Yeah fuck it I'm going to the NJ Human Music 2017 event. I can't pass on some of those bands.

it truly seems amazing, a proper synthwave festival :D

and the price is not that bad when you consider how many artists there are per day, all awesome too so you are not paying for random warmups you don't care at all.

Any fans of second-wave electro artists in here? I'm thinking of the likes of Drexciya (+ Drexciyan spinoffs), I-F, Legowelt, Luke Eargoggle, etc. I've been DJing for a few years now and this is definitely my primary genre of interest - I'm sure it stems from my dad playing me Kraftwerk as a young lad!

Some of the more current / newer electro artists I'm into are Cliff Lothar, Objekt, 214, and Gesloten Cirkel, just off the top of my head.

What are some good artists with vocals? I listened to alot of synthwave on spotify, but rarely with vocals.

I'm looking for something like the vocal songs from Drive.

About Meteor's new album.

Thought it was ok, for me it's definitely inferior to Parallel Lives by a mile.
My favourite songs are Beyond the Stars and Indelible Shadow.

Will listen again to see if i feel a bit better about it.

Think Dynatron: The Rigel Axiom is my current favorite album. It is one of the most atmospheric albums I've ever listened to.

Everything he's done is gold.

Rigel Axiom's best track, for me, is The Unknown. Some of the sweetest melodies I've heard.

What's a song that you all can listen to and every time you're like, 'yep, this is fuckin sick'.

For me, one of them is

(Mega Drive - Maniac)

This song embodies pretty much everything I like about the genre. Great synth melodies, dark as hell, and everytime I hear it I think of crazy shit. Love it.

Miami Nights 1984 - The Getaway
Lazerhawk - King of the Streets
Perturbator - Technoir (feat. Noir Deco)
Dance with the Dead - Robeast
Dan Terminus - Cherenkov Blue Overdriver
Volkor X - This Means War
