wiz
