This track is 100% made by me, with no AI involved.

I made it imagining different 80s-inspired scenes, from old horror and fantasy movies to late-night outrun drives, mixed with my own ideas.

I just enjoy making music and sharing it. No expectations, I simply thought some of you might enjoy it too :)

Hey everyone!

I’ve been spending my late nights putting together a nostalgic 80s synthwave project called Faded Cartridge. I just finished a 1-hour mix designed for late-night driving, coding, or just zoning out under neon lights.

Would love to get some honest feedback from true outrun fans here on the pacing and overall atmosphere!

What’s your go-to synthwave track or album when you need to focus?

Hey! 👋

I wanted to share something very close to my heart with you. I just released my new track "Machines" — a journey into a future where technology grows stronger, but we start questioning what makes us truly human.

This song carries a piece of my thoughts and emotions: the fear of being forgotten, the search for something real in a world of artificial dreams, and the hope that our humanity will always remain.

If you have a moment to listen, I would truly appreciate it. I hope this little piece of my futuristic world connects with you. 🌆🤖❤️

Thank you for supporting my music. 🎧

Hi guys, want to share another gem I found with you — it's the artist Brandon. If you love the GTA Vice City vibe, then this is right up your alley. Once again, an artist who's undeservedly unpopular — he really makes quality stuff. So you don't tire yourself out listening through his whole discography, I recommend starting with his album Retrochrome. Thanks everyone for your attention.

Working on my next album, and this could end up being one of the tracks.

I wanted to capture that mysterious deep-sea sci-fi atmosphere with a synthwave feel. Curious to hear what you think!

Hi!, I've been a fan of synthwave for several years, so I finally decided to compose an original song in the genre (or at least try to).

It wasn't easy for me since I'm not used to using so many layers of instruments in my songs, but I had a lot of fun experimenting with the different synths I used.

I hope you like it ✨

Hey everyone, wanted to find out if anyone knows about this undeservedly underrated artist and his album "Reborn in Steel." For me it was the discovery of the year. Not all the tracks on this album appealed to me, but his tracks "A New Day," "Tearing Through the Dark," "Danger Close," "Pierce the Sky," and especially "Reborn in Steel" — what's interesting is that I didn't like him right away, but when I really listened closely, oh my god, it was beautiful.

Why do I want to share this artist with you? Because when you listen to his work, you literally picture it like a movie. For example, the track "A New Day" — you imagine him walking down the runway toward his fighter jet. "Pierce the Sky" — you imagine the fighter jet gaining speed for takeoff, and then the hero soars into the heavens, beautiful clouds all around. But then he realizes he's a pilot in a military unit, and a fierce battle begins, and you picture him pulling off all these maneuvers on the edge of life and death — and it's beautiful and sad at the same time.

Anyway, friends, I want to share this artist with the world, because he deserves it. Hoping to find like-minded people. Thanks for reading.
