Fri Aug 26 Com Truise
Com Truise! Synthwave, Chillwave! "Repetition is a form of change," reads one of Brian Eno's Oblique Strategies. Seth Haley knows the concept well, and his style of technicolour synth-wave takes the mantra as a challenge -- how much emotion can one man convey through his machines? Six years ago, Galactic Melt introduced space traveller Com Truise and his journey through far-flung galaxies, before mini-epics Wave 1 and Silicon Tare expanded the story in further cosmic detail.

Fri Sep 2 Turbo Drive
Robert Parker
Turbo Drive: Robert Parker! Synthwave! Originally a classically trained pianist, Robert Parker went from tracker music during the 90s to retro-esque the following decade. His love for analog synthesizers began when he bought a Korg Polysix in 2009, which was the starting point of the style of music he produces today. He creates music that ranges between everything from chiptunes to disco using a combination of hardware synthesizers and trusty VSTs, where the Roland Juno 106, The Minimoog and the SH-101 are his cornerstones.

Fri Sep 9 Pink Turns Blue
Pink Turns Blue! Post-Punk, New Wave, Gothic, Industrial, Ebm! When you've been around as long as German post-punk pioneers Pink Turns Blue, some things are just obvious: the world is on fire and very few people are trying to extinguish it. But Pink Turns Blue is bringing their own deluge of dark, gothic punk to the rescue. Formed in the 1980s in the midst of Cold War Germany, the band treads between melancholy and self-examination and a desire to change the world even when you know it's an uphill battle.
