History
Saint Pepsi was the early name of Ryan DeRobertis, a Long Island producer whose chopped disco and funk edits helped shape future funk. Working from Farmingville, New York, he put out a run of self-released records online, and the 2013 album Hit Vibes became his breakthrough: short, looping cuts built from sped-up soul and boogie samples, filtered and pumping, closer to a house party than to the slow haze of early vaporwave. The attention also brought legal threats from PepsiCo, and after signing to Carpark Records in 2014 he moved to a new name, Skylar Spence. The single Fiona Coyne first appeared under the old name, and the debut Skylar Spence album Prom King followed in 2015, with DeRobertis singing and writing his own songs instead of building them from samples, a turn toward bright synth-pop. Later he began using the Saint Pepsi name again for live shows and selected releases. His sample-era records are recognised by tight loops, a warm lo-fi gloss and choruses lifted from half-remembered radio hits.
