Riding the wave

Episode 741

I often play traditional electronic music on the show, sometimes referred to as Berlin School, Krautrock, Space Ambient, etc. Also back in the days, in the 80s at least, there was another trend in electronic music with heavy use of synthesizers and drum machines. Modern music refering to that age is usually named Synthwave or Retrowave. Similar takes in style go under the name of Chillwave and Vaporwave. In visuals, related styles are takes on Cyberpunk or Cyberspace movies and games. Why am I giving history lessons now? Well, I am not, I am giving you some great tracks following thes artistic music styles, mainly by the upcoming compilation Chromatic City which features a bunch of them and other tracks of same style. Enjoy this throw back edition with music by snurretop, Time Away, Ambient Indigo, Wane of Summer, Promethex, Talking to Ghosts, Progeny -1, Roberto Sass, Cosmic Cadence, and Ancient Astronaut (Chromatic City), Cobalto Drew (ether), Jan Hammer vs Moreno J (Crockett's Theme).
