SynthWave (more music to jack in to)

So this is my take on SynthWave. These are my personal favorite artists and the tracks that keep me coming back. You’ve seen Drive, you’ve seen Stranger Things. You’ve heard the music. Did you know there’s a whole genre? Yeah, there’s been posts before, but here I go.

GUNSHIP. My favorite. These guys (in my opinion) embody the soul of Synth Wave. Their music is spot on, their videos are kick ass. Allow me share. https://youtu.be/xcf13_OzsPU. https://youtu.be/-nC5TBv3sfU

Miami Nights 1984. Straight lost to the 80s Synth. If you can’t feel the hot humid summer nights on your face, you’re either high, or night high enough. https://youtu.be/nLzjm9E1hwg

Makeup and Vanity Set (or MAVS) have done some killer tracks. A lot of independent stuff, and some work for short films. Most recently, they had a track on the Death Note film for Netflix. https://youtu.be/-kW9EUSyjho. https://youtu.be/LK3qEY5URRw

Carpenter Brut. Moving on to the darker stuff. Got to see this dude live with some dudes for the performance. Nasty, and pulse pounding. https://youtu.be/Uk3n-CkQao8. https://youtu.be/ZhhQrFfzFM4

Last, but certainly not least, Perturbator. Gone full evil, but damn it feels good. https://youtu.be/RY66fdMt4vc. https://youtu.be/BvUkROjv1U4.

There are many more artists, and many differing opinions. Please feel free to share more suggestions to raise awareness and encourage conversation. I only made the post to get more people interested in the genre. Please, bring the noise.
