Episode 34: Digital Sex

Our focus for the 34th episode of "Hot Takes" was senior vaporwave producer Dreaming Diary fka Digital Sex! Sebastian reached out to us about making an appearance on the show, and we rushed his scheduled episode due to our excitement over working with someone so tenured and multifaceted in the scene. Known for their work with Dream Catalogue, their vaporwave collaboration with OSCOB, and their recent work in the synthpop genre, the two hours we had with Dreaming Diary flew right by, as we enjoyed each others' company and the live viewers helped us pick their brain. Conversations were had about the growth and commercialization of vaporwave and the antagonists in the scene. A gleeful Shiro put Digital Sex through a couple rounds of marry fuck kill regarding shoegaze and vaporwave acts. Lots and lots reminiscing about the ElectroniCON 3 weekend transpired between the three, and an exposee on Dreaming Diary's songwriting process may or may not have also been covered during the episode. And there were countless other moments that haven't even been mentioned that were in this latest episode as well, so run up that play button!   "Hot Takes" is a safe space for all opinions!
