Synthwave

Right after B&M is off air, you get Synthetic.

Two hours of Dark Ambient and Synthwave and Dungeon Synth and Berlin School.

All instrumental, all awesome.

Two hours right after B&M.

Get all my interviews, almost all that I've done, posted at blackknightsmeditations.com.

Remember to keep listening after B&M is off air at midnight to hear music like what you're hearing right now, the Wallachian Cobwebs.

So you get the Dark Ambient, in the Berlin School, in the Synthwave, in the Dungeon Synth.

Two hours worth.

100%.

And it would be named something like, I don't know, fucking Synthwave or something.

Laser dick.

Laser disc.

Yeah.

They put out this column titled Chillwave Synthwave Re-evaluation.

And the whole piece looks at how these two massive Internet-borne electronic music genres took the exact same approach.

Core ingredients.

aren't getting fuzzy and introspective.

They are building a high definition, high octane cinematic universe.

Right, so we are moving from the hazy, washed-out beaches of Chillwave to the neon-lit highways of Synthwave.

What's fascinating here is how the timeline lines up.

Remember to stay tuned post B&M from midnight until 2 a.m. for Synthetic.

Dark Ambient, Dungeon Synth, Retrowave, Berlin School.

Two hours worth.

Midnight until 2 a.m. right after B&M.

And remember, post-BNM, starting at midnight, you get Synthetic.

I program two hours that I call Synthetic.

Dark Ambient, Dungeon Synth, Berlin School, Retrowave.

Two hours worth.

And this still does work with my theme because this season has been OG season okay so I've had a lot of like you know OG artists of the synthwave scene on the show that's been like sort of the focus and I think sometimes people lose sight of the fact that even though you're a silly man and when we get together we just have silly times you are also an OG we don't really talk about that too often Like I said, you know, the origin story of this show was, like, finding Perturbator's track from Hotline Miami and then discovering Ogre on Bandcamp.

And then you were the piece of the puzzle, you know, because you had outrunning your track, the Hoo-Ha track, and it was track number one on one of those new Retrowave compilations.

Like, the first

That's what I want to do.

And I just really worked on my shit and I just tried to make it fun and like catchy and like entertaining.

Like I wanted to make my shit like the MTV of synthwave.
