Join us as we discuss 13 albums that cover everything from classic vaporwave to dungeon synth ambient to improvisational jazz and hip hop.The first machine by Infinity Frequencies

The Film
In this episode, we’re tossing the new music format out the Part 4444 2x5x6 Wall with Window so we can focus entirely on Lego Castle (1979-1998) by Dreamcastle™. This phenomenally ambitious concept album/experimental film explores childhood and nostalgia through the lens of Legos, video games, and imagination. A genre-melding experience, covering everything from dungeon synth to vaporwave to video game music and synthwave, it is a wild journey that is best viewed as a film on YouTube. Join us and check out this amazing piece of art!Lego Castle: 1979-1998

In this episode, we delve into the Satanic Panic, which was the primo moral panic of the 1980s and 90s. Specifically, we’re looking at the Satanic Panic series of albums by Vacation Bible School. This series of five albums, like much of VBS’s work, navigates the conflicting emotions brought about by being raised as an Evangelical Christian in America’s hyper-consumerist society. Join us as we unpack the layers of nostalgia, fear, and critique embedded in these evocative soundscapes.satan's disco boogie from Revenge of the Satanic Panic! by Vacation Bible School

In this episode, we’re exploring the music of The Nightcrawlers, a trio from Philadelphia who produced over 30 cassettes of amazing cosmic and ambient synth during the 80s. We talk about one of these cassettes and then cover their more recent 2018 compilation. Their music is phenomenal so we want to say thank you to the YouTube algorithm for incepting Ross.

In this episode, we’re exploring albums and artists that blend dungeon synth with other genres of EDM such as house, dubstep, drum and bass, and breakcore. We talk about what it means to blend such potentially disparate genres and highlight a handful of albums that explore this concept.
We would love to hear if you have other examples of this blending of genres so please hit us up with recommendations!
