Guise,

Dance with the Dead posted a clip of their new album on their Facebook page.

Unrelated, when I discovered Perturpator's Miami Disco and Sexualizer are on the same EP (Sexualizer), I bought it without a second thought. James Kent is becoming my favorite synthwave artist.

Those two are among some of my favorite songs from Perturbator. Meet Jimmy is great as well.

Perturbator, Dance With The Dead and Carpenter Brut are the top three synthwave artists imo.

Finally bought Trilogy. After listening to it for a while, I can say it's my favorite synthwave album. I can't really pick a favorite track.
 
Does anyone know the Stoned Presidents?

I'm not sure if a stoned president would make a good leadership figure, but these guys make good 80 synth music at least.

Here's their newest track Hotspot. It's really good. But don't take my word for it, you don't even know me. Just listen for yourself:

Technomancer, another good one:

Also, Funktown:

And some more stuff, just check it out for yourself!
 
Going to give it a listen on Spotify now :D

Nice list of remix artists too.

EDIT: The Hegemon, SO FUCKING GOOD.

Album is golden, only Kitsune is a weak track.

Love it when bigger artists put their money in this, you can clearly hear the high quality tech and vocals in play. It's not recorded in a basement with a gaming headset :D

Sorry guys, but Carpenter Brut's EP II is a dud. I can't think of a good song on there other than Roller Mobster. And who wouldn't like that song? As for the rest...

I've come to the realization that 80s music is probably my favorite era of pop music. Yet, I haven't really listened to as much as I would like. I'd like to catch up on most of the major songs during that period. Suggestions for playlists or whatever?

well, i guess you were banned, probably for this clearly wrong opinion :E

Just wanted to dime in and say:

Meet Matt Stryker - probably even better than Roller Mobster!
Looking for Tracy Tzu and Sexkiller on the Loose - Both great!
