@@ChrisD__ I don't know how I feel about that, on one hand it will get the attention it deserves but on the other hand, artists are going to misunderstand the purpose of this genre of music even more than what it is already and it will also be mixed with genres that won't mesh together properly (like trap)

This got me through my final year of university, many a late night burning the midnight oil getting projects and assignments finished. I'm now 5 years into my professional software engineering job at Sony PlayStation! Mad-Props!
Used to listen to this at 3AM at my old concrete job. Sitting on the steps to the shop and waiting for the foreman to open the doors. I remember the smell of the oil and hot July air even before the sun rose. This got me through them mornings. Thanks, dude.
Great story and great story telling skills! I felt like I was there with you, I also worked and about to work again in the building industry and I know exactly that feeling. Did you ever write short novels or short stories about your experiences?
@@kitkatkatya171 yes this is as good as this genre gets, I've been coming back to this album for years, for me at least the first half completely captures and transports me to the feel which I know the artist intends
I keep coming back to this mix every summer. Hot nights watching clouds carrying cool rain somewhere else. You have made a difference to someone out here in the world. Thanks for the memories.
Hi guys ! Haven’t been here for a while, glad to see that you enjoy my mix. I did not expect so many nice comments TBH ! As regarding my transitions I totally agree they sound like crap, out of sync or out of key, but I’m not a DJ and don’t claim to be :) I just had fun recording this mix live on my XDJ-RX. It’s just all about music and artists that inspire me. Thank you for your support !
Weird how no one commented here, came back to listen to this mix after 3 years ("Future is now" couldn't be more fitting, nostalgia of hearing first time hit hard), your song is definitely best part of this mix
I don't think your transitions sound like crap at all, I think they sound amazing! ^L^ This playlist is lit and will still be lit ten years, twenty years or more from now, when the music selection is good it ages like good wine. Thanks for this timeless quality music!🔥🔥🔥
its as if you're not even there. like you belong somewhere else. perhaps destiny didn't assign you to the right place at the right time. its a perfect blur of your imagination. yet you just go with it anyways...
These tracks would've hit the top 40 back in the 80's, yet they're new. This is crazy. It's like 80's music from a parallel universe. And these mixes are all over TH-cam. As an 80's kid, I can tell you things were so much easier and simpler back then. I really think the 80's were as close as we ever got to perfection as a society. It was the most free we've ever been, no one cared about race, gender, or politics. Just burgers, movies every Friday night, music, MTV, and 8-bit Nintendo games.
What went wrong were people who were too dissatisfied with near 90% perfection, and wanted 100%. So they threw away that 90% trying to get the last 10%. They invented problems we never knew we had and forced us to accept it. They forced us to love strangers making love worthless. They forced us to hate things that don't deserve hate and used to be things we were proud of. They made self-pity the new religion when we used to just play and chill. Now you're a worthless loser if you're not on some self-improvement bandwagon. We didn't need to be improved back then. We were fine, we were ok. Now we're wallowing in some sort of Everything's-shit-ism when it's actually better than it was before. So what really went wrong, were peoples' attitudes.
Le Cassette's This is all we know is so sultry, picture the scene you and her the nightclub is darkened, the drinks and vibes are pouring fine she pulls you up to dance and this come on, you move closer circling slowly, her perfume strong and alluring as her hair falls about your chest as she leans into kiss and caress your kneck, you gently but firmly embrace holding her hips and don't want the moment to end, that's what I get from this great song. Amazing and glad to have been there.
when the mix starts is when my soul leaves the room. taken to another place. another time. maybe even another dimension. im frozen in complete space and time. thank you for this feeling.
Love the mellow late night FM station crossfades. Takes the mix to the next level. Great tracks, cool blue animations, perfect title. I don’t remember the 80’s sounding this good! 👍
I will never get over how beautiful this Goodbye Horses rendition is at the end of the mix. I grew up to that song and it pulls on my heart so much. It's beautiful.
Honestly one of the most beautiful mixes I've heard, the tracks blend together so seamlessly and effectively, I regret always seeing this video be suggested to me and ignoring it
This mix is the only one I've found with consistent vocals. Electric Youth- Innerworld is indisputably the best album I've heard in the vocal vaporwave genre (2 songs from it in this mix). Otherwise I'm just another guy letting the waves take me where they will =]
4 years ago this mix changed my life. I have been addicted to 80s, synth, flambouyancy, dancing in the shadows, and experiencing life ever since. My heart goes out to the creator of this mix.

