[Thor Joachim Haga]

Glad you’re latching on to synthwave, Ruslan! It’s a rabbit hole to get lost in, for sure, but in a positive way. I mentiond Waveshaper to you earlier (my favourite synthwaver), hope you got to check him out. Or the other major acts of the genre.

I think once you have proper overview of the actual synth music from the 70s, 80s and 90s – which I know you have – you can start exploring all these new synthwave artists that pay tribute to the periods. It’s very rewarding, as they add a certain ‘oomph’ and smoothness to the retro stylings. I think darkwave is my favourite sub genre of synthwave, if I were to pick just one.
