God this music rules. I'd check out Carpenter Brut, Mega Drive, Kavinsky, MOON, Perturbator, and literally anything from the Hotline Miami soundtracks. Those soundtracks are bangers.

I heard some awesome 80s cyberpunk song in a Chipotle over the weekend. It sounded like it came right out of that scene from Snatcher where they're in the club. I'll probably never find it, but boy was it cool.

I like the dance with the dead remix better tbqh. Didn't care much for perturbator's. It's not great imo. Maybe it requires repeated listening, but I feel like perturbator's work has been decaying in quality ever since dangerous days (minus megadrive's I am the program remix, which was honestly great.) He used to make songs with great melodies and I hope his next album is more like I am the night and less like dangerous days.

How is the synthwave selection on Spotify? I'm thinking of subscribing now that it's been implemented on the Playstation 4.

It seems pretty good on both Spotify and Google Play. What I prefer about Google Play is adding my own music. Albums/Comps gotten from Bandcamp I add to my library on Google Play and it's all set to go.

No prob at all, I stick with Google Play for the sole fact of the ability to add music that isn't on there.

I like a lot of Spotify features, and I believe for most of this stuff that gets on Spotify, you can just follow a playlist that Noisepurge maintains I believe.

Molly is my favourite.

I don't suppose you could suggest some similiar artists? I've been into something particular that Waveshaper, Makeup and Vanity Set and now Le Matos are doing but I lack the vocabulary to describe it.

Cross by Makeup and Vanity set is a good example of what I'm talking about.

Damn it, I always feel so bad about PWYW. I think I'm gonna pick up the poster for this one, though.

Give Antoni Maiovvi a shot, guy was making this stuff before Kavinsky :D

Cluster Buster also deserves more recognition, some wicked melodies:

And if you like Waveshaper, give Magic Sword a spin:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q29bweNyGjM

These can all be also found on Spotify.

(whoops double post)
