The G "Pacific Coast EP" (synthwave/retrowave)

Post by The_G »

Just released an EP of synthwave/retrowave (for those who don't know, that's electronic dance music mixing 80s cliches with modern production techniques). Since my background is in techno and house, these are more "DJ friendly" than a lot of stuff in the genre.

Here are the first two songs via soundcloud:





And the full release via bandcamp:

Thanks, guys! Yeah, I played Vice City to death back in the day, love Drive (great film) and am pretty deep into the synthwave scene now.

Do you know Makeup & Vanity Set? Different take on synthwave, but pretty much my favorite artist at the moment. Not much like my music at all, but from your posts it seems like you might like it...

Back street dirty drag queen synth pop, nothing too plastic.

Thanks, man! Yeah, synthwave/retrowave has a different logic from techno. Took me ages to acclimate to that. But it's a lot of fun!
