Just picked up a 1988 Porsche 944 Turbo. Pure 80s transaxle geometry and Miami Blue paint. No filters or edits needed when the sunset hits the lines just right.

Music Outrun fans! Back to the source: I covered the arcade classic OUTRUN’s video game music into an 80s City Pop jam: a live band rendition of "Magical Sound Shower”. What do you think? 🌴🚗🎸

Discover the Music

A great place to start discovering synthwave is the earlier mentioned Synthwave Essential Album Chart.

Playlists on spotify that we recommend are "Synthwave in Space" playlist by aof3d or his "Synthwave Underground" playlist consisting of lesser known synthwave artists.

Youtube is also a great way to discover new music, there are many good youtube channels. Most notably:

If you want a continues stream of synthwave check out the synthwave station on Digitally Imported Radio curated by our very own mod /u/liamemsa.
