creative_reality17 - A Midsummer Night's Dream (2018)

 


Artist: creative_reality17
Album: A Midsummer Night's Dream
Location: London, United Kingdom
Genres: Vaporwave, Downtempo, Trip Hop
Year Released: 2018
Date Re-found / Posted: 2023-08-18
Format(s) Released: Bandcamp

Explanation:

I have no idea who this is. What had happened was I saw a post on /r/vaporwave, months, maybe years ago about someone looking for this record. Some vaporwave e-celeb made a video where he shouted this record out for having good cover art. I checked the video, he just talks about its art without playing a sample and he overanalyzes the cover, finding messages where there clearly were not.

And at some point, this guy just vanished. Can't find any explanation as to why, there wasn't some standoff, guy just deleted his Bandcamp and dipped. I can hardly find anyone even discussing his disappearance excluding that one reddit post. I figure this occurred in 2020.

I had it saved, I’m sure of it. So when I finally found the record, I could not find the post to give it to him. Whatever. Maybe he found it and deleted it. Who knows, or cares?

However, to make things even more strange I have been unable to find that reddit post either. It was either removed by mods or the guy deleted it himself. I'm not making it up. I personally can't stand when artists don't use proper capitalization, and as such creative_reality17 is not someone whose music I would have considered listening to.

His music is survived by various p2p sites and a few labels which still have some select work up. According to RYM he had about 27 albums, the vast majority of which were on his Bandcamp exclusively.

The music itself is pretty good. No idea if it's sampled but it reminds me a lot of that 'warm glow sound' that YouTube had in the early 2010s (basically the music of Jake Chudnow). It was hypnotic and beat-driven, not really vaporwave all that much. Cover is nice though. I do agree with that YouTuber.

Reasons for Disappearance: Guy deleted his Bandcamp. There's no more information I have. Could've been copyright issues. Could've been stolen. Guy could've given up. Could've been covid since he did vanish in 2020. We don't know and probably will never know.

Chad Warden - Fructose (2014)

Artist: Chad Warden Album: Fructose Location: Austin, Texas Genres: Instrumental Hip Hop, Cloud Rap Year Released: 2014-11-01 Date Re-Found / Posted: 2023-09-08 Format(s) Released: Bandcamp Explanation: I'm not sure how I should start this. This isn't an easy post for me to write. I'll start off with how I know the artist. Chad Warden, more commonly known as Reverend JKN was a rapper and producer based out of Austin, Texas. I had first heard of him back in 2015 when he dropped Fringe. I saw it mentioned in a Reddit comment, checked it out and liked it. Didn't really much follow JKN after that. I added all his stuff to RYM of course, but never checked it out further. I like his rap stuff and aside from Fringe he didn't make any. He sort of slipped through the cracks in my radar. My second time listening to him was in 2020 when I was going through old artists I had added. Remembered he had his instrumental Chad Warden project and decided then would be a good time to l...

Knowself - Mind Controlled, Automaton Conformist, Ego Enslaved, Manipulated Materialistic Robot, Indoctrinated Pawn Fool World (2010)

Knowself is a Canadian emcee known for his extremely political and occasionally conspiratorial bars. He has a speedy and incredibly dense flow leading to his bars sounding like water shooting out of a fire hydrant, the listener trying to graps everything firing out.  Lyrics revolve around blunt political statements and incredibly ironic and occasional humourous lyrics. This can even be found in the track title with two songs being called 'Cyber Sludge, Mechanized Slaves, Social Engineering, Weather Modification and High Frequency' and 'Critical Like Alfred Korzybski' and another song called 'Cee!!!!!!! Takes a Long and Painful Crap'. This album in particular has some of Knowself's fasted rhymes. This album was previously distributed via CDBaby and became lost media when CDBaby shut its service down. Knowself has not been active since the mid-2010s so any chance of re-issuing this is slim to none. This was recorded back in 1999 but never saw release until 201...

With a cavalcade of albums across different aliases, the founder one of the largest vaporwave labels in history (DMT Tapes FL with over 1K releases out) to becoming one of the most accomplished and in my opinion one of the greatest vaporwave artists of all time. Before he had an epiphany and entered the vaporwave movement he was an electronic musician who blended slowcore, hypnagogic pop, the blogspot scene and more into these emotive and depressive releases. From about 2008 to 2012 he relased a bucnh of these records. The Island is one of them. It was a fusion of different styles with some tracks featuring Vito playing guitar and singing with reverb and stuff, some indi...
