Mitch Murder’s ‘Best Of The Best’

mitch-murder1

The reigning heavyweight champion of SynthWave, Mitch Murder, is back with another new track. Where the man finds the time, I have no idea.

‘Best Of The Best’ is his latest. What can I say about Mitch Murder that I haven’t said before? The man really is the shit, both in terms of production and musical ability, and this tune is no exception with it’s big emotional retro synth chords and ‘80’s Pop drums, but that’s now where the gold in this tune is. The real hairs-standing-up-on-the-back-of-your-neck aspect to ‘Best Of The Best’ is the soloing. Mitch let’s rip on this track. Soaring to the stratosphere, with Malmsteen moments, Mr. Murder shreds his synths and sounds like he’s having real fun with it too. We love a good synth solo here and Mitch’s rally are ‘Best Of The Best’

♫ Mitch Murder – Best Of The Best

Binalog Frequency with Medora & Songdreamer

binalog

A while back we wrote about Binalog Frequency’s science fiction breakin’ beats ‘Neon Funk’, now he’s used that track as a starting point for his version of Songdreamer and Medora’s ‘Be On Your Way’.

‘Be On Your Way’ is originally a collaboration between vocalist Songdreamer and hard CORPS’ Clive Pierce’s Medora project that Binalog has worded his Electro magic on. Keeping the Bleep House-esque ghetto bass of ‘Neon Funk’ and lairing it with Songdreamer’s’ vocals (which are slightly reminiscant of one of my favourite voices, Martina Topley-Bird’) makes for an interesting and involving mix. Soulful vocals and rapid fire robo beats? How can that be anything but awesome?

Quasars’ new track

Quasars

Here’s a new tune from one of our favourite Russian SynthWave producers right now, Quasars.

Leading the way in the exploding Russian retro synth scene, Quasars had dropped so many good tunes lately and ‘Pong’ is no exception. After a rousing intro of building chords and shimmering lead synths the track take you on a journey through retro synth awesomeness. As big and sweeping as a SynthWave track should be, emotional in a way that you can really connect with but full of post-Italo dancefloor goodness too. Really nice build for the middle eight too!

FM Attack reworks Richard Marx

richard marx

Pure gold! One of Canada’s best synth exports and one of our favourite producers FM Attack taking on Richard Marx 1987 power ballad début ‘Should Have Known Better’.

The wavy mullet’s voice with FM Attack’s sweet retro synths is a match made in heaven. No only does FM Attack provide a slick as hell ‘80’s sounding Electro backing that works the right bits of the song at the right time, but he also liberally applies some lush vocoding to Mr. Marx’s vocals. The whole thing shows a great respect to the original track, but take it so much further, to the point where you couldn’t listen to the original again without somehow feeling that the stuff here was missing. Powerful, uplifting, nostalgic synth awesomeness.

Mental Minority’s new tune

Mental Minority

Here we have another new track from mystery German producer Mental Minority.

‘Turn the Key’ is a driving slice of Post-Italo SynthWave. Crammed full of ‘80’s referencing politically charged samples and a bassline full of nervous energy, the track has an air of anticipation about it. It’s a track of two halves, and kinda’ tells a story that way. There’s the initial half that is thick with expectation and glides along in a retro Electro way, with big ‘80’s chords and a steady beat. Then part two kicks in, double times the bassline and the track powers to it’s climax, a shimmering lead line that let’s us know everything might just be alright in the end.

New tune from Follow Me

Follow Me

Some brand new night time SynthWave right here from Follow Me who’s just dropped his latest work, ‘A Mission Nocturnal’.

It’s a stomping, moody Italo based tune, which some awesome little flourishes, especially in the second half with the delay heavy guitar sample. There’s a bright, almost oriental feel to the twisting and intertwining arpeggios that, arguably, are the core of this track. With the Italo bassline below them and the big retro chords above, they help the track along to becoming a class late night jam.
