From hyper-emo to dial-up dance, weed420's immaculate and labyrinthian processions of maximalist vaporwave and lo-fi are overflowing with ideas, creativity, and joyful abandon. They are a collective of DIY musicians based in the Venezuelan city of Valencia. The group's myriad members – including DJ Juan, DJ Alvaro, Frowningato, and Juan Zamora – met online and have been active creating music together since 2021, yet they only met in person for the first time in 2025. As text-to-speech poetics meet DJ tag mania, their bricolage style moves between sombre cloud-rap and wafty ambient to maximal mashup and dancefloor quakers; they pull from the sounds of their surroundings, connecting reggaeton bass with chopped ‘n’ screwed trap. With their open experimentation and orientation towards sharing, weed420 exemplify the early internet hippy-tech utopics that corporations and algorithms have been trying to stamp down and filter out. Amid political turmoil, weed420's music offers a soundtrack to a lost generation of Venezuelan youth, conjuring sounds and visions of blissful adolescent twilights and late nights on Discord group calls.
