Bio and how they support artists

Digging through unique gems of synthpop, psychedelic, indie, postpunk, synthwave, chillwave, gothic, cyberpunk, dreampop, shoegaze, darkwave, and more My playlists Synthpop nostalgia Seeking tracks that capture the charm of classic synthpop — shimmering analog synths, vintage drum machines, and a production style that feels lifted from the '80s or early '90s. Instrumentals and vocal pieces alike are welcome, so long as they carry that melodic, atmospheric quality. If you’ve made something in this spirit, I’d love to hear it. Psychedelic Tapes A space for music touched by the spirit of classic psychedelic rock — not limited to one sound, but united by texture, mood, and exploration. Art rock, prog, post-punk, shoegaze, dreampop — anything that drifts, pulses, or unravels in a haze. If your track sounds like a dream recorded on dusty tape, or a transmission from another mind, it belongs here. Doomer tapes Gathering tracks — vocal or instrumental — from the darker shades of post-punk, synthpop, gothic, cyberpunk, and adjacent genres. I’m drawn to cold atmospheres, shadowy tones, and that feeling of tension beneath the surface. A danceable groove is always a plus — something you could move to under dim lights in a forgotten club. Sovietwave Exploring instrumental synthwave and chillwave with a retrofuturist slant — music shaped by imagined futures, faded ideologies, and the aesthetics of lost space-age dreams. Think cold synths, ghosted signals, and melancholic beauty wrapped in analog warmth. If it feels like a soundtrack to a forgotten utopia, it fits. Retrowave underground A collection of instrumental synthwave from outside the usual lanes — lo-fi, independent, and beautifully strange. This is for the overlooked, the experimental, the subtly cinematic. Not interested in polished nostalgia — I’m after sounds that echo from arcades, off-world colonies, or timelines that never happened. I’ve also got a few other playlists exploring different corners of sound, so feel free to share anything that resonates. My playlists aren’t about strict genres — it’s more about atmosphere, texture, and feeling. If something captures the mood — whether nostalgic, shadowy, dreamlike, or just a little off-center — it might still belong, even if it doesn’t fit neatly into the usual categories. If you're unsure about the genre or where your track might belong, I’d be glad to help — I’ve spent a lot of time listening deeply and have a good ear for picking up on stylistic influences and subtle genre blends.
