Early track release from upcoming EP......HANNAH!

So because this track brings a smile to my face and will hopefully be one of many when i finally release my first EP; i thought i would release it early just to give a taste of the synthesized sound meal i will be unleashing into the wild soon!
Oh and you can buy this track with the link below (top right shopping basket)

'Hannah is a futuristic love-instrumental, a robotic ballad! Keeping the feel of the track simple and clean it pays homage to the romantic side of the 80's style b-movie.'




Or listen/watch on Youtube;

...1989

A new 80s synthwave track to inject you with retrospective nostalgia!
This track is a culmination of a bunch of styles, effects, vsts, synthesizers and generally ways to make things sound 80's-tastic! So i hope you enjoy this nostalgic neon-noir funky brass and saw based beast!
Thanks to Darcaedus, ROBOTER, V.2follwers, SYNTHCAPETOWN, LUSH! & SnowmanΛGΗΔ for their helpful comments which turned this from a very basic track into its final form;

Neon-Noir; A synthwave story

Over the past week i have released 3 separate tracks, however they have all been around the same style and theme and accidentally have become a neon-noir post-apocalyptic story!

So here is each track and the bit of back-story for each one;

THE WALL
The ruins of a once vibrant city, surrounded by the only defense from the toxic out-lands. The Wall.






CATHEDRAL
Arriving in the town ablaze with violence and gunshot, our protagonist takes refuse in a run down Cathedral. Little does he know that this is the source of the mayhem, and now he has to fight to survive.





LIZA
Our Neon-noir protagonist; an soldier of fortune who returns home to rescue his ex-girlfriend who has been kidnapped by the leader of a biker gang. Nothing can hold them apart.

Is this real life or am i 'Tangerine Dream'ing??

Tangerine Dream are one of the founding artists of Synthwave and so as a homage to them i have created a remix of their track 'Canyon Voices'. My version is completely different to the original and what i have tried to do is give it a beefed up heavier/darker vibe complete with a few retrospective 80s synthesizers.

So here is the link to the track on Soundcloud;



And here is the link to a simple music video i have knocked together to go with the remix;




Let me know if you liked the track and stay tuned for more Synthwave creations soon!

Deadmau5 & Kaskade vs OCCAMS LASER

So i thought it was about time i stopped procrastinating and actually finished off my remix of 'I Remember' by Kaskade & Deadmau5. I tried to keep the original sound as well as adding my own 80s vibe, this was great fun to remix and a perfect challenge to remake from the ground up without cheating and using samples.
