Episode 58: Device Operator

"Hot Takes" episode 58 was focused on multifaceted vaporwave up-and-comer Device Operator! Following a pattern of working closely with Pacific Plaza Records and affiliated acts, we managed to dodge an episode delay and coordinate our schedules so that we could sit down for an evening with our friend. Known for their work with Business Casual and Pacific Plaza Records, their affiliation with Luxury Noise's Coast to Coast Collective, and their recent "Kiwi Pop" album of future funk heaters; Device's time he spent with us was definitely not enough, as we learned his backstory and took live audience submitted queries as well. We conversed about his journey to the vaporwave scene and the local scene where he is in Baton Rouge. Shiro and Device Operator vibed on their shared love of Trademarks & Copyrights. Lots of chats about DAWs, hardware, dubstep, mashups, and a whole lot of love for Shannon may have also come up during the conversation. And there were tons of other great moments throughout our evening with Device Operator as well, so don't miss a moment of it: hit that play button!   "Hot Takes" is a safe space for all opinions!
