Change of Heart: remember those Saturday afternoon dance shows? I'll never be able to dance like these people, but that's ok.

I didn't expect to find such a topic here. :smile:

This genre came to my attention with the premiere of 'Drive' and since then it became my second favourite. The Synthwave/Outrun scene churns out much more palatable music than anything the mainstream can come up with. I'm glad that we have a new trend that's actually enjoyable. The 80's were a fascinating decade full of new ideas both in music and film. People finally forgot about all that was camp about it and realised it had some pretty cool stuff in offer too.

My personal favourites are everything from Italians Do It Better label, especially Chromatics's 'Night Drive' and simply wonderful 'Kill For Love'. Mitch Murder and Miami Nights 1984 are also great. Then you have countless others selling their music on Bandcamp.

There is a youtube channel similar to NewRetroWave and that is LuigiDonatello which is more faithful to the genre I think.
