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.

Lil playlist y’all might like

The whole idea behind the playlist was to make a soundtrack for an outrun esque movie set in 2049 with natural progression of mood/atmosphere. For maximum immersion I highly recommend listening to it in order. Hope u dig it πŸ™ŒπŸ»
