Vendor: Equip Type: LP Price:
25.00
Another release for the 100 CLUB - an extremely limited release series from karakreativ. Only available during the Big Stream VR Livestream.
Originally released as part of Equip's cassette club, "EQUIP's PICKS," comes "The Angler's Dream." River Master is an alias that shows Equip exploring the extremely specific genre of "fishing video game music." This unique release proved to be a fan favorite among EQUIP's PICKS subscribers, and makes its way to the public this week via karakreativ's 100 CLUB.
ESPRIT 空想 is an alias for George Clanton that has been running concurrently with the George Clanton & Mirror Kisses projects since 2012. Broadly speaking ESPRIT is the more vaporwave-leaning side of George Clanton. Over time, the lines have become more blurred between George Clanton and ESPRIT, and now the projects are more separated by the way they can be performed live more than anything else. virtua.zip is the album that started to blur those lines. Released in 2014, one year before karakreativ, virtua.zip is significant in being one of the first "vaporwave" albums to be comprised of original compositions.
The information from the original release page is pasted below: "This album is distinct in that it is comprised of all original compositions. Samples are utilized as a brushstroke rather than a canvas. Tracks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 16 are entirely free of sampling.

Originally released in 2017 under the moniker "Sprite1999," Satin Sheets was discovered by karakreativ via an unsolicited package of cassette demos mailed from New Zealand. After receiving a vinyl release in 2018, St Francis's warm infectious sound went on to become influential in the vaporwave community, and is regularly cited as a touchstone of the "karakreativ sound."
Now available on vinyl paired with the long-lost St Francis II album, as well as a standalone on this pink cassette. Limited to 100 copies.

“Illuminations is a homage to 20th century French Impressionism/surrealism as well as a homage to the way art from that era inspired some of early digital art in the 80s & 90s, and is intended to invoke a classical, theatrical atmosphere. It became a very personal and emotionally heavy album for me - besides the obvious backdrop of a world frozen in pandemic, it was written between the loss of a best friend and then later on the dissolution of a long romantic relationship. I was exploring loss through the way seemingly familiar things can feel haunted by being dislodged from their original context or being obvious facsimiles of more natural things.”
Special cassette containing CURSEBREAKER GAIDEN- the psychedelic accompaniment to CURSEBREAKER X. Pro dubbed on a transparent blue cassette tape with matching norelco case, 6 panel J-card featuring art from Bani-chan. Each side contains the album at a different speed- 33RPM and 45RPM repectively. CURSEBREAKER GAIDEN is a tribute to the vaporwave pioneers. Contained within are hypnotic eccojams made by sampling CURSEBREAKER X- 100% original vaporwave.

Critical Reception: “…transportive…”, “Engineered with precision” and “.. channels bits of techo, trance, 2-step, and jungle into contemporary rave hybrids tempered with a hint of vaporwave’s self-awareness.” -Pitchfork
"A SHAPESHIFTING, RETRO-FUTURISTIC EFFORT FROM THE NYC VAPOR-HOUSE DEBUTANTE." -IMPOSE MAGAZINE
"An ode to the perpetual passing of time, “Us Ephemeral” embraces the impermanence and absurdity of life itself." -C-Heads
"Vitesse X's affinity for blending elements of dream-pop, drum & bass percussion, and vaporwave is made immediately apparent with her newest track's hypnotic yet energetic feel." -Ones To Watch on 'Us Ephemeral'
"The retrofuturist project is what we can safely call a crossover as it transcends jungle beats, vaporware, hypnagogic pop and chillwave to form something new, a cyborg dream pop that would fit so well in the karakreativ landscape." - Highclouds

