Actor David Bowie 's exclusive drummer Stalin Campbell launched a cassette tape and VHS tape label in Ottawa, Canada. However, Mr. Campbell, who wanted to spend more time with his daughter, decided to return to Cornwall, Ontario. And he seems to have felt the need to start something new and creative to continue music activities with Cornwall.

Mr. Campbell says "I need to start something for myself here as well." What I thought of the most stupid things that I can do now is to think about the 3.5-inch FD Vaipaaveu music It was said that it was to launch the world's first label " Strudelsoft " to record and sell. Veeper wave is a thing that added hand so that it can be heard more sensibly by slowly playing existing songs or remixing them.

The reason why we saved the Vaipaave to FD and started selling is unknown, but in the mid 1990's when we had already released the sound source on CD, bonus like Sony's "Music Screeners" It seems that FD was temporarily prevalent, such as content and artists' screensaver and music video being offered on 3.5 inch FD. There were also circumstances that pioneers of cassette tapes of the 1980s, such as "New Blockaders" " GX Jupitter - Larsen " "Maurizio Bianchi" released music by FD. Because it is a Vaipaaveu tributally tribute to the 1980s, it may be that storing on 3.5-inch floppy disks, which is no longer used, has come true.

"FD is cheaper than a cassette, it looks attractive because many colors are available, and the design is cool," says Matthew Isom, who runs Power Lunch, one of the labels that sells a Vaipa wave. According to Mr. Isomu, FD is superior in that it costs less when shipping overseas than cassette.

It is thought that Miami Vice 's " Culture Island " released in 2012 first came out as the "Vapper wave recorded on FD".

Mr. Campbell released for the first time at Strudelsoft "Veeper wave recorded on a 3.5-inch FD" was a song of an artist called " Cat Shi Corp ". It is said that MP3 data of 8 bit audio of 11 minutes 38 seconds was saved in 3.5 inch FD and sold. In addition, the 3.5-inch FD was sold out in just 8 seconds from the sale.

Mr. Campbell said that he first raised the 3.5-inch FD sold by Strudelsoft on eBay, but when he learns that it is expensive, he immediately calls the manufacturer to "unused 3.5 inch FD in the basement 400 ~ 500 people are asleep "to find people. It seems that family photograph data and Trojan horse virus etc were found in this 3.5 inch FD, but it seems that it is using as it is as a medium to preserve Vaipa wave as it is.

"FD fits the nostalgic factor and fits with nature and the Vaipa wave, the music of the Vaipaave is so - called Lo-Fi before being stored in a small space like FD," the American culture The media · Rolling Stone wrote. "FD can store 1.44 MB of data per piece, so it was only possible to save about 3 songs with one FD.The song is compressed to a place like hell (FD), but still I have heard songs from FD once, but since then I have been unable to complain, because it sounds good enough, "Sea Mr. Maftei of of Clouds.

It is said that Vaipaave enthusiasts like music stored in physical media, "At the Vaporwave Cassette Club 'collection of Vaipaave lovers on Facebook there are thousands of dollars worth of the Vaipa wave Some people publish audio data digitally.Honestly this is a funny thing, "Campbell says.
