Vaporwave/Future Funk producer Karate King (spelt in Japanese Kanji as 空手王) has finally completed his IKARI mixtape trilogy. First unveiled to the world in December of 2017, the IKARI-蒸気波LP (tr: Vaporwave LP) series are an anthology of vintage funky sample-based tracks tinted with the existential angst felt plaguing Shinji Ikari of Neon Genesis Evangelion throughout the classic anime series.
With IKARI-蒸気波LP III, producer Daniel Danielson signs off with a worthy finale to an ambitious project that will no doubt be spinning through the endless, sleepless nights of neurotic anime fans and doomers longing for funky grooves with an unsettling, bitter aftertaste.

As with the previous instalments in the series, IKARI-蒸気波LP III is also available on Aqua Blue color vinyl.
IKARI-蒸気波LP III is available now via Bandcamp.
