More EIGHTIES than the 80s itself #3

29th December 202029th December 2020 Atroxity

The xmas season is also a season of traditions and retro vibes. So I found it suitable to end this year with a couple of great new synthwave pop tracks, before we kick off the new year right after New Years Eve.
See you in 2021! Continue reading More EIGHTIES than the 80s itself #3

Synthwave Tuesday: Three for the melodies

28th April 202028th April 2020 Atroxity

We have a quite non-melodic focus here on this music blog. We like the dark, non-vocal, deep and clubby vibes here. Synthwave is our excuse to break out of that pattern and salute the overly melodic creations. Continue reading Synthwave Tuesday: Three for the melodies

Throwback Tuesday: Double power-pop time!

3rd February 20203rd February 2020 Atroxity

It’s been a while since I paid the synthwave scene a visit, so it’s about time. And this time I’ve found two tracks that have quite a lot in common. And of course: Very, very eighties. Continue reading Throwback Tuesday: Double power-pop time!

Happy Holidays: A retro moment with an excellent synthwave track

23rd December 201923rd December 2019 Atroxity

This time of year is all about traditions and looking back. So in the lack of a real xmas track (there’s far between those in the electronica world) I have chosen a really retro one instead. Continue reading Happy Holidays: A retro moment with an excellent synthwave track

Throwback Thursday: Synthwave to the rescue!

12th September 20199th September 2019 Atroxity

Synthwave. Our guilty pleasure here at Beatradar. It’s not underground, not bleeding edge, not deep, usually not even that groovy. Still, I dig it. It’s my safe haven whenever I want some of that eighties charm. Continue reading Throwback Thursday: Synthwave to the rescue!

“What if…” – these were featured in an eighties soundtrack?

21st April 201922nd April 2019 Atroxity

In the eighties the music discoveries were pretty much limited to what we heard on the national TV and radio broadcasters.

Here’s three retrowave tracks that I could totally picture being featured in one of the TV soundtracks back then. What kind of scenes do you imagine seeing them in? Continue reading “What if…” – these were featured in an eighties soundtrack?

Double synth-pop Monday: Language Arts, “Against The Wind” & Skauss, “Father”

8th April 20198th April 2019 Atroxity

Today’s double feature contains two tracks that both are located somewhere in the cross-lands between Electro Pop and Synthwave.

One uplifting and feelgood track, and one darker, more alarming one. And both are worth hearing. Continue reading Double synth-pop Monday: Language Arts, “Against The Wind” & Skauss, “Father”

Millennium Falck, “Beat Drop”: Don’t drop this beat too soon

28th March 201928th March 2019 Atroxity

When it comes to dance music I keep harping on about that ever so important groove as the crucial ingredient. But here’s a track that’s almost too groovy. Yeah.

Continue reading Millennium Falck, “Beat Drop”: Don’t drop this beat too soon

Klangplanet, “Utopia”: Synthpop meets house

6th March 20195th March 2019 Atroxity

Yesterday I picked a track that was intentionally very retro. Today I got a track that also have clear roots backwards, but without as obviously trying to be retro.

Funky, playful guitar riffs breaks the otherwise quite cold synth landscape, a very welcome detail. All in all a track that I find a bit hard to categorise, but easy to enjoy! Continue reading Klangplanet, “Utopia”: Synthpop meets house
