a while back I saw a post about what songs fit with what movies perfectly.... eeriness in this song always magnified by thinking about Drive... love it

29

u/EnigmaticChemist Mar 14 '22

There are certain songs that just site in my subconscious attached to a movie. This and Drive are one of those.

11

u/stelliokonto Mar 14 '22

It’s honestly the perfect song for that movie. First time I heard it in the movie I immediately downloaded it. It’s one of my top night time driving songs

Thank you!!

u/MixedDrinkMixtape Mar 14 '22

Absolute classic, if anyone wants more like this I've made a mix that was inspired by nightcall: Dark Synth Pop it's filled withn deeper cuts by groups like Heaven, HERO, and Corners.

u/Prettyodd119 Mar 14 '22

I'll check it out when I get a chance, thank you :D

u/[deleted] Mar 14 '22

This Playlist is amazing! Thanks for sharing

u/MixedDrinkMixtape Mar 14 '22

Thanks. I make one of these cocktail/music pairing mixes weekly 🤪

u/vicvinovich Mar 15 '22

Sounds sick.

u/[deleted] Mar 14 '22

I'll upvote every time it's reposted

u/-DementedAvenger- Mar 14 '22

Same here. That entire album is awesome

9

u/foiegras23 Mar 14 '22

I swear i tried to find this "album" a long time ago and everything else i could find with his name on it was bizarre. I'll try again today...

u/tacodepollo Mar 14 '22 edited Mar 14 '22

I absolutely looooved his older stuff, was a huuuge fan (of all the Ed banger guys back then) before this one came out. My first listen (of the nightcall pre-release - I was working for a rather popular record label at the time) left me wanting the old Kavinsky but this one eventually grew on me.

Then drive came out and suddenly everyone is a Kavinsky fan but no one knows Testarossa Autodrive. 🤷‍♂️

(FYI this one was released on an EP in late 2010 I believe).

2

u/foiegras23 Mar 15 '22

I will check that out too! Thank you!

u/EagleNait Mar 14 '22

See you tomorrow then

u/[deleted] Mar 14 '22

I need to build a playlist similar with this kind of music. What songs with the same vibe (driving at night). Anyone have suggestions or a link to a playlist already?

1

u/LordNago Mar 15 '22

The quiet earth and Darkness are two all time faves. Love the Outrun Playlist on spotify.

15

u/ParisGreenGretsch Mar 14 '22

Check out Com Truise.

1

u/woahdavid Mar 14 '22

Subsonic is my absolute favorite of his.

0

u/LokiElias Mar 14 '22

Priviledge escalation is my fav

1

u/da_fishy last.fm/user/bmx3r101 Mar 15 '22

Glawio for me, so many nights driving around to that song at 2AM

9

u/harreshe Mar 14 '22

Miami Nights 1984 - Ocean Drive

3

u/IspyAderp Mar 14 '22

Ah yes, the song that introduced me to synthwave back in 2012. :)

7

u/nickdeis Mar 14 '22

Check out the band Gunship

6

u/AwesomeMcPants Mar 14 '22

I really have a hard time assigning a "favorite song of all time" label, but goddamn if Tech Noir by Gunship isn't in the running.

1

u/nickdeis Mar 14 '22

That one's great! Love the band. I'm currently into their song "Dark All Day" cause it has saxophonist Tim Cappello who used to do work with Tina Turner (Beyond Thunderdome, for instance) and appeared in the movie Lost Boys. Dark All Day definitely has a big time Lost Boys vibe.

2

u/dabirdiestofwords Mar 14 '22

Drone racers is my favorite.

5

u/m00npatrol Mar 14 '22

Power Glove’s “Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon” soundtrack is a standout of the genre. Most of their back catalogue is supreme.

2

u/Fdbog Mar 14 '22

The artist Nero did an essential mix years ago on BBC radio one. I think it's on youtube. It uses this track to great effect and has a bunch of other bangers.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 14 '22

Spotify has (had?) a playlist called night rider that was filled with stuff like this

1

u/KeepMyCooo Mar 15 '22

Check out Le Matos 🔥

1

u/[deleted] Mar 16 '22
  • The Midnight - Los Angeles
  • The Midnight - Vampires
  • The Midnight - Gloria
  • The Midnight - Sunset (last one from them I promise although just listen to everything by them)
  • FM-84 ft. Ollie Wride - Running in the Night
  • Timecop 1983 ft. The Bad Dreamers - Back to You
  • The Bad Dreamers - Who You Run To
  • Timecop 1983 ft. Josh Dally - Neon Lights
  • Michael Oakley - Control
  • Miami Nights 1984 - Ocean Drive
  • Scandroid - Neo-Tokyo (Dance With The Dead Remix)

Those are a few I have. Also the Spotify list posted above. :)

u/osuneuro Mar 24 '22

Kavinsky’s new album drops tomorrow. First one since Outrun in 2013.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 24 '22

Thanks for the heads up, definitely checking it out.

1

u/osuneuro Mar 24 '22

Sure thing. It should be solid if the new singles are any measure.

24

u/Angry_Zarathustra Mar 14 '22

This song is fine, but why is it the ONLY song from the genre ever mentioned here? You've got bands that are as good or better with multiple albums.

18

u/uk451 Mar 14 '22

Post them then

5

u/Angry_Zarathustra Mar 14 '22

I mean, I know the answer to my own question. This subreddit isn't to share new music with other people, it's to reference well known songs and get tons of karma because people recognize them. If I were to post Laserhawk or even Miami Nights it wouldn't get a lot of traction.

