MennoinSF Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 Hi everyone, Is any of you in to Synthwave music? I have discovered it about a year ago, and haven't listened practically to anything else. It really reminds me of the Jan Hammer music. Also they have amazing cool sounding artists such as: Miami Beach Patrol, Crockett, Miami Nights 1984 etc. Here are a couple of examples of songs/albums I love: I think 'Crockett' is my favorite artist (must be the name) and I also love Morgan Willis's album Miami Calling. If you guys are also into this, please share your favorite songs/artists. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadrian Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 This band is great. This video/song is everything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MennoinSF Posted October 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 Yep the midnight is good also. I do prefer the synthwave music without lyrics most of the time actually. And Dadrian: Big fan of yours! Your music is amazing and I wished it was available on Spotify so I could play it easier in my car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BunMVO Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 I love synthwave. I think that synthwave artists don't exploit Miami Vice nearly as much as they could for making content. But thankfully, it's deeply woven into the fabric of Miami Vice so it almost feels like a revival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators James Posted November 20, 2019 Administrators Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 I love Synthwave. Was introduced to it in 2011 with Drive, but didn't get into it until 2014. Pretty much the only music I listen to from this decade. I think Timecop1983 is my favourite artist of the genre. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerDurden389 Posted December 18, 2019 Report Share Posted December 18, 2019 I'll be here all day posting synthwave music (HUGE fan of the scene) so I'll just start with one artist who definitely channels some heavy Jan Hammer vibes: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadrian Posted December 18, 2019 Report Share Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) @Peter Guja used to post here! Cool guy. I gotta share this one from The Midnight. I REALLY love these guys. One of them is from right here in Georgia—about 35 minutes from my town! Someone added some great Risky Business visuals to take it to the next level: Edit: oops I already shared that one earlier Try this one. KILLER sax solo!

Mr. Vigilante Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 This video sums up just about everything I love about this band. Found them 2 years ago and have bought both their albums. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Vigilante Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 Gunship "Dark All Day" Imagine a new version of Vice with a song like this starting things off. My mind races with possibilities!! This is an awesome video. Plus, Arzola from "Theresa" makes an appearance. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lit Up Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 I think most synthwave is generic and low quality - for 80s I go back to the source every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrockettOnTheShore Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 Hi all As above with retro-dades' excellent youtube channel, there's another one with loads of Synthwave (and more) set to Miami Vice visuals - well worth checking out for fans of both https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkIeRuug-5aYBT8CeMexEbQ/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Vigilante Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 As much as I'm against the idea of a reboot/remake of Vice, I have to say that this song would fit perfectly if they needed a song for the drive to meet Calderone. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MennoinSF Posted April 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 This song just screams Vice to me; and it is not just because of the artists name, although it helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