If anyone else was like me and going crazy trying to figure out what the actual last track that starts at 1:11:15 is, I believe it's Relation - Your Tiny Mind (Lifelike Remix)
ahh When I heard vocals at 53:00 I stopped in my tracks and was like "I KNOW THAT VOICE"... the soundtrack to Drive :) Thanks for helping me discover a new chillingly awesome tune!
i was NOT expecting that eyes without a face remix. thats my ultimate favorite billy idol song, i KNEW it sounded familiar when i was listening while drawing haha
this makes me wish i was my age in the 70's 80's and to just be Free in a world like this. It's honestly a little depressing knowing that's not possible unless i invent Time Travel but listening to this music feels amazing knowing that there are some people out there who want to bring it to a reality as much as i do
This Is The Best Mixtape I've Ever Heard. It's Just Perfect! 1k plays here are mine :)) On a side note: it's sad to know that so many talented people inside retrowave / synthwave made great things years ago with less than a little bit of recognition but The Weeknd and others put now the genre on mainstream levels merely mimicking these sounds.
Couldn't agree more. It's always the way for any genre that breaks through to the mainstream. Look at what Ed Sheeran did with dancehall. The industry swoops as soon as they see that something is catching on and mass produces it to be gobbled up by the sheep. Take solace in knowing you were here first, appreciating good, soulful music for what it truly is. Support the artists you love, in whatever way you can, regardless of whether they're selling out arenas or burned CDs on a street corner.
I feel like you did really good job picking adjacent songs and having them blend nicely. When I put this on I always forget what sequence the songs are in and just end up in perpetual anticipation, listening for my favorite tracks to come around again.
Holy 'sh&% f&%%' Loving it! Wow, too cool. Why is this sh&% not on the radio, and instead pop crap. Keep up the good work to whomever made this. Dang, my life has found new meaning.
I find them a bit rough myself but from personal experience I know blending tracks is very difficult. In particular at the 28 minute mark I'd call that a crash transition. I think he's done a fine job with track selection and I doubt I could do better. Without access to his track library I wouldn't know if he's got a better tune to match or even an interim piece to bridge the two. Cheers.
Completely agree. They should have added at least half a minute of drums and chord progression to about half of these to really make it work. Key changes are crap on many of them.

applesomething, what do you think of Arbitraritorian's reply that they love you?
it has synth music in it
just got it to 144p and became way better
holy shit you're right
after that try putting speed in 1.5 feels like an awesome videogame music

"... the 80's were as close as we ever got to perfection as a society."

This mix remember me that good year of 2018.
I've listened to it since around 2017-2018. 😎
The future was now
that pretty much sums up this genre for me
The 21st century's yesterday
+Myrdred Deceiver
And the past will be tomorrow
Now was soon.
The present is re-past
Not as harsh and fast as outrun, not as gentle and slow as vaporwave. Synthwave.
I like it.
I don't want to turn this music off. Ever.
I keep coming back to this. Its an auditory addiction
Love love love love "Psyche - Goodbye Horses" It's georgerous!
The transition from 'Runaway' to 'Goodbye Horses' is unbelievably good. Thank you for this mix!
this is really a beautiful and soothing mix. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much, i love your Channel

LOVE this...takes my mind back to when I vacationed in Florida in the 80's...pure magic back then.

I keep coming back to this over and over... fantastic music and images. Thank you for sharing!
Honestly one of the most beautiful mixes I've heard, the tracks blend together so seamlessly and effectively, I regret always seeing this video be suggested to me and ignoring it
Nice track to begin with
Listen to this almost daily since I found it.
This is my favorite vaporwave mix. A lot of 80s vocals mixed with catchy beats and wistful synth tracks
im always looking for vocal-driven vaporwave, if you find any channels or playlists with vocal vaporwave, synthwave and etcwave let us know
This mix is the only one I've found with consistent vocals. Electric Youth- Innerworld is indisputably the best album I've heard in the vocal vaporwave genre (2 songs from it in this mix). Otherwise I'm just another guy letting the waves take me where they will =]
This isn't Vaporwave.
It's synthwave though.
know the difference
Le Cassette is genius. I'm just seeing sunsets, palm trees and Pink Lamborghini's. :D
