Sellorekt/LA Dreams

The harderst working man in the synthwave bussiness must be Sellorekt/LA Dreams (he works so hard he needs just more than one name). His new 6 track EP called 'The Adventure Begins' sees him take off from Cape Canaveral into infinity and beyond. Cruisin' through the airwaves of forgotten nostalgic frequencies — it's not just any space mission really, more like a romantic flight to the stars with no holding back, pounding deep chords and swinging guitar licks.

Cobra Copter

Cobra Copter keeps dropping bomb after bomb. We're highly excited about this new yet mysterious name that keeps bringing us some great action packed gems. Filled with suspence and nostalgia, CC is swerving above the city and hangs in there to let his commandos parachute down into downtown metropolis. Here's a selection of some of his greatest tracks so far:

Cougar Synth

Cougar Synth is not only one of the best names in the current 80s synth wave scene, they also bring an easy breeze to the table that is totally hoods-down. Waving you a salute by the beach boulevard, they are catching a ride with none other than Palm /l\ Highway Chase and cruise into the night guided by the constellation of sweet synth dreams. Here's a selection of GS tunes, starting of with their brand new PHC collaboration.

Halloween Massacre 2013

Miami Cannibal Massacre Announcement

Coming soon on Playmaker in association with Buckface Records is a massive international 80s Horror Synthwave compilation for Halloween, the 'Miami Cannibal Massacre'. Comes with original artwork by Master Control Program. Check the flyers below for full line-up and more info:

Power Glove

Ride or die with this super dark and creepy low flow track by Power Glove for Halloween 2013. A awesome and intense cruising nightrider type of track; this Motorcycle Cop is some strange kind of fictional outrunning zombiewave. Be ready for he is coming for you, complete with leather jacket, a bloodstained mask, a badge and weapons.

Lazer Hawk

Predatory synth wave is on the move. Or has it been hiding under your bed all this time? This album takes it sweet time and is probably the darkest work of Lazer Hawk thus far. Long, creeping tracks prowl and stalk you to finally put their fangs in your neck and inject you with a cold venomous poison that gets you Dracula-high. Visions of skulls and sharks appear as megalodon skeletons display the ultimate visual trip. If Eddie from Iron Maiden produced synth wave than this might just be his black raven murder pact.

Rain Sword

On a nice hot evening, in the slipstream of summer heat, tropical vibes arouse when Rain Sword raises aloft. Bringing you in a dream state of low cut bikini babes winking as you flash by cruisin' in the breeze. Digital pan flutes swoosh like waves on the sand while peaches and coconuts crash on the ground like splashing crash cymbals. Rain Sword doesn't fail to impress with his debut album so... Name your price!

Dedderz

Get your cyberpunk boots strapped and stomp around with the Dedderz. This is the Bio-Punk Indentity Kit, a hairsplitting and ear chewing collection of necro-romantic songs from the afterlife, mangling mutated beats, rolling synth bass and cyborg vocals spiked with steaming industrial liquids glowing ultra green ooze... You know there really is no way out when the Dedderz are on the prowl.

Ogre

Ooh snap! It's OGRE bringin da 80's funk to an extreme kool level of intensity. May the bass be with you, young retro electronicats, and take a walk on the road less travelled. Clusterfunk is a stand-out EP with jawdroppin effect. We're loving the way this one travels and takes you on a journey from A to Z, funking your brain with stabs, pads, vocoders and some of the grooviest synth rock. It goes...all the way, baby.
