ARPWIRE TV FOUNDER / CREATIVE DIRECTOR / VIDEO EDITOR / HEAD OF TECHNOLOGY / SOCIAL MEDIA COORDINATOR / STORE RUNNER

In 1921, ArpWire started as a fruit-stand on the corner of 5th avenue. I was broke in the streets of New York wearing nothing but a root beer barrel with suspenders. After 30 failed attempts at business ideas, I almost gave up. Until one day until one day I accidentally wired an apple to a radio and heard vaporwave for the first time. That’s when I knew: fruit stands were out, nostalgia was in.

AUDIO ENGINEER / MUSIC CURATOR

“I’m a lifelong music collector and curator who began filling an iPod with obscure smooth jazz, electronic, and video game music found on Napster and Limewire at an early age. By 2007, I was crafting and uploading DJ mixes before taking the next step to play music in bars and clubs starting in 2009. Today, I create mixes on YouTube featuring music that lives between drifty, evolving ambient, acid-tinted mid-tempo electro, and steady, hypnotic club-floor house.”

COMMUNITY DIRECTOR

Roge Corp is an event and community organizer currently, as well as a visual artist based in Northern Virginia. Being involved with the vaporwave scene since late 2022, he enjoys finding new music and artists to support as well as make new friends with similar interests. He runs a collective called "VaporVA" alongside V4NGOE where they throw vaporwave and adjacent show in the Virginia and surrounding areas. They do their yearly festival in Richmond, VA called "i2k Electronic Music Festival", their online festival on Twitch called "ROGEFEST" and a variety of other smaller events where they've booked acts such as Windows 96, FM Skyline, VAPERROR, Slow Magic, Zorrovian and many many more. Roge is also one of a few hosts for Hot Takes Vapor, a vaporwave based podcast show where many acts big and small have been interviewed. He's into aliens, eating mac & cheese, and playing Phasmophobia. He is very excited to be apart of the ArpWireTV team and can't wait to bring his flavor to this side of the scene.

GRAPHIC DESIGNER

Alex Bramer is a Wisconsin-based graphic designer and recording artist with a passion for creating visual worlds that find balance between bittersweet nostalgia and dystopic brutalism. Beyond design, he releases introspective ambient and chillwave music as incndscnt, and raw, alt-metal-blended electronic music as payne fable. He’s excited to help shape and maintain the visual identity of ArpWire TV as it continues to grow as a community and online destination for nostalgic futurism.

BLOGGER / MUSIC CURATOR

“I'm a Chicago-based artist, producer, and writer with a lifelong foundation in music and formal training in the field. I’m excited to take the next step by spotlighting artists who embody the nostalgic yet forward-thinking mood of Arpwire TV. I’ve released ambient albums, created mixes on YouTube, and contributed to multiple music websites. Currently, I drum for a pop-rock band in the city and can often be found curating playlists on the train.”
