ESPRIT began in 2012 as an anonymous outlet for George Clanton to explore sample-based music. Quickly embraced by the emerging internet genre known as vaporwave, ESPRIT's early EPs--Girls Only (2012) and Summer Night (2013)--have since become foundational works, regarded as essential listening among genre devotees.
In 2014, at a time when vaporwave was still largely defined by its use of found audio and manipulated samples, ESPRIT released the debut full-length virtua.zip, composed entirely of original material. This stylistic pivot also marked the public reveal of the project's creator: George Clanton.
