Synthwave Suggestions?

[Chaz]

Hi all,

I've recently discovered I really love Synthwave. I've been listening to Futurecop! and Gunship which are excellent.
I was wondering if any of you guys know of any Synthwave bands with a similar 80's vibe?

https://futurecop.bandcamp.com/

(excuse Futurecop!'s terrible colour scheme)

And producing this kind of music would be a fun side project too. Better start coming up with those hooks.

Ooh! De-lurking to share some of my favorites. :listening:

Mitch Murder: https://mitchmurder.bandcamp.com
Com Truise: https://comtruise.bandcamp.com
My Faust: https://myfaust.bandcamp.com
Dance With The Dead: https://dancewiththedead.bandcamp.com
Mr Velcro Fastener: http://mrvelcrofastener.com (maybe not technically synthwave)

...and if you want to dip your toes in the synth pop pool, I highly recommend Freezepop: http://www.freezepop.net

Oh this is seriously great stuff!!! Thanks for this!

[Beneath A Tree That Died]

Check out Kavinsky (the album OutRun) he's awesome - fun fact, everything is VST-based, NO HARDWARE.

I recently discovered "The Midnight" on Spotify, he has a lot of 80's/90's pop influence in his synth/music. There's also PowerGlove and Megadrive.

Synthwave Suggestions?

I have been loving synthwave for awhile. All of the above are great. There is a fabulous Soundcloud community where you can find a lot of this.

Others: Miami Nights 1984, FM84, College, Timecop 1983. Just check out the Synthetic Sunday's podcast
