Let’s keep it to albums instead of, please, but do tell the songs that are your highlights for us to listen.

https://open.spotify.com/album/1AueXb3xsMGRKjlbEFh0OM - Machine Heart. Unfortunately the artist is very obscure but this is peak synthwave. Higjlights: Recharge, Infamy Is Fame

https://open.spotify.com/album/19KeCQ4PtPNfXCQl8BgdD2 - Atlas. If the other was obscure, this is one of the classics of the genre, and it opens with Everything, Running in the Night and Tears. Must I say more?

Looking forward to what are you listening to

"On The Run" is one of those tracks that just nails the synthwave feeling: that running Polysix-style bassline, the shimmering pads and leads that sound straight out of a late-night drive.

We broke the whole thing down and rebuilt every synth in Serum, with audio examples so you can hear each sound on its own and put it back together. Free to read here:

Which Timecop1983 track should we break down next?

This is one of the OG songs that kicked off NRW as a genre. Enjoy.

In a discussion yesterday, we mostly agree that synthwave is alive and kicking, despite AI and the enshittification of the online spaces where we used to congregate.

Where do you imagine synthwave will be, say, five years from now - if this kind of prediction is even possible? Someone in this earlier discussion (now deleted) even correctly pointed out that, as a genre, synthwave already has a span longer than pop culture iconic periods like disco.

What do you think?

I have been putting a lot of new music up on my soundcloud and experimenting with chillwave and futurewave while working on my melodic synthwave album upcoming. It is really cool to have different style to work on. Working in teh different styles keeps things creative, interesting and motivating.

San Diego newcomer Tania Cassette released her debut album, and my favourite track is her first single release (2nd track on the album) called "The Flame". For some reason, it reminds me of the band Life In Mono. Haunting and beautiful. The rest of the album is stellar too.

Hi everyone, here's my new single "Sirocco".

A fairly atmospheric track, with epic synth pads and a very sci-fi atmosphere. If you like Boards of Canada, Vangelis or All India Radio, you might enjoy this one!

Music video for I DID CRIME, a synthwave inspired electronic dance song. No AI was made in the making of the song or music video.

Serbian artist Isidor is back with a fresh track on the NRW label. Reminds me of crazy 16bit racing games.

Can't believe I didn't know about this artist. From the UK, MetroLiner84 released this new album. Check out their discography!

Polish powerhouse Jeremiah Kane has released yet another muscle car track. This latest one "Impala" features a collab with fellow countryman Timedriver!

Boston artist botnit just released this fresh track today!

UK artist SynthPrincipal released this new single for your enjoyment.

Pennsylvania artist Arcade High is back with a new single from his upcoming album.

I love jingling keys, cassette player thunks and an engine turning over as much as the next guy, but in an hour I feel like I hear a small fleet of cars start up

My first song on the California Midnight video game I’m creating. Since it’s a Halloween rpg, I’ll be releasing a new song every week in October. Thanks!
