Macross 82-99 (stylized as マクロス MACROSS 82-99 or MACROXX 82-99) is a Mexican electronic music producer and DJ from Mexico City.

Musical style

His music combines elements of plunderphonics, disco, jazz fusion, house, hip hop and city pop, and commonly uses video games, Japanese pop culture, and 80s and 90s anime, most notably Sailor Moon, as aesthetic tropes. Macross 82-99’s 2013 albums ネオ東京 (English: Neo Tokyo) and SAILORWAVE, along with musical cohort Saint Pepsi’s Hit Vibes, are commonly cited as the origin point for the “future funk” subgenre of vaporwave, which combines the sample-based production approach and visual language of vaporwave with French house and dance music influences.^[1][2]

The “82-99” in the artist’s stage name refers to Super Dimension Fortress Macross. The anime, which sonically and visually inspired the project, was broadcast in 1982 while the show’s story takes place in the year 1999.^[3]
