Le Cassette, Judge Bitch, Reznyck, Dan Terminus, all these guys put a lot of work into their music and have unique sounds. There's also GosT, who doesn't fuck around. Noir Deco is my favourite of the whole bunch. There is a small one that's not in good shape and has no real coherence, but it's still one-ha! It used to be good but now, for every Mitch Murder or Dance With The Dead there’s a hundred others who release the same clichéd ‘80s synthwave albums with horrible artwork or who release an album a week. I had one dude describe my stuff as "Cyber Doom New Wave.” Now we're talking!
If you Google ‘synthwave’ you'll find a lot of weird shit going from trance music to pop, so it's useless. I'm not really fond of genre names anyway. It seems like the general consensus on the name is ‘synthwave,’ but I think it sounds pretty bad. What do you call this excellent shit? Does ‘synthcore’ work? I believe what started it all was the French Valerie Collective founded in 2007 by College and pals.
Perturbator: I started four years ago but I know some dudes like Power Glove who've been doing similar sounds since around 2009. Noisey: You’ve been my gateway drug to a brave new world of synth music.