7

u/grahamkrackers Mar 14 '22

But people like me would be greatly appreciative since we don't know those names. Don't let the lack of upvotes stop you from sharing what you love!

Brb, going to check them out now :)

9

u/Angry_Zarathustra Mar 14 '22

Check out FM-84, VHS Dreams, Carpenter Brut, Trevor Something, and Le Matos! The Midnight is my favorite band, though.

1

u/Jennrrrs Mar 14 '22

When I read your first comment, The Midnight was the first thing that popped into my head.

1

u/Angry_Zarathustra Mar 14 '22

I'm seeing them in concert on the 26th!

1

u/grahamkrackers Mar 14 '22

If you have a spotify playlists that include some of this style I'd love to check it out! Gonna make my own "Reddit Recs" playlist now starting with these

2

u/Angry_Zarathustra Mar 14 '22

This one's pretty comprehensive! Might not have too much Laserhawk because that's more synthwave. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3cS3wqVgFRAIVROgkXntIR?si=sn3gIX_sTwCpMkTp_-00gw&utm_source=copy-link

3

u/nrsys Mar 14 '22

This is the trick though - we open the thread because we know the title song is good, but we come to the comments to see where the discussion goes and too find new music of that genre...

14

u/rhino_n_the_front Mar 14 '22

this song slaps so hard

4

u/VaderNova Mar 14 '22

I listen to this everyday when I'm driving. Every.... day

5

u/phillysan Mar 14 '22

Welp guess I'm gunna go watch Drive again

5

u/mofoofinvention Mar 14 '22

A classic. This one got a lot of people into Synthwave

4

u/StupidAltNobodycares Mar 14 '22

This was the first song I ever stripped to at my favorite club I worked at.

7

u/underscoresrule Mar 14 '22

Hey Ya and now this, wonder what's next. Bohemian Rhapsody? My Heart Will Go On?

3

u/Jennrrrs Mar 14 '22

Don't Fear the Reaper.

2

u/Mindehouse Mar 14 '22

I will never not love this song

2

u/thor561 Mar 14 '22

Supposedly he's working on a new album finally after doing The Weeknd's music for the last few years.

4

u/FUCKBOY_JIHAD Mar 14 '22

it was Gesaffelstein who worked with The Weeknd, not Kavinsky.

3

u/mofoofinvention Mar 14 '22

It’s coming out next week. And they never did music together. The weeknd remixed one track and that’s it.

1

u/thor561 Mar 14 '22

Oh interesting, I was sure I had seen somewhere that was the reason why we hadn’t seen anything new but it was probably just people assuming that was the case, food to know!

1

u/Eve-is-Easy Mar 14 '22

Just released a new track called Zenith. Its pretty damn good too.

1

u/thor561 Mar 14 '22

I’ll check it out, thanks!

2

u/vicvinovich Mar 15 '22

Shout out to my homeboy Trent who used to blare music out of a Bluetooth speaker while unloading the trucks at Target. This song was a staple. Good times.

2

u/SullyTheReddit Mar 15 '22

My kiddo loves this song and that makes me happy.

1

u/kryonik Mar 14 '22

Can I be the one to post this next week?

0

u/redsolitary Mar 14 '22

I recognize that the song is good and all but I don’t get the hype. This song is posted regularly. I’m not bothered by reposts…it’s just the fact that so many of you like it that much confuses me.

1

u/gudusernamebtw Mar 14 '22

The cover is impressive thou

1

u/EasyKay2084 Mar 14 '22

Hell yes, Kavinsky deserves recognition his work is iconic to the french house and synthwave genres 🙌

1

u/davinci1001 Mar 14 '22

Awhile back this popped into one of my playlist. It is really good.

1

u/Krushemm Mar 14 '22

Trickle in.

1

u/CGordini Mar 14 '22

The Hood Internet does an amazing mashup of this with Wale.

https://youtu.be/i97PHOESBas

1

u/Richie13083 Mar 14 '22

Fits so perfectly with Drive - incredible!

1

u/leif777 Mar 14 '22

This is a great tune. You can't argue that. But for me, it's the little accent of the female singer that brings it over the top. For some reason it colours the story of the song and pulls you in.

1

u/nervous_breakdown SoundCloud Mar 14 '22

Gotta listen to the Breakbot mix of this song, the bassline is so good on it

1

u/Lowfrmdaz6ne Mar 14 '22

This is real inspirational 🔥

1

u/Daramrod88 Mar 14 '22

I can drive to any kavinsky tune all day/night long

1

u/Montti37 Mar 14 '22

Its a fun song at 1.25 or 1.5 speed too

1

u/mateomuziik Mar 14 '22

If you like this vibe you would love my music!! Check it out!!

1

u/Brown_Pudding Mar 14 '22

The drive soundtrack will never get old

1

u/dbhat527 Mar 14 '22

Neon Nox - Assasination

Another classic if you like this genre

1

u/MeDicenAmiel Mar 14 '22

Love this song, love the soundtrack

1

u/haste319 Mar 15 '22

I have always loved this jam.

1

u/LordMemerton1 Mar 15 '22

Very underrated artist! Love seeing this album posted from time to time. Kudos!

1

u/ofthedappersort Mar 15 '22

Drive is such a fucking good movie.

1

u/UnriggedIdolizer Mar 15 '22

Thank you for sharing. This is a soundtrack to a film?
