About this deal

The Faceless: As in Vaporwave, Future Funk artists started this way. Thanks to Yung Bae, this is becoming averted since more artists have shown their faces to the public, and even to albums themselves as Yung Bae does since a couple of years ago. He went on to develop an in-house tourbillon in four years. If that’s not an impressive feat, we don’t know what is. Future Funk (also known as New Disco, not to be confused with nu-disco ) is a sub-genre of Vaporwave born during the middle of The New '10s; along with Vaportrap and Simpsonwave, it is one of the most well-known and popular subgenres of the movement, and like its sister and mother genres, was born and remains primarily active on The Internet. It can be best described as " vaporwave that can be danced to". Product Placement: Used in the first wave of Future Funk when 80s commercials are used for the first Future Funk music videos as these ones .

Retraux: The music videos as well the effects in the songs are clearly based on The '80s and The '90s, mostly thanks to the anime from those years. Citizen is another one of the big four watch brands of Japan, a watchmaking powerhouse the world knows so well. The probably less known thing about them is their philosophy that every citizen of the world deserves to wear a high quality watch on their wrist, which is what the brand’s name stands for.

Notable Future Funk artists

Kurono is a sub-brand of Hajime Asaoka, one of the high end watchmakers based in Japan. You could say that Kurono is the affordable little sister company, using Miyota automatic movements to achieve that. The cases of their watches are incredibly complex and superbly finished, and house sourced Swiss made ETA movements further customized by themselves, but don’t expect their timepieces to be cheap. Today, Seiko is one of the biggest watch manufacturers in the world, with the capability of producing their own movements, parts, and components, something few brands can actually do.

They try to connect the entire country in their watchmaking process, using materials from several regions and a wide variety of crafts and specialists. The result is that their watch designs are inspired by the entirety of Japan as a country and culture, without being limited to a specific region. In terms of movements, they do source them from the likes of Seiko and Miyota. When it comes to design, they’ve got solid choices, from automatic chronographs to solar powered pieces, Bauhaus designs, and square shaped dress watches. And the most important price is their accessibility, allowing people to enjoy unique timepieces without breaking the bank. Besides these big prolific companies, there are plenty of smaller, independent watchmakers that have the qualities Japan is known for, like the excellent craftsmanship and the attention to detail that have made the big brands what they are today. The technologies used in the creation process are nothing but high end as well, and the brand simply represents the best of what Seiko’s over a century of experience in watchmaking has to offer.i want to preface this by saying that this is my own opinion, and that i may either be right or wrong about what i have to say. however, this is just speculation based on what i've seen in the future funk scene for the last few years. this is also just me rambling about my concerns For many, Daft Punk is considered the direct precursor to the genre (already being Trope Codifiers of French House, to which Future Funk is essentially a spiritual successor), often serving as an inspiration for Future Funk artists, many of whom sample or even remix the band's work to create new Future Funk songs. Their 2001 album Discovery (as well its anime adaptation Interstella 5555) is considered a particular source of inspiration not just for the sound of Future Funk, but also the aesthetics of it, to the point where some music videos in the genre appropriate clips from Interstella 5555. Their pieces aren’t by any means spectacular, but pleasant mechanical timepieces that are characterized by reliability and a beautiful simplicity.
