Beyond Synth - 19 - Mega Drive

A New Euphoria

1987 Sitcom

Dive deep into the neon-lit shadows of memory and solitude with Subterranean, the latest cinematic synth odyssey from Synth Fellow Hawk. Blending Dreamwave textures, Outrun pulse, and widescreen sonic storytelling, this album paints a vivid world hidden beneath the surface—both literally and emotionally.

Set in a remote canyon hideaway, Subterranean follows a lone wanderer who escapes the noise of civilization to find solace in his synthesizer. Each track is a story—an echo of faded memories, unspoken regrets, and quiet hope for brighter days on the horizon. From moody atmospheres to soaring retrofuturistic beats, Synth Fellow Hawk crafts an immersive journey through time, space, and soul.

Subterranean Dream

A sonic journey through neon lights and forgotten ruins: this chill synthwave track takes inspiration from Lara Croft and the retro soundtrack of Tomb Raider 3, blending mystery and nostalgia into a dreamlike soundscape. Lush synths set the stage for exploration and adventure, while Shred Krueger’s electric guitar adds cinematic tension with powerful riffs and soaring solos. Intertwined with it, Federico Amaro’s saxophone brings warmth and melancholy, wrapping the listener in an intimate, atmospheric embrace. The result is a fusion of epic game-inspired energy and timeless synthwave elegance—an odyssey of both discovery and introspection.

Lara's Lips

Heatwave

Heatwave is a collaboration track between Sandor Gavin and Tyconic, whos aim was to capture everything there is to love about a hot summer day. In essence, the song contains a straight forward groove but with layers of nostalgic synth chords, arps, bells, and a radio sample, filling all of the pockets of the song and creating the perfect summer setting. Hope you enjoy this track, and thank you for listening! 

Today on the show Andy chats with the very talented  Pat, Nick and Aaron from The Motion Epic! We track the band from Pat’s nomadic musical adventures to Nick and Aaron joining up and forming the trio they are today. Nick teaches us the correct pronunciation of Kalimocho, Aaron has crazy allergies, and Pat travels all over the place writing songs wherever he goes.
They also chat about their musical influences, and how they collaborate while living far away from each other.  If you like weighted keyboards and James Bond, this one’s for you!

Against The Odds

[Halloween Special Release]

"Voices in the River" is an archived track from approximately 2021, inspired by "The Mothman Prophecies" film, released in 2002. The movie features a thought provoking and ethereal score by Tom & Andy that coincides with the story of the Mothman, demonic possession, an unsolvable mystery and the real life collapse of the Silver Bridge in Point Pleasant, West Virginia on December 15th, 1967.
