This track is about my memories of the 80s and that we should never forget what a special time it was.

***
On Friday 25th March 2022, dreamwave producer The Future Kids released their second album “80s Dreams”, via Outland Recordings, one of the world’s leading synth and retrowave music companies.

80s Dreams is soaked in nostalgia. The album is the accumulation of the Belgian producer's decades long love for synthesizers and electronic music. Since his first album he has managed to forge his own style to honour the synthwave style of the old, while still evolving it with a fresh new sound. Sometimes dreamy, sometimes powerful, the new album draws its inspiration from 80s pop culture and the blockbuster movies of that time.

The Future Kids said of his writing process, “For this album I used a lot of layering techniques, and drum programming more similar to French house with a heavier sound. I put one of my early demos onto a montage of 80s movies, and it just clicked together. At that point I had found the direction I needed to go in, and I found a lot of nostalgic chord progressions and melodies which became the songs that are featured on the album.”

The penchant for synthwave’s chilled sub-genre ‘dreamwave’ is of course strong this year. With cassettes and CDs for The Future Kids’ sophomore album almost sold out, there is no doubt that the old retrowave sound is still alive.

“…A fantastic album of Dreamwave Bliss! The Future Kids does it again with the perfect 80's nostalgia which is a creation of beautiful and uplifting sounds. This music takes me back to my 80's childhood.” – Nick

“Beautiful uplifting dreamwave bliss that is absolutely breathtaking! The Future Kids do it again with music that makes nostalgia a way of life! Thank you for this amazing album!!!” – David

“500 characters are not enough to adequately describe this unique and magical album. The album starts off epic, what follows is dreamwave at its best. 43:29 minutes goosebumps. Sometimes dreamy, sometimes powerful and always perfectly arranged. From the first to the last second a successful masterpiece. In my opinion, this album is already a contender for the title "Album of the Year! The Future Kids has arrived in the Olympus of dreamwaves… I tip my hat to you! Chapeau!” - Tiemo
