Artist: BVSMV
Track: Better Days
Press Quotes: An ambient synthwave song, that starts out with an 1980s night driving vibe and then transitions into an ethereal arpeggio driven dreamland.
Artist: FRNCK
Track: Outrun city
Press Quotes: What makes this outrun/synthwave track unique is its double tempo: slow for the verse and fast for the chorus. The theme is a chase through the city between an outlaw and the police. That’s why you can hear a police radio in the background.

Track: Pontiac
Press Quotes: An ppbeat blend of chiptune with cybersynth & synthwave.
