On Nov. 17, the Cat’s Cradle Backroom, a small venue in Carborro, N.C., hosted a concert for musician Skylar Spence. Formerly known as Saint Pepsi, Skylar Spence is Ryan DeRobertis’ electronic project, which is typically categorized into the genres of Vaporwave, Nu-disco or Future-Funk.
Yes, it is as fun as it sounds. DeRobertis employs the sampling of sounds from the 80s, 90’s and early 2000s to make addicting, fun and nostalgic pop songs.
If you’re a fan of Daft Punk’s old and new records, you’ll enjoy Skylar Spence’s 2015 release Prom King, which includes an eclectic mix of powerful dance tunes and slowly building instrumental tracks.
