Quoting myself because I basically have this song on repeat. Amazing track.
Kidburn bringing some rocking tracks, just discovering this today.

Wow, this is incredible! Cannot wait for more. Currently diving into YORU bandcamp and so far everything is top notch.
The Abyss pointed out this album on twitter from Viperdrive, and it's really damn good.

Hmmm.. was going to post a video of a track I really like.. "Weekend in '88".. and watching.. it sure seems near identical to a Kidburn track "Alone' which I posted a bit ago...Both from the official youtube channels of each, curious what the source is.

I've been spinning Bart Graft's "Modern Life" LP several times since I got it; amazing new wave sound:
Channel5News I'm sure I tried to get into Bart Graft before, and didn't click with me. A case of quality over quantity maybe, there's just so much stuff he's put out. However, listening to the latest, "Worlds Apart", and it sounds like a Steve Vai album so far! Enjoying this.
New single from Kalax is great as well.

Yeah, Bart Graft is as prolific as SLA Dreams, so he's intimidating to dive into. "Modern Life" is great, as is "Self-Portrait I." I've also heard his "Go For Broke" album described as "SNES Sim City-like", so...
That Viperdrive album is a good listen, thanks for that! Also lately been listening to KillStarr

Worlds Apart (... same name as that Bart Graft album I mentioned earlier.. wacky!) is solid for sure. I love the track Sunset Paradise.
Haha I had this track recommended to me by YT last week. Really solid, with an original take on the genre. Please give your friends my compliments.
Thought the new FM-84 track would show up on Spotify today but it hasn't.
But something that did was a new surprise album by Trevor Something. No, not Cry Baby (it still isn't on Spotify)...
Just a quick listen, very melodi stuff. More akin to his older stuff than some of the newer. Need to listen to it a couple of times more, but really nice surprise.
Edit: starting to think this is up there close to Synthetic Love. Definitely one of his best albums.
Edit2: Also...
Edit3: wow, keep finding some stuff that wasn't, strangely, on my release radar. This will be an awesome album when it's released.

Just got around to listening to Cry Baby and wow that might just be my favorite Trevor Something related project since... well since Ultraparanoia really, but beyond that probably my favorite since Doesn't Exist. What a cohesive EP of tracks, I'm surprised it wasn't released under the Trevor Something name.
Bots Don't Cry sounds like Soulless Computer Boy Part 2. It's alright, back to the more synthwave brand Trevor, though can't help but feel it's a much less daring and exciting album than Ultraparanoia was. I guess this album has the advantage of being completely unheard tracks rather than Ultraparanoia which was drip fed for a year (and didn't even include Playin' Me, the best track), but people who like the vintage sound will probably like it.

I'm looking for more fusions of hip hop and synthwave. Examples:
Pyramid (ft. Willy Wesly) - The Phoenix
Kavinsky (ft. Havoc) - Suburbia
Hood Internet - Nuthin' but a Journal Thang

Anyone here into Magic Dance? I've been trying to find their best stuff after hearing "Another Life, Another Time."
Still Haunting Me is a good track off Vanishings. Their two albums are pretty consistent.
I need to listen to the new album New Eyes a bit more, but Vanishings is a great album.
Oh hey, I didn't even know that they did a 2018 album. Time for a listen.
Stereogum was raving about a group called Fatamorgana and their new album Terra Alta. I decided to check it out and it's so good. It's all I've listened to this week. If this album catches on, they're going to be huge. It's all in Spanish but don't let that deter you. It's fantastic. Whole album is streaming on YouTube and other typical streaming services.
Ooh that's sexy. The LED Flamingo is the Lava Lamp of our community, lol.
Yeah I posted about Powercyan awhile ago and wondered if anyone noticed how much it rocks. New single came out a bit ago (Powergrid II), wonder if a new album is coming soon.
Anyone have any good chillwave recommendations? I found a couple of mixes on Youtube, and I like it better than the heavy/dark synth stuff.
For example, stuff like this:
