Quittiie Nostgin's debut album was my first contact with the whole Vaporwave thing and I was immediately drawn into it. The sound is funky, nostalgic an chill. I love it. Hopefully Nikke Adde Goppe Shoppe will not be the last excursion into the Vaporworld for Nostalgin. Until then, I'm sure I'll have a lot of fun with this album. Favorite track: s o m a n y c h o i c e s.

Our first – and only, so far – vaporwave release (confirmed by the one and only George Clanton), Nostalgin’s shopping-mall-inspired Nikke Adde Goppe Shoppe finally on tape!

Dark pink cassette with a pearly purple hand-lettering, signed by the artist themselves.

Each copy was real-time recorded directly from analog master played on a fabled Marantz deck to a warm and beloved old Nakamichi deck. Every single copy is unique and has desired little artefacts like warble, flutter or wow, making your cassette a hearty lo-fi original.

about

Nikke Adde Goppe Shoppe, debut album by our new labelmate, Nostalgin, is the first part of our new series, called Guilty Measures.

Guilty Measures as a reason and way of creation as well as an internal manifest of the same name, begun forming itself in the spring of 2019. A group of musicians who first met at a jam session in the dorms of the jazz conservatory in the late 90's, had a get-together. In a pub. They drank beer, talked and reminisced the good old times.

Not surprisingly they found out they shared similar experience. Music, the most important aspect of their lives almost twenty years ago, had been creepingly losing against work, obligations, life itself. For people who didn't value music so much at the first place it became just an unnecessary background noise no matter whether a real person composed it or it was generated by a machine. Some of the greatest musicians who used to make money as session players started teaching or playing at demeaning corporate parties just to survive. Music taste of the general public was the worst ever. Everyone felt tired, disappointed, burnt out and useless.

When Binaural Space (a.k.a. Yours Truly) mentioned his recent involvement with ambient music community that gave him new joy, inspiration and hope, they first booed him. But the first seed got planted nevertheless.

More beer-drinking get-togethers happened. All the friends talked a little, thought a little and finally not exactly a plan, but at least a direction was set: What about making other genres of music then they were used to, maybe even the disrespected ones, anonimously and thus freely, without any agenda nor goals except for the only one: to ignite the spark that used to be there before?

Individual ideas started to occur in the form of genre suggestions. "I really hate brass music," one of us said. "Then you should try making it right," someone else suggested. "I never got reggae, it all sounds like one song,” another guy offered. “I don’t hate it, but I loved what The Police did with it," someone else answered. "Hip hop!" "So do it your way!" "Metal!" "Remember how you used to keep a paper on the wall with drumstick drumming? You already are a metalhead!" "New Age!" "Teach the hippies to relax in 13/8 and with no simple chords!” "Experimental industrial noise!" "Just record this yelling contest bro!" “Cheers to that!”

We had fun with trying to invent new genres, too. "Špitálwave" was for instance ambient music involving samples from a well-known Czech TV series of our childhood, taking place in a hospital. Some combinations were introduced, too. "Trash free jazz." "Jamaican punk-rap." “Young Adult Fart Rock."

Each of the musicians pledged to choose one genre and make a corresponding album. The general agreement was not to try imitating common approaches but rather to get inspired by whatever talked to us and do "the genre as it should be in our opinion." The main rule being "Have fun with it."

Nostalgin's Nikke Adde Goppe Shoppe is the first representative of this approach. Nostalgin himself doesn't deny the starting point was to mock genres like vaporwave or mallwave. But when he sent the masters off, part of his commentary was: "Thought it would be a total waste no real musician would want to listen to. But I have to admit when I was mixing it, I found out I really enjoyed listening to the music. Whether it's just because I played with it for such a long time or it's good in general, others have to find out."

So, do find out for yourselves, as we hope this series won't be just degraded music made by musicians for musicians – and let us know what you think!

And you, "Nostalgin", thank you very much for your contribution, the first one in the Guilty Measures series – you’re the man!

Binaural Space

Ambient traditionalists say to Binaural Space what the Emperor said to Mozart: “Too many notes.” In both cases, the rest of the world tends to disagree.

Great album that doesn't take itself too seriously but stands the test of multiple listens anyway (just yesterday I enjoyed a 2-hour drive accompanied only with the 4 pre-released tracks tremendously) Binaural Space

Fun, multi-genre album full with motley ideas in the best sense of the word, with that typical melodic and harmonic magic only ACY can provide. Currently my fav ACY album – and that's something! Binaural Space
