Information
AKA Hong Kong Express
Name David Russo
Location London, Greater London, United Kingdom
Member of 2814, Danpenka Sareta Yuujin
Founder of Dream Catalogue, TKX, Nirvana Port, Pryamids, Dream Catalogue EVO
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 experimental vaporwave, techno, hardvapour, and dreampunk producer from London. 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" (In relation to Vaporwave Is Dead), their toxic and snotty social media activity, the creation of the genres "hardvapour"[1] which countered vaporwave culture and "flap" in an effort to "troll",[2] the on-and-off "closures" of Dream Catalogue that would be undermined one or two months after,[3][4] and their larger-than-life personality. Releases under aliases and groups such as The/End (A project along with Remember), Martin Smith, their raccoon releases spanning from their labels Dream Catalogue and TKX, hyper_devil, M, 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, techno, and "flap"[5] releases that usually stray away from the dreampunk genre he's 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.

While appearing as an acronym to their alias Hong Kong Express, Russo has stated that HKE is an "empty acronym" and shouldn't be associated with the Hong Kong Express moniker.[6]

Hong Kong Express

Hong Kong Express is one of the first aliases by David Russo[7] that would kick off their vaporwave career. Russo's releases under the alias are focused heavily on the soundscapes of dreampunk and ambient compared to the alias HKE'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.

However, the aesthetics would only appear on the album フライトを楽しむ (Enjoy Your Flight!) with every album afterward featuring only the 'Japan' aesthetics in the alias' name.

Mike Tenay

Mike Tenay, also known under the one-time name change Michel Tenoît, is an alias created by Russo referencing former wrestling announcer [wiki:Michel Tenoît].[8] Russo's music under the alias takes heavy inspiration from the highlife club and party scene with the music noting a Future Funk sound.

Penthouse Apartment

チェスマスター

チェスマスター (Chessmaster), also known under the pseudonym Chesumasutā, is a prolific alias of Russo.[10][7] Russo released semi-popular dreampunk albums such as I Am Chesumasuta and 非実体 throughout the alias' vast release period. However, the project is also housing complicated releases such as Cultivation Of The Flesh, Contemplation Of Reality, In Forest Rain, I Am Not Chesumasuta, Simpson 6, and Return Of The High Intellect Nymphomaniac Anime Legend 3000 questions the validity of the artist. The alias has connections to Martin Smith,[2] another alias of HKE featuring a hip-hop sound detached from their vaporwave sound he's known for.
