Vektroid

Vektroid, the creative alias of American electronic musician Ramona Xavier, has been a defining force in experimental digital music since the early 2010s. Best known for pioneering the vaporwave genre through her game-changing 2011 album *Floral Shoppe* (released as Macintosh Plus), she crafts nostalgic soundscapes that warp retro tech aesthetics into surreal new forms. Her recent works like *cRASH 2: Mac +/-* (2023) and *777 PIG DANGER* (2024) continue her tradition of glitchy, genre-blurring experimentation, combining fragmented Windows system sounds, distorted pop culture references, and pulsing synth textures. Operating through numerous pseudonyms including PrismCorp Virtual Enterprises and Laserdisc Visions, Vektroid remains a prolific shapeshifter in underground electronic music, constantly reimagining our relationship with digital nostalgia through her surreal audio collages.
