Synthwave music

Riding the neon pulse of the synthwave underground: The Mystic Underground turn up the tempo and ferocity with their dance-floor-destined NYC electropop clarion call, while Michael HERTER delivers a digital frontier of cyberpunk soundscapes fusing analog textures and retro-futuristic 8-bit grit. Fused offer bubblegum futurism wrapped in razor wire with their analogue-edged electropop ode to machine-age glamour, and Stan Stewart crafts ten sparse, hopeful pieces teetering on the edge of ambient. Joe Faniel brings headbop-worthy IDM and dance from Tasmania, and Demiurgo conjure digital ghosts and synthetic dreams through IDM, glitch and retrowave on their celebrated anniversary edition.
