Bought a lot of albums on bandcamp i think it's cool to stream unlimited music and if you like you buy it even if they have a fixed price or pay what you want that's what i really like about it.

New Droid Bishop album out on June 8th.

In the meantime, here's a smooth and sexy remix by September 87 for the new track:

In Your Love

I tried listening to Dan Terminus's album The Wrath of Code and it's just nowhere near Carpenter Brut's league.

I mean, I bought and downloaded it from bandcamp and I have some pretty good headphones but damn that album just sounds flat as hell. The bass and percussion just seem to have no bite at all. And while there are some really nice sounds on the album, the tracks themselves seem really disorderly, lacking the clear and satisfying chord progression you get in most of Carpenter Brut's stuff. By contrast some of the tracks on The Wrath of Code kind of meander as if made up as they went along.

Full disclosure: I feel similarly about Pertubator's first two albums. They have more cohesive chord progression but the production sounds flat to me, so it's most likely a question of taste and as usual I have a terrible musical vocabulary but I do my best.

The more i listen to Pertubator's and dan terminus albums the more i want more soothing 80's synthwave. I do not dislike them but overtime the harder style from it just makes it annoying.

Yeah, Dan Terminus is a little dull for me at times.

I'm still into Perturbator, though. I actually think some of his earlier stuff is even more interesting than his recent albums. Some interesting variation on like his older EP's.

The complaints about Perturbator just seem like incredibly hipsterish bickering to me. The production is incredible, especially on Dangerous Days and I am the Night. :V Dude's a legend.

Apparently its an unspeakable crime to not like Perturbator. His music is dull in my opinion. I'm hardly a synthwave snob either, I like pretty much every artist in this genre.

I agree on I am the night. Dangerous days not so much.

I simply can't stop listening to Early Summer by Miami Nights 1984. Any recs for other albums like this? Something lighter that invokes feelings of California and beaches in the 80s?

I'm the club producer of Flashback Future. Thought we needed a monthly clubseries on synthwave and been running that for two years now.

fake edit: and yeah, welcome! :D it's our biggest event yet and it's going to be awesome! Exclusive merch and great visuals top off the super lineup of artists.
Venue is an old industrial warehouse where we will have oilbarrels for tables, CRT TV's for visuals and a Funktion 1 soundsystem at max. /end commercial.

What are some recommendations if I like Perturbator, GosT, and Dan Terminus? Nothing had really grabbed me like some of their stuff.

OMG I'm already in love with both Carpenter Brut and Dance With the Dead, and I've only listened to just a few tracks. Those are some really good recommendations.
