LUXURY ELITE – ‘101.7 WAVE II’
luxury elite is a Vaporwave project from Kentucky, who has produced some of my favourite sounds the genre has to offer. ‘101.7 WAVE II’ is late-night lo-fi Vaporwave apotheosised. A blissful yet melancholy drive through the nostalgia field, languorous saxophones and electronic bass line lubrication, twinkling shimmer beats and slowed chopped n screwed vocal arrangements, soft pastel sunshine, mid 90’s infomercials and advertisements, smooth jazz and consumerist culture cuts. Each short track combines to create a sense of FM station hopping throughout the running time. The music is extremely well selected, sitting between true incidental Muzak consumerist commentary and silken Jazz/Funk grooves to nod your head to in your sun lounger. Vaporous and romantic, sarcastic and earnest, luxury elitle perfectly surmises a whole (internet)genre here. A work of excellence from a master of her craft. Wavy as fu(n)k.
