Episode 23: Hotel Pools
from Hot Takes Hosted by hottakesvapor
For the sophomore episode of "Hot Takes" season 2, we got Hotel Pools to join the broadcast! Ben Braun, the mastermind behind Billboard charting chillsynth act Hotel Pools, crashes "Hot Takes" with Skelly and Shiro for 2+ hours of crazy stories, intimate insight, and back-and-forth with the bois and the live audience in chat. Hotel Pools is one of the more well known and successful acts in the popular chillsynth subgenre, which builds upon the gentler analog sounds often used in synthwave and chillwave music. Helping launch independent electronic music label Stratford Ct into a higher echelon of success and popularity, Mr. Braun's albums, EP's, and singles have enjoyed an astonishing level of acclaim and renown. In today's episode, we get to hear so much insight into the ins and outs of his experience with big music business during his days writing and performing as Mackintosh Braun. We get to hear Skelly rake Shiro across the coals for not being a fan of Daft Punk. You've got to at least rewatch for Hotel Pools' wild stories about Lady Gaga and Daryl Hall from Hall & Oates on this episode of "Hot Takes" "That's a hooooot take!" "Hot Takes" is a safe space for all opinions! Join the conversation at https://linktr.ee/hottakesvapor
