The purest Aryan beats traced back to the brightest MCs of the Reich science!

To be honest, synthwave indeed seems to be predominantly white music, but more in the sense of polo shirts or ice hockey - other cultures just go "white people" and roll their eyes. Metal used to be in that shelf and it took decades of popularization to change that. Turning it into a white pride thing is hilarious and kind of ironic, considering that the beginnings of the synth resurgence are tied to some pretty culturally compromised anime nerds. But when you're in that kind of crowd, I guess you just gotta look for any banners to rally behind. Maybe the next callsign of the altright could be white socks in sandals!

This is a bit of a weird one, as I wouldn't really describe it as 'synthwave'; it's more or less metal that substitutes guitars with synthesizers. It's pretty neat though :o

i was waiting for these. "Cosmo Black" is fucking ace space synth. the other two EPs are lush, beautiful outrun. i wish Starforce would collect their singles too, i played the shit out of a collection of their non-album stuff back when i first got into synthwave like four years ago.

^Videos like these make me love the internet just a little bit more.

[Orchid87]

Love this album. Too bad their other stuff is not as strong.

[Katamori]

Holy shit, I'm in heaven.

I think at this point I'm pretty sure I want to get a synthwave-inspired soundtrack for the game I'm developing. Ever since I've been exposed to Power Glove, I've been listening to synthwave artists non-stop.

New SurgeryHead release! Been waiting for this one for a while now. It's important to note that SH goes hard at times; fans of GosT should enjoy it : )

My personal favourites on here would have to be "Hunt" and "Demanufacture".

[Walter confetti]

Totally agree, awesome album!
Expect for malware that is messy madness.

Dayum. I have to be honest and break the synthwave rank here, I keep going back to The Colony. I did not expect the track going full retard breakcore, this is outrageous and by this I mean my erection.

Just found this via Spotify recommendations. I am the bliss.

I know very little about this genre, but I do know that Perturbator are pretty amazing.

Sweet! Gotta love Lazerhawk, they're the king of the streets!

(edit: very cool stuff so far! Very groovin and chillax, track 6 Hypnic sounds the most like classic synthwave we post in this thread so far. But I love the experimentation/different flavors, keeping it fresh. Sounds very different from his other albums to me.

My fav artist in the scene, tied with Kavinsky)

[Walter confetti]

a catchy album with cinematic track inspired upon zombie mythos and movies:

Hands down best album of 2017!

[Turbo Saber]

I was curious and searched "vocaloid synthwave" on YouTube and I found this.

I quite like it.

[AD_79]

There is never enough darksynth. Here's "Sigils" by Vulta, which I happened to find today after it being released five days ago. Available at 'name your price' :)

And damn, look at that album art:

Oh yes. I've listened to the entire thing at least eight times already. It's wonderful, and very meditative and dream-like, which perfectly fits the album-title. Or I guess it should be the other way around. :)
