The movie Drive with the Kavinsky classic Nightcall was the moment I decided I wanted to find more music like it and like Daft Punk - Tron : Legacy.

Darkwave vs. Dark Synth

Darkwave is a music style from the late 70s and 80s, known as the darker side of New Wave.

If you're looking for dark synthwave, you want Dark Synth—a distinct genre from Darkwave with a more intense, cinematic feel.

Thank you Synth Samurai and Lounsberry pedal. I can’t wait to make new music with the pedal.

Bandcamp Friday is back for 2025. On March 7, we’ll once again waive our revenue share, ensuring more money goes directly to artists. Last year, fans spent $3.1 million in a single day—the biggest since 2022. Let’s keep that momentum going. Mark your calendars and get your wishlist ready.
