Alpha Boy’s début album.
German Dreamwave producer Alpha Boy is finally ready to drop his début record, ‘Electronic Feelings’.
If you search electronic rumors for ‘Alpha Boy’ you’ll find quite a few of his tracks have been featured here, we’ve been a big supporter of Norman Knight’s take on retro synth music and most of those tracks we’ve featured appear on this collection alongside a few new tunes. From the album’s opener ‘Night Thunder’ you immediately get a sense of atmosphere from the tracks, Alpha Boy manages to keep his tunes dancey but also injects an emotional resonance into his music that whisks you away to wherever the subject matter of the tune is. Drawing from Dreamwave, Italo, 80’s instrumental Pop and ChipTune, Alpha Boy is about to drop 14 tracks that anybody into backward looking but forward sounding synth music should definitely seek out.
♫ Alpha Boy – Breath In
♫ Alpha Boy – Debbie’s Workout
Alpha Boy’s ‘Electronic Feelings’ is out soon.

Goin’ Old School: Peter Godwin – Baby’s In The Mountains
Peter Godwin‘s 1983 Italo/Pop ‘hit’ ‘Baby’s In The Mountains’. I use the word ‘hit’ loosely, despite it being a classic slice of 80’s electronic Pop it has been largely forgotten.

Final DJs Vs. Corona

Giving it a bit of Italo, a bit of Balearic and a whole heap of Dreamwave, Final DJs whip up a storm of emotional electronic goodness. revitalising the track, and particularly the lead line, into something that sounds both fresh and nostalgically recognisable. Check out the second half of the track, Final DJs really play to their strengths with a beautiful, uplifting, solo.

Kid Machine
Here’s the new track from Mancunian producer of all things retro synth Kid Machine.
It’s called ‘’85’, fittingly as this track could have been rocking Top Of The Pop’s in the mid 80’s, all smoke machine and green flashing lights. Taking elements from Italo and SynthPop Kid Machine has created a track that sounds genuinely authentic, right down to the production style. From the post-Kraftwerk Italo beats to the Belgian New Beat-esque lead line ‘’85’ is a slice of nostalgia that also manages to be fresh as hell.
