Awesome.
I've checked out the first 45 minutes or so of Hotline Miami 2's soundtrack, great so far. Been awhile since I've played the first game but I want to go back and listen now, 2's soundtrack seems more varied. Untitled has almost a haunting sound to it, awesome opening. Other highlights so far are Voyager, Divide, and Hollywood Heights. HH might be the most legit 80s sounding toon out there lol.

Yeah the Hotline Miami 2 soundtrack is HUGE. Seriously non-stop awesomeness.
One of my favourites is actually El Huervo - Rust, bit of a hiphop beat as opposed to the more traditional 80s synth. But yeah, so many amazing tracks; M|O|ON, of course Megadrive, Mitch Murder, Carpenter Brut. Dope as fuck..
Love how surreal Untitled is, such a bizarre disconnect from the synths and ultraviolence. Brilliant menu music choice, really.
Bought Skull and The Night Prowler yesterday.
It was a bit of a mistake listening to them for the first time in the gym today. Had a stupid grin on my face the whole time, must have looked like a right lemon.
The guy on the previous page who said you know what it's like when you find something that's just your jam.. yeah, that's GosT.
Thanks for the links!

Hoping this Dust remix by Carpenter Brut doesn't go unnoticed. My jam for the last few days.

Thanks for the heads-up, quickly bought it via mobile even though I'm at work right now.
Donated to charity, of course.

I agree, but don't you count perturbator in there as well? I think those three stand out from the rest. A much darker sound that I really like.

And thanks to you and this thread, now I got introduced to Dance with the Dead as well.
Hotline Miami 2 really got me searching for more of this retrowave stuff and I think DwtD sound amazing, thanks! Loving this thread.reptilescorpio

Yeah Perturbator is my top synthwave/darkwave/whateveryoucallitwave artist follow by GosT, Dance with the Dead, Carpenter Brut and Dan Terminus (The Chasm is godly).
I'm in love with this album
http://dreamcatalogue.bandcamp.com/album/--18
It's definitely not synth pop or aggressive or anything like that. It's almost ambient really, but I think it fits here. Nice cyberpunk vibe.
Can anyone recommend artists/albums that are similar to this? Thanks!

Dat OGRE remix <3
Perturbator is one of my favorites. I think I've listened to I Am The Night about 9 bajillion times now.

Surprised this hasn't been posted previously. Scratch Massive's Nuit De Rêve (cover censored for the mod's sensitive eyes).
First heard a couple of the tracks featured on the cyperpunk game jam favorite The Last Night. The whole album has a dark French electro synth sound, very much in keeping with the thread and in complete contrast to the cover art.
Tracks worth hearing: Pleine Lune, Paris, Golden Dreams, Follow Me, and Secrets. 2 minute clips of each of the tracks here (Youtube is sparse).

I heard the instrumental of this many months ago. Usually I'm always really disappointed when vocals are added, but this one sounds fucking fantastic.

Lately I've been listening non-stop to Kristine's EP "The Deepest Blue".
It features three killer remixes by Bestrack, Miami Nights 1984 and Dance with the Dead.
Love it. It's a perfect 80's synth-pop hit. Vocals, rythm, everything.

Discovered another gem. Goes by the name po-one. Doesn't make much sense to me, but it doesn't have to. What's really important is that, while he hasn't released much, what he does have is pretty awesome.

So I've been wanting to make a synthwave remake of the Robocop (Gameboy Version) Title Theme for a while now. I've not listened to it properly since it was last used on Charlie Brooker's program about video games. But I finally got round to it!
I made this in one sitting last night, pretty much. Hope y'all like it!

So, I just discovered Perturbator, and holy fuck, this is excellent. Been streaming Dangerous Days, Nocturne City and Terror 404 straight. I'm amazed. What similar bands can I check?
