George Clanton
Vaporwave was supposed to be a joke that ran out of road. Instead an entire generation quietly used it to grieve an internet that felt, for about four years, like somewhere you could actually live.
George Clanton is the one who turned that into something you can stand in a room and shout along to. He runs 100% Electronica, the label that dragged a message-board aesthetic into a real scene with real tours, and his shows are known for crowd-surfing, which has no business working for chillwave and works anyway. Much of the sampled material underneath it is Japanese city pop — records cut in Tokyo in the eighties for people with money, a car, and an unhurried future — and the collision between that optimism and a floor full of people who have none of those things is the whole emotional engine of the night.
Midweek, an hour from the city. Nobody is there casually.
Doors at eight on Wednesday the twenty-first, up on East Main.
