Lemon Crush” is the spiritual successor to “Cherry Crush. Jesse explains its simple story:

“The title track was born almost by an accidental ‘eureka’ moment in the studio when I was working on the original “Cherry Crush” track. I had soloed some of the arpeggios and they sounded incredible just on their own and then another melody line entered my mind, I quickly added that and a few more sounds and this alternate version of “Cherry Crush” was created.

“It had a special feeling about it so I quickly made a 3 minute loop of just the main melody section. I saved this file as “Lemon Crush” for fun and kept it in my rather large “work in progress” folder and went back to finishing “Cherry Crush”.

“After the “Into the Night” album I thought I should finish it together with some other tracks I had rough sketches for which were on a much more uplifting ‘summer’ vibe.

“Additionally when working on the “Cherry Crush” artwork I’d saved some other photo options of the model and it made sense to make a follow up EP package and here we are today… .”

JNNY COBRA DEBUT ALBUM DISCO AGGRO SESSIONS

Just dream and enjoy ♥

Dream Machine is Barcelona-based retrowave duo The Last Concorde’s sophomore album. Like their debut, this album is packed to the rafters with smooth and uplifting Mediterranean dreamwave. The Last Concorde channel equal amounts from acts like M83 and Timecop1983 while keeping their songs and sound very much their own.

The year is 21XX. Killstarr must embark on a quest which will thrust him across the galaxy, where he will be confronted with a series of challenges in order to re-unite with his lost lover, worlds apart.

Inspired by the sound, aesthetic, and nostalgia of the ’80s, Killstarr infuses his signature touch into a dreamy, cinematic, neon-soaked synthwave journey, dripping with nostalgia.

Dive in the heart of nostalgia and find AWITW aboard his time machine to travel time to 2017, the year of release of his album Mirage, where the flagship track called Last Days Of Summer was the start of a long adventure. Here is a reworked version!

“Azure … gentle warm breeze, lapping waves, birdsong, tropical heat, cocktails, palm tree shade, coconut sun lotion, tanned legs, cicadas and warm sand beneath your feet.”

Includes unreleased bonus track “Wired In”

New York-based synthwave/italo disco duo, Bunny X, released their highly anticipated first full-length album, “Young & In Love,” on October 5, 2021 through Aztec Records.

Taking inspiration directly from 1980s John Hughes classics such as The Breakfast Club and Sixteen Candles, Bunny X (Abigail Gordon and Mary Hanley) created “Young & In Love” as a concept record oozing with nostalgic and youthful themes such as young love, first crushes, teen angst and anxiety.

“We wanted to take our listeners back to a time when music connected with us in a passionate and relatable way,” says Abigail. “These tracks pay tribute to what made 80s music so special - the fact that it was delivered in an earnest and unironic way.”

The retrowave 10-track list of “Young & In Love” brings Bunny X together with Synthwave stalwarts Sellorekt/LA Dreams and Don Dellpiero, NYC-based producer Gosteffects and GRAMMY Award-winning engineer, Tony Lake.

Bunny X has been electrifying stages with their live performances in NYC and beyond for nearly a decade. The duo have released Italo disco and 80s-inspired music throughout their career, including two EPs and numerous singles, but the pair have yet to realize an LP-length collection, until now.

JNNY COBRA’s sophomore album Straight Ballin’ The Left Hand Path is a metal infused, sample-ridden love letter to the late eighties B-Boy movement!

“Killstarr began his journey in the Synthwave community releasing his EP “Memories” in 2014, and going on to release his first Album “Worlds Apart” in 2018.

Killstarr will continue his galactic travels with the release of his new album “Transmissions” - featuring 14 tracks of pure euphoric sonic alchemy.

While consistently featuring his distinct punctuation and flare - Killstarr’s sound has evolved from classic new 80’s synthwave, to explorative and refined ambient, dystopian and multidimensional musical expressions and interpretations.

This new album as a whole is a progressive journey through the transmissions within the Killstarr universe. It features full sized tracks as well as short transitional pieces. 
 This project will have you riding sensational waves, magnetising you towards the anchoring beat - drawing energy directly from the Killstarr universe, while other tracks will transport you through beautifully melodic and ambient dream states where you feel like you can pull up a bean bag, ascend into the 8th dimension and stay for a while.

Transmissions is an album you want to take the time to sit with to experience the full bodied journey that it can take you on. By grounding into the soundscapes, you receive an expansive inner space in which you can visualise, meditate, contemplate and allow yourself to relax into a cloud of sensation and let the frequencies and sound waves draw you in to the timeless, spaceless stream of pure consciousness and existence itself.”

Transmissions features some easter eggs hidden within, including an image encoded into the audio (which can be revealed by loading the audio file into an audio spectrogram) as well as some other messages embedded in morse code.

A huge thanks goes out to all of my friends and fans from all around the globe. I am eternally grateful for your love and support.

Transmissions is entirely self-released and self-promoted. Thank you so much for supporting independent music.
