Welcome to the last WAX Wednesday of 2019!

Hey everyone, what an absolutely incredible year in video game music on vinyl! So many wonderful albums were released this year, and I am just so thrilled with all of the amazing creators out there putting these wonderful round discs out for us all to enjoy. This was a pretty magical year for a lot of you — some of you even started brand new and incredible labels from out of thin air to bring us all a bit of yourself in 2019 and beyond. I am so deeply proud of each and every one of you for giving us fans and creators alike another wonderful year filled with music. I didn’t think it was possible, but you all made me fall in love with video game music on vinyl even more this year. I am so thankful every day for the gift that you all have given me.

2019 was also an incredible year for the VGM WAX website, it has grown to be something bigger than I ever imagined and that is thanks to each and every one of you. This year I took a leap and began bringing interview content to the website and what a journey that has been. Getting to talk with and listen to all of your wonderful stories was absolutely magical for me, and something I would never trade for the whole world. Helping share those stories with equally passionate fans has been an absolute pleasure. Unveiling the love of your work with the world has filled my heart with so much joy. I can’t wait to share even more stories and new content in 2020.

Speaking of new content, today I have launched a store page on the site filled with lots of cool little merch items that I have been working on. In addition to all the little mugs, cups, stickers, and shirts — I have designed a super limited edition print run of stickers and shirts to celebrate the Vaporwave community. Until New Year’s Day you can scope this limited design as a sticker or T-Shirt to show off your VGM WAX and Vaporwave pride!

ALSO… I am currently working on a project that I am excited to share with all of you! Head on over to this special little page I created to give you all a tease of what’s in store for 2020.

Because of your incredible work this year, I have decided to expand the VGM WAX Awards beyond the original six in 2018 to a total of sixteen in 2019! I hope that in some way I can give back to you the love you have shared with the whole world. Without further ado… I give to you the VGM WAX Awards 2019!

All the love in the world!
