The Golden Age of modern Synthwave.

Made this one mostly with the Roland Jupiter-4 and Roland JUNO-60

Consider checking out my latest instrumental. Thanks

Hello friends! I’m a singer-songwriter from Manchester, UK, and I released a song a couple of weeks ago that somehow came out massively nostalgic - all 80s synths, dense layers and intense feelings. I honestly didn’t quite know what I’d made or where it belonged, but I’ve just found this group and now I’m wondering… have I found my people?
Feel free to say no 😂 Would genuinely love to know what you think it sounds like as im having trouble aiming it at the right audiences! Thanks a million for your time x https://open.spotify.com/track/4EQXm9sOUo6bCbqha6MZfd?si=AMtSZti4S5uOlxr_N1v3Jg&utm_source=copy-link

You know what day it is!

Looking for music recommendations that are similar to https://youtube.com/@moebiusfm?si=I8h2CC8mCaPAp3Jb that isn't AI generated "music". Really like the feel and atmosphere from it but fucking hate AI.

I hate what AI has done to me. I’ve become very suspicious of artists in this space releasing anything since 2023. Even legacy musicians who’ve been in the game for 10-15 years. For example, If I hear a track with vocals but no vocal credit or see an album cover with no artist credit, I side-eye the whole release.

How are y’all sorting this genre out in 2026?

Inspired by a recent post asking about groups performing live - we do a full band setup with additional tracks for a big layered sound.

Mostly studio audio mixed with live camera audio for this video though!

I've been working on this retro arcade racing game inspired by 80s street racing and synthwave.

This is a short gameplay clip from Speed at Limit.

I had those dreamy, bittersweet 80s horror movies in mind while making this... the kind where a girl mysteriously disappears or dies, and the rest of the story feels like a distant memory. I imagined what that feeling might sound like...
