Artists from Xiomara, Alternate Skies to Maitro and From Tokyo to Honolulu cassettes and vinyl were being thrown out the window. Who knew this was such an important day for the scene. http://musicsthehangup.com/events/2019-04-20/ 

Digital Releases

契約(feat.初音ミク) by AOTQ released a single - sweet Hip-hop like Japanese autotune single today that brighten my morning. If this is any sign for the next album coming out, it’s going to be a sweet chill out experience. https://aotq.bandcamp.com/track/feat 

As for all physical & some digital releases if I didn’t mention it in this episode, I most likely did on the daily future funk and vaporwave new posts on our website, musicsthehangup.com/events
