Awesome. Thanks for the heads up Channel5News Listening now. Edit : ehhh. Not much to that imo beyond the great opening track.

I need a full release from Bluefixxer. This is a great single.
I'll just start this myself, it's the song of the day! Mitch Murder - Lit
It's a beautiful day here to start the weekend, hope you are able to get out and enjoy it wherever you are.
Moonrunner83's album 'Hearts on Fire' still seems to have some tapes in stock for sale. https://moonrunner83.bandcamp.com/album/hearts-on-fire
Also, because I'm checking it out right now, a new album from Vampire Step-Dad has a cassette available. https://vampirestepdad.bandcamp.com/album/the-sun-also-sets edit: meh... it's ok.
dude, that Moonrunner83 album is perfect, exactly what i was looking for. the Vampire Step Dad drop is pretty good too. thanks so much!
Having grown up with Amigas, old game and demoscene music this is some dope stuff I just found. Dreamliner is just a week old or so, the albums both from this year (at least on Spotify).
Bloody brilliant.
WOW. This is fantastic, listening to 'Tales from a Lost Universe Part 1', and this is INCREDIBLE. Thanks for sharing!!!
Heh, np.
Seriously, it's like some hidden gem being found. He only has 75 followers on FB, but the stuff he makes is better than a lot of those having tens of thousands.
Hope he can get the audience he deserve. Havn't listened fully on part 2 yet, but so far it's as good as part one. Definitely AOTY material.
I wonder if that Perturbator/CDPR thread will get some new eyes on this thread.
Just finished and going back to some tracks. Man this is really f'n good. Part 2 after lunch! And yes, just see barely 1000 monthly listeners on Spotify. Just a reminder that is still a niche genre and marketing yourself is still hard to do. If he's on Twitter I'll be sure to tweet a thanks for the albums.
I need to listen to them a couple of times more, but I think I like part 1 a bit more as a whole. Although, part 2 has my favorite track of the two albums: Frequenzy Lost.
I just came to edit my post to say Part 2 is kicking ass too. Production seems a little bouncier. Loving it! Great stuff, thanks again for posting.
If I am to guess, this is someone who has made the tracks during some time now and finally decided to share them to the public, creating Surge with it. Hence so many tracks released in a short time and as you said bouncier production.
Also, don't forget the non album releases. :) 'Battle scars' he mentioned was experiment and those two tracks aren't really my thing, but the other tracks are as good as the album's.
Akuma II and Galactic Punks were probably my favorite of the bunch but those Surge albums were pretty good. Generally speaking I don't tend to like the straight up 80s sounding pop stuff like Be Kind Rewind/Moonrunner but they weren't so bad today. Preferred Starunner.
I tend to like the more dystopian cyberpunk-is synth wave like Perturbator/Gost/Irving Force/Mega Drive, etc.
My synth wave AOTY so far is still DEADLIFE's Orphan, though. Really loved that one.
My hope is when I share something is that I simply get a reply, lol. Know there are varied tastes here, and I tend to mostly share the pop sounding stuff, but I do like plenty of the heavier/darker stuff too, depends on my mood too. It's summer time, so I want summer time music :) I'd call myself a metalhead, but it's interesting that I remember loving 80's music before it even registered to me. One of the earliest songs I can remember getting stuck in my head is "Pop Goes The World", which apparently came out in 87, when I was 5.
Keep sharing it all man!
I think summer plus the Stranger Things excitement and stuff had me liking the pop vibe more than usual yesterday.
I'm more of a metal head most days, too. Never got too much into actual 80s music either. One of my big blind spots in music.
I wonder if that Perturbator/CDPR thread will get some new eyes on this thread.
Anyway, some badass darksynth for y'all (not sure if posted before):