About Vitesse X is an electronic music mystic. After years playing in bands and DJing around her native New York, she launched her solo career to get in touch with herself and with the euphoric spirit of the dancefloor—the limitless possibilities that present themselves when you’ve spent hours at the club, or in a sweaty basement, moving your body until the sun rises. Rightly, her songs recognize the history of rave music as a vehicle for surreal, otherworldly, and most of all, emotional pop songs. Swirling together technicolor synth programming from that tradition, with a technical approach she honed in her years as an esteemed sound engineer, her work feels nostalgic and futurist at once. It’s pop music out of time and place that celebrates the ecstatic potential of the club—a fitting soundtrack for the nights that you want to last forever.
When the pandemic struck in 2020, Vitesse X began writing songs without expectation and found the process intensely cathartic. Though she’d made music of her own before, she soon emerged with her most honest output to date—what eventually took shape into Us Ephemeral, her debut solo album for karakreativ. Inspired heavily by Kraftwerk’s Tour de France, she made electronic music that felt intensely human, using her songs as a conduit for connection. Ambient techno, ’90s rave, and coldwave beats pulsate across the record’s nine tracks as she sings about what weighs heavy on her heart. The sonic diversity and vivid emotion allowed her to reconnect to what inspired her to become an artist in the first place.
Vitesse X fell in love with the expansive possibilities of music when she was a teenager listening to acts like Radiohead, Aphex Twin, and Four Tet, who wrung powerful feelings out of intricate, genre-blurring productions. She started to take ownership of it herself when she went to college in Virginia, where she began playing guitar and bass in punk, shoegaze, and chillwave outfits. It was in that scene that she first met and played shows with karakreativ’s eventual founder George Clanton, who was then performing as Mirror Kisses. Even then, they were kindred spirits, forging the connection that ultimately led to her having a place on the label.
One of her bands gained ground in the early 2010s blog scene and began to get offers to tour around the country, inspiring Vitesse X to drop out of college and move to New York. Soon after she relocated, though, that project dissolved, and after a stint in another established group in the city, she decided it was time for a change. Burned out on road life and other people’s bands, she zeroed in on her craft and the music that meant the most to her. “I needed the confidence to approach music with a much stronger sense of myself,” she says, now a master of her craft.
Working as an engineer and producer, Vitesse X became an in-demand name in the New York scene and developed her technical abilities. At the same time, she was DJing more and more around the city, further clarifying her affection for the blissful rush of dance music. When the pandemic hit and live music stopped, it provided an opportunity to think about how to translate that love into a sound that felt honest—a true reflection of how she saw the world.
“The music that speaks to me most is always the music I was listening to during a time when I was desperately trying to escape my reality,” she says. Us Ephemeral is designed with that in mind. Whether it’s “Therma Maxima” exposing the toll greed takes on the planet over ethereal breakbeats and vaporwave synths, or the lyrically vulnerable IDM-inflected “Gated Bloom,” the record acknowledges tough times—but ultimately offers a portal to a better world.
That sentiment has powered this project since its inception. Launching Vitesse X when club nights and live gigs were on hold meant getting creative about sonically communing. She found a way through karakreativ’s weekly virtual reality streams—a thriving community where thousands gather to hang out and listen to new music. She started throwing her own digital parties and forging bonds despite the distance—fitting, since her music was made with the idea of community in mind. With Us Ephemeral’s otherworldly sounds and evocative lyrics, Vitesse X is set to help people connect, and then transcend. “Music is an escapist thing for me,” she says. “I’m always trying to evoke that in other people—to help them reach another realm.”
BLOODbath64 is a non-canon release from the minds that brought you beloved Indie-Pop Combo TV Girl. A "side-project" done in the "vaporwave" style. Don't worry if you don't know what vaporwave is, for this is the first, the last, the only vaporwave album you will ever need.

