After collecting Barber Beats vinyl and cassettes over the past 3 years, i've put together a mix of some of my favorites coming from the genre. As a subgenre of vaporwave, Barber Beats is a collection of sampled works, typically revolving around the chiller side of easy-listening lounge electronica, jazz, weather channel music, elevator music, etc. The motto of Barber Beats is, "Everything is Plundered," meaning no music coming from Barber Beats is an original production, but a cut of an original work, similar to DJing. These albums are always released for free on Bandcamp to be shared for the love of the music itself, and they have especially become popular on YouTube. Enthusiasts can pay tribute to these musical researchers by buying their well-mastered vinyls / cassetes.

Samples used comes from Haircuts for Men, Macroblank, Oblique Occasions, Gore, Modest by Default, Manicures, and the more experimental Mabisyo. For more Barber Beats exploration, check them out.

Special Thanks to Aloe City World / Haircuts For Men for coining the  genre.
