It was released through the <strong>Business Casual<\/strong> label, a popular label for varying genres. One genre the label features a lot of is Vaporwave music, which is thought to be a parent genre of Future Funk. Chris has an extensive background with Vaporwave music, releasing a 3 volume <strong>Vaporwave<\/strong> series in 2014. Sun, Sea and Surfing also has clear Vaporwave influences, starting with the cover art. For those who are saying to themselves \u201cI just found out what Future Funk is and now we\u2019re talking about Vaporwave?\u201d this track from his Vaporwave Vol.1 is a good example of what Vaporwave sounds like (With a Conscious twist, of course).<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"120\" style=\"position: relative; display: block; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/v=2\/track=3749594838\/album=3545990196\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=63b2cc\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/\" allowtransparency=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n<p>For the most part, however, Sun, Sea and Surfing is a jamming Future Funk album with heavy kicks, fast hi-hats, and clean disco samples.  And Chris has become a notable Future Funk producer. About nine months after releasing this album, He was featured as the first artist on the <strong>Future Society Collective\u2019s Volume 1<\/strong> Compilation. Later that month, he released the \u201cspiritual successor to Sun Sea and Surfing\u201d through the same collective, entitled <strong>\u611b (Love)<\/strong>. Since then, he has also joined the <strong>Club Coral Collective<\/strong> and is featured as the last artist on their <strong>Coral City Compilation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"93835\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.frostclick.com\/wp\/index.php\/2016\/06\/29\/conscious-thoughts-sun-sea-and-surfing\/consciousthoughts-sun-sea-and-surfing-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.frostclick.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/ConsciousThoughts-Sun-Sea-and-Surfing-2.jpg?fit=900%2C900&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"900,900\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"ConsciousThoughts Sun Sea and Surfing 2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.frostclick.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/ConsciousThoughts-Sun-Sea-and-Surfing-2.jpg?fit=900%2C900&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.frostclick.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/ConsciousThoughts-Sun-Sea-and-Surfing-2.jpg?resize=900%2C900\" alt=\"ConsciousThoughts Sun Sea and Surfing 2\" width=\"900\" height=\"900\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-93835\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.frostclick.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/ConsciousThoughts-Sun-Sea-and-Surfing-2.jpg?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.frostclick.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/ConsciousThoughts-Sun-Sea-and-Surfing-2.jpg?resize=200%2C200&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.frostclick.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/ConsciousThoughts-Sun-Sea-and-Surfing-2.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.frostclick.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/ConsciousThoughts-Sun-Sea-and-Surfing-2.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.frostclick.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/ConsciousThoughts-Sun-Sea-and-Surfing-2.jpg?resize=125%2C125&amp;ssl=1 125w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>ConsciousThoughts<\/strong> captures a good mood with <strong>Sun, Sea and Surfing<\/strong>.
