NINA x Radio Wolf

Here's some dreamy new synth pop (emphasis on the pop) from Berlin-based artists NINA and Radio Wolf.  Dig on the wistful '80s haze of "The Ghosts of Prom Night" below and grab the "Jukebox Dream Vol. 1" LP here from NewRetroWave.

STRNGR & Destryur

If i'm not listening to at least a little spooky synth wave today, is it really even Halloween?  Check out the latest faux horror soundtrack thing full of eerie beats and terrifying techno from STRNGR and Destryur, "Night at the Grindhouse: Part II."  Listen to "Back to the Grind" below and pre-order one of the many different formats of the album here from NewRetroWave.

ORAX

I know we're only in the middle of August, but i'm already starting to feel those early fall vibes.  It could be because school has already started here, or the unseasonably cool summer we've had, or that football is right around the corner, but my autumn nature in nigh.  And that means Halloween.  So what better way to get a jump start on those feelings than with some soundtrack and video game inspired synth wave from ORAX.  Check out the thumping churn of "Mistake" below and pre-order the upcoming "Love Kills the Demon" album here from NewRetroWave.

ALEX and Tokyo Rose remixed by Power Glove

Here's a whole lot of synth wave with Power Glove remixing ALEX and Tokyo Rose's "Mean Streets."  Check it out below and get it here on the "Akuma II (The Remixes)" LP from NewRetroWave.

DEADLIFE

NewRetroWave, purveyors of all things synth wave, just released "Orphan," the latest album from synth wave artist DEADLIFE.  The record combines retro '80s synth pop and darkwave to weighty, delirious effect.  Listen to "Nothing Left But Pills" below and download the album here.

Wolf Club

It's cold and rainy in Central Texas today, and i'm feeling totally cheated that it's not 10 degrees colder, because then there'd be snow and ice everywhere, and i wouldn't be at work.  This are shuts down in ice situations.  And it sure would have been nice to hang out at home with my wife and the kids, goofing off.  But it was not to be.  At least Texas won last night.  Anyway, here's some dreamy synth pop from Wolf Club to warm things up a little until i can get home and make a fire.  Listen to the summer ready "Infinity" below and get the album of the same name here from NewRetroWave.

ALEX & Megan McDuffee

We've dug on the synth wave pop of ALEX around these parts before, and now the artist has a collaborative album out this month with Megan McDuffee providing the vocals.  "Hero" is a dreamy, pulsing score to a video game that doesn't exist...or maybe it does, i don't know...i'm not a gamer.  Anyway, listen to album opener, "Quest," below, download or pre-order the record here via NewRetroWave, and stock up on lives, or energy gems, or whatever it is.

ALEX

Though it came out back in February, the folks over at NewRetroWave are putting out synth pop maestro ALEX's "Youth" EP on vinyl.  You can pre-order now, with the record coming out sometime early next year.  Listen to the Rachel McAlpine assisted "Rebel of the Night" below.

Magnatron 2.0

Stupid retro techno synth...i just can't help myself.  The good folks over at NewRetroWave Records have bequeathed us a pretty bitchin' compilation of synthwave and retro techno artists called "Magnatron 2.0."  Listen to "Dystopia" by ALEX below and grab the album in various formats here.
