Name	David Russo

Years Active	2013 - Present

David Russo, also known under the alias HKE (Which is a shortened version of Hong Kong Express), Lucid, and a myriad of other aliases, is a British vaporwave and dreampunk producer. Russo would begin their music career in 2012 under the alias Subaeris, but wouldn't be making vaporwave until August 2013.

Russo is best known for their works in the hardvapour and dreampunk movement, their ownership of the controversial vaporwave label Dream Catalogue, and the vast majority of aliases and one-off nicknames. Russo's work with t e l e p a t h テレパシー能力者 under the group name 2814 would be a significant factor in the popularization of dreampunk with the album 新しい日の誕生 becoming one of vaporwave's most well-known albums. The albums 2047, Gateway アセンション, and HK released by Russo would become staples of Dreampunk.

Russo would also become of vaporwave's most controversial with their diversion into "vaporhell", their toxic and snotty social media activity, the on-and-off "closures" of Dream Catalogue that would be undermined one or two months after, and their larger-than-life personality. Releases under aliases and groups such as The/End (A project along with Remember), Lucid, and White Banshee would also legitimize their status as a controversial figure.

HKE

HKE is the primary alias under David Russo, known for their hardvapour, industrial techno, and "flap" releases that usually stray away from the dreampunk genre they're heavily known for creating. The alias is also the one Russo is most active on, having more than twenty releases under its belt. It's also the alias that's most associated with their "self-aware" and "shitpost" like releases with projects such as Choonz and its sequel, A NU MYSTIC TRAJECTORY, Birth Of Da Nu World, #Hyperchill, and More Electric Swill To Fill Up Your Stupid Heads.

Hong Kong Express

Hong Kong Express is one of the first aliases by David Russo that would kick off their vaporwave career. The full name of the shortened alias HKE, the album is focused heavily on the soundscapes of dreampunk and ambient compared to the latter's hardvapour and techno direction. Russo would also tap into sounds of vaporwave and downtempo throughout the earlier releases of Hong Kong Express with 浪漫的夢想 and 2047. However, releases such as Lucid to It would reflect the musical direction of HKE.