Vendor: Small Black Type: Music Price:
15.00
Chillwave pioneers Small Black are returning with their first new album in five years. Cheap Dreams, described as a “Long Island gothic surf epic,” will be released on April 9th, 2021 via karakreativ.
Founded in 2009 Brooklyn, Small Black were at the forefront of the chillwave scene of the early 2010s. Making their way through three LPs and multiple incarnations of the band, they became a touring machine across America and overseas throughout the last decade. After five years, Cheap Dreams finds the band taking stock on where they’re from and where they’ve ended up. The album pays tribute to Kolenik’s uncle, a passionate surfer whose attic in Long Island was used for making their first album. Shortly after the release of their 2015 album, he passed from a stroke while at the beach and a good chunk of the record is about his life and how it reflects on the band’s choice to try to live out theirs as musicians.
'If you are looking for some dreamy ass synth-pop, give it a listen" -The Needle Drop
“'The Bridge' is a chillwave ode to New York's magical Rockaway beach... It's a contemplative and transportive track at its core — if you close your eyes, it's almost like you can feel the ocean breeze on your face." - NYLON
"Small Black’s new jam “The Bridge” is a soft, gentle, contemplative number built on soft pianos and bleary washes of guitar. It’s pretty." - Stereogum
'Tampa finds Small Black at their most widescreen and evocative, and it shimmers with the kind of wistful, youthful nostalgia that the group has always been so good at conjuring.'-Gorilla vs. Bear
'a thumping and appropriately dreamy return from the band.'-Stereogum on 'Tampa'
death's dynamic shroud's highly anticipated double-album 'Darklife' is out now, via karakreativ. Stream it here.
Limited to 500qty.
All three members of death’s dynamic shroud (James Webster, Keith Rankin & Tech Honors) reunited for the first time since 2017’s Heavy Black Heart for their recent suite of material - ‘Judgment Bolt’ (Single), 'Fall For Me' (Single), ‘Neon Memories EP’, ‘Messe de E-102 EP’, all parts leading to their most ambitious work to date – ‘Darklife’ out September 23, 2022 via karakreativ. You can pre-save and pre-order ‘Darklife’ on LTD Edition 2x 12” vinyl, CD & Cassette here.
“Since 2014 we have been releasing albums under the death’s dynamic shroud name in pairs or as individuals, but Darklife is the strongest representation of our combined sensibilities, shifting from heavy electronic dance music to bubblegum pop, from gentle ballads to harsh digital abstractions; it is an outpouring of ideas and acts as a new beginning for the group. Much of the album is about the nature of love as a metaphor for our individual philosophies sparking and melding in the music, examining love as a social construct, or as the fabric of the universe, or as not existing at all. As our debut for karakreativ, Darklife can also be seen as a bridge between the underground tape and electronic scene of the 2010s into the dance and pop world the label has been shepherding.” -death’s dynamic shroud
CRITICAL RECEPTION “On a new double album, the experimental collective continues its journey from vaporwave toward fractured, maximalist pop music… Darklife documents DDS’s humanity emerging from their once purely digital world. While it still features the internet-damaged sample manipulation that has become their trademark, it also incorporates more original production, instrumentation, and vocals than previous releases.” -Pitchfork
"A dizzying, idea-packed journey into fractured maximalist pop from Death's Dynamic Shroud."-Bandcamp
"...Tech Honors, James Webster, and Keith Rankin of Orange Milk Records are in fine form with the new project, which demonstrates a poppier development since their niche beginnings on tracks like "Fall For Me," "Neon Memories," and "Judgement Bolt." -FADER
“Messe de E-102” is a spooky electro-pop thriller brimming with tension and triumph." -What's Goodon ‘Messe de E-102’
"It’s a bear that death’s dynamic shroud have wrestled with for years and consistently come out on top with adventurous triumphs like 'Neon Memories.'" -FADER on Neon Memories 10 songs you need in your life this week: 4/18/22
"...indie-pop track that evolves into a massive electronic behemoth... there’s never been a better time to be a fan of Death’s Dynamic Shroud." -Lyrical Lemonade on Neon Memories
“...Fucking awesome…” -The Needle Drop on ‘Judgment Bolt’ during NMF
“‘Judgment Bolt’ continues the search for untraditional dancefloor bangers, channeling Skrillex and the digital miasma of classic vaporwave.” -THE FADERon ‘Judgment Bolt’ “…a pixelated, dancefloor-shaking blur of digitized beats, trippy orchestral passages and mutated vocals that stoke excitement for the full-length to come.” -Columbus Alive on ‘Judgment Bolt’

Pulling from a much larger cache of influences, "Slide" effortlessly slips between genres throughout, even multiple times per track, while still sounding grounded. "Slide" is proof that George Clanton cannot make an experimental album. This is a new form of pop music - simple and nostalgic, and at the same time fresh and exciting.
Due to the vinyl manufacturing process, each record is unique and there will be slight variations in the vinyl color.

