oh yeah... what an awesome drive.. the sax is so sexy...

"Ikigai" is a Japanese concept that basically means "reason for being". It's something that brings you joy. Synthwave brings me joy, and I'm sure many of you feel the same way. Question for you guys: What was the first song you heard that got you into Synthwave? 
One of the first songs for me was "City Lights" by the great Timecop1983 which ultimately became the inspiration for writing this song. 

Cheers guys! Enjoy!

"Midnight Racer" is the third track from my album "Sunrises" and features Cam Blokland on guitar. Album available on digital + CD at Bandcamp (https://maxcruisemusic.bandcamp.com)

Featuring soulful saxophone, fiery guitar solos, lush synthesizers and captivating vocals, Sunrises creates a vibrant soundscape that will transport you back to the 1980s with its nostalgic blend of pop, jazz fusion and modern synthwave influences.

Midnight Racer

Hollow Futures by Nexus is a descent into a neon-lit abyss — a fusion of darksynth and vaporwave that captures the eerie beauty of a world lost in digital decay. 💀🕶️🌐

This album pulses with dystopian energy: heavy synth basslines, glitched textures, and distorted melodies that echo through empty cyber streets. Nexus paints a picture of a future that's not broken — just abandoned. Every track drips with atmosphere, from haunting retro pads to sharp, mechanical rhythms that feel like transmissions from a forgotten mainframe. 🧬📼⚠️

Hollow Futures is for night drives through electric ruins, deep introspection, and those who find comfort in the beautiful wreckage of tomorrow. 🔻🌌💣
