March and June , Indra – Love Lies
(Video)

“A new star has dropped down from heavens and is called; “Love Lies”. Prepare for a fascinating trip in space with “March and June”. Hot Electronic waves with some old-style touch and the super voice of “Indra” are capable to blow up your mind.”

-Nagamag.com

Nothing is lost. Nothing is created. Everything is transformed. Love turns into bubbly electro pop-dance synths, tears of happiness morph into stardust and discoball reflections. Riding along the dusty guitar riffs we found Indra’s sensual tones.

Love Lies is March & June’s newest journey into the outer space, following the same musical path back into the glorious 80s’ decade. He doesn’t travel by himself: Indra, one for Romania’s up-and-coming musical talents joined the mysterious astronaut, bringing smooth, sensual colours to the mix.

Kebu – Fleeting Lights
(Video)

“Synthwave melody that is deeply inspired from a forgotten era. Organically pleasant keyboards sound and pleasant whisper of nostalgia. -Fleeting Lights- is the time to dream about the past.”

“Мелодия synthwave сильно окунает с головой в ушедшую, но так и не погасшую эпоху. Приятный проигрыш, органично звучащие клавишные и приятный шепот ностальгии. -Fleeting Lights- самое время для того, чтобы пофантазировать о былом. ”

-Nagamag.com

The synthesizer wizard Kebu is back with a second single from his upcoming third studio album “Urban Dreams”. Conceived during a time of lock-downs and people living in isolation in confined spaces, this instrumental album is exploring dreams – both those occurring during sleep and daydreams.

“Fleeting Lights” is a celebration of power ballads and soft rock beats from the eighties – essentially music that surrounded and influenced Kebu when he was young. Instead of being nostalgic or witty about it, Kebu executes the uplifting and optimistic track like the world never moved on past that decade. Again, Kebu is pushing the limits of what can be done with analog synthesizers – similar to Kebu’s earlier releases, this track – and his upcoming album – consist of a sound universe made only with analog synthesizers and analog drum machines. The synths used on “Fleeting Lights” are also featured in the music video. In addition to the original mix, the single contains also a shorter radio edit.

Ambientcloud – Drifter
(Spotify)

“Good music has always a great impact to us and we all have to do is just spot and listen to it. Here is a bright example from "Ambientcloud", simply too nice to resist and also mind soothing. The artist proves his talent in a single based on Chillwave synth waveforms with gradual progression and excellent build up.”

Arena – Fever
(Spotify)

“This will be a huge track that will be on every radio station and on every dance hall DJ’s playlist this summer. Superbly produced, expertly arranged, and full of beautifully symphonious vocal harmonies & orchestration, that blend seamlessly with the punchy, percussive makes you want to dance beat. ‘Fever’ by Arena is a well-balanced winner.”

-Nagamag.com

After picking up his first guitar at the age of 10, Joey Arena knew there was no “Plan B,” music is his purpose. Making friends with the road at the age of 17 and living one night at a time, the stages grew bigger as did the fans along the way. Arena grew up in a city of arts, Rochester, NY. The home to household names such as Lou Gramm and Steve Gadd; a geographical foundation in which he’d build a music career.

Mental Minority – Frontier
(Video)

“Where are we going and where are we now? Significant questions which we can’t easily answer. “Mental Minority” is calling for a journey in the depths of our existence. Are you ready to reach the frontier of your inner self? Just follow this sound and you’ll get one step closer to the divine.”

Mental Minority is a one-man electronic music project from Bremen, Germany. I´m creating music under this name for more than 20 years now, for the last nine years mostly in the Synthwave/Retrowave genre – often melancholic, sometimes light-hearted and sometimes dark, always trying to avoid the too obvious cliches of the genre but keeping it more…personal.

My music was featured by almost all the influential Synthwave channels on the web like New Retro Wave, The Prime Thanatos, Luigi Donatello, The 80s Guy…

Guytano – She Knows
(Spotify)

“One more intersting single is already available for our speakers. Original Synthpop sound followed by very emotional singing. We all know that music helps to communicate ourselves, but some really artistic talent is always needed to produce a high level song like "Guytano" did. ”

-Nagamag.com

The new single “She Knows” is set to release in early June, with Jon Gilmore (The 1975) mixing. This song embodies the excess of Vegas and tells the story of losing everything in sin city. From the music video to the album art, the aesthetic is overwhelmingly consistent with everything you’d find walking down ‘the strip

Limón Limón – Still In The Dark
(Spotify)

“A catchy indie pop tune with a distinct retro feel. Driven by a classic 808 drum machine & the warmth is provided by the Phill Colins like vocals & lush vintage synths. The guitar & bass also have that classic 80’s pop vibe. Extremely well produced, ‘Still In The Dark’ by Limón Limón will definitely appeal to lovers of the mainstream charts music of that era.”

-Nagamag.com

Limón Limón is back with “Still In The Dark” which recalls the end of a failing relationship, leaving both sides running from the pain of an eventual breakup. The song depicts a late night drive without a destination, lost in emotions, searching for the courage to move on. Heartfelt vocals are blanketed by the warmth of vintage synths, woven together with rhythm guitar and fueled by the beat of a classic 808 drum machine. LANY meets Phil Collins in this 80s inspired tune with an indie twist.

Maviii, Pete Rango – Time
(Spotify)

“With a current, meaningful narrative discussing the way our collective & personal perception of time has changed drastically in the past year. This sweet-toned song aptly entitled ‘Time,’ carries us along on a tide of emotion with a strong main melody, surrounded by engaging vocal harmonies and instrumentation.”

-Nagamag.com

Time has a funny way of playing games with our delicate minds. At times it can stand still, or feel like it's slipping away through our fingers. We created it, It's so valuable, and we all have a limited amount. When I was quarantined for 4 months alone time began to move in a way I have never experienced before. I was able to reflect on the parts of myself I wanted to change. This song encompasses what it feels like to navigate your life when time loses all meaning. To take cold showers to try and feel more present, to dance so you don't cry. Just like every challenge we face in this life, we grow through it.

80 Bubbles – Beyond Recall (Official Pre-release Video)
(Video)

“”Beyond Recall” has that favourite Synthwave taste of vintage ’80s style. Deeply sentimental song full of heartwarming lyrics. The artist works solo and inspired by sad feelings of a broken heart. Worthy music with personal attitude that has nothing to do with typical compositions.”

-Nagamag.com

80 Bubbles is a solo production of European singer/producer SilkZ. After participating in several indie genre groups now a debut single is out in 2020 with synth pop, slightly retro music style. First song Beyond Recall is reflecting feelings of breaking up with its sad, “hard to understand and let go” mood. The producer’s earlier songs are also usually touches sensitive topics like separation, loneliness and gloomy moods. The European composer is playing on several instruments however it’s mostly synthesizer based music with nostalgic taste of the 80’s embedded. The production’s name – “80 Bubbles” is also referring to this very special 80’s music era in which mysterious and heavy-hearted synth music was very common even in main stream hits.