"it just felt right to get all the other side B tracks we had from that era, and turn the Small Black EP into the LP it was intended to be..."
Here's a note from singer Josh Kolenik on the LP: "Ryan and I would lock ourselves away on weekends in the attic of my Uncle Matt's surfboard workshop/house on Long Island in 2008/2009. There was nothing to do there except get tuned up on vodka-lemonade with Matt and run the dinky Casio through a $5 Radio Shack amp to see how crazy it sounded. We didn't really know the proper rules of recording, and the only absolute must was that there be no real drums on the album as we'd had enough of craigslist. There were no expectations for the songs, except to play some Todd P warehouse shows and then Despicable Dogs changed our lives.
It's been well over a decade now. Matt's gone, back surfing in the sky somewhere. There was a real spirit to being at his house, with full focus on the tunes for these 48 hour marathons that gave them an intimacy that still feels fresh to me. We originally had made a full record, but ended up sitting on some tracks as we figured out the live band and did an EP instead. Last year, I plugged in a hard drive we thought was never going to turn on again and found the lost music for Desert of the Heart. It had always felt like the missing song from this era, so we decided to spruce it up and finish the mix. In doing so, it just felt right to get all the other side B tracks we had from that era, and turn the Small Black EP into the LP it was intended to be. Most of the other tracks on the second side are things that we'd played live at the little venue we ran, Bongozz, but the recordings were never officially released. Side C has the classic remix of D-Dogs from Washed Out along with some other rarities, including a live version of Weird Machines from our 2nd ever show.
We found a ton of home tapes going through the archive that we collated into a 23 minute time capsule of our recording and songwriting at that time. Jamming with kids in Charlottesville after a house show. Synth sessions on the roof of Ryan's Bushwick loft. It's a document of that time, outside of the constraints of songs and choruses. It was a trip to go back to 2009 and made me proud of what 2 kids with a blown out Casio SK-5 and an MPC in a freezing surfshack came up with! It's been a hell of a run with Ryan, Juan and Jeff and we just keep on rolling! - Josh

"Clanton seems to have a similar uncanny knack as artists like John Maus and Ariel Pink for creating soaring, unabashedly dramatic classic pop, and it’s clear after one listen to legit anthems like “Bleed” and “It Makes the Babies Want To Cry” that ’80s MTV heroes like Tears For Fears and New Order are obvious reference points. But this is pop music refracted and warped through Clanton’s singular and unmistakably modern lens, as he manages to turn vaporwave, chillwave, and other assorted internet-genre-waves on their collective ear, ultimately transcending all of it in the name of undeniable, timeless jams that could only exist in 2015, songs that can be at once subversive, funny, dark, poignant, and deeply affecting." - Gorilla Vs Bear www.gorillavsbear.net/2015/09/25/album-premiere-george-clanton-100-electronica/

"THEE PHYSICAL is packed with giddy tangents and unexpected bursts of utopian anthemia, pianos and keyboards so feverishly happy they sound like they could spontaneously catch fire at any moment." -Resident Advisor
"It will leave you buzzin’ ‘n’ breathless with a warm glow and a satisfied smile" -Pop Matters
"Thee Physical is music ready for a dance floor (just as much as past Pictureplane releases have been), but it's also a disc that shows growth towards a better ability to blend the synthetic and the organic." -Consequence of Sound
"Though the music often suggests a frozen remove, Egedy's voice conveys a need to connect, which smartly reinforces the album's lyrical themes of feeling isolated and disconnected from the physical self." -AV Club
About Pictureplane has made his name circling the outer limits of pop culture in several mediums. The Brooklyn-based artist's gallery works, shown both in the U.S. and abroad, collide familiar with fringe and hard lines with visceral spatter. His Alien Body clothing line serves up a stylized study of symbology, the occult, and societal decay. And his music—beautiful yet heavy, swirling wild strains of industrial dance, gothic hip-hop, and emotive New Age—treats electronics not as artificial, but as extensions of our analog selves. After a decade thrashing the status quo, Egedy is not only kin to makers of lovely dark music everywhere, but a vital player in the global DIY community. He is a proud outsider, yes, but his tribe is legion and ever-growing.
In 2011, Pictureplane's Thee Physical arrived, marking a major leap forward. Egedy's voice was suddenly dripping sex at the forefront of a lush synthscape, while cuts like "Trancegender" and "Breath Work" explored the human body with gender-dissolving aplomb. He moved to Brooklyn in 2012 in order to stoke alt-rave culture from a more powerful vantage before teaming up with fabled indie-rap imprint Anticon for Technomancer (2015), an LP about the blurring line between ourselves and our machines. Along the way, Egedy's toured with everyone from Crystal Castles and Major Lazer to the Faint and Gang of Four. He has remixed Lil B; been remixed by Grimes; collaborated with bands (Prayers) and SoundCloud stars (Goth Boi Clique)
