This is a growing list of stellar productions by independent artists, some of the best I've found.  Some sound like they're from decades ago but in reality all were made within the past 15 years. 
The aim here is a collective playlist of acoustically pleasing bangers that you don't want to skip, that you can drive your car to, that you can work or play to, or just chill to.

I love the 80s/Synthwave/Electronic genres and sometimes I edit tracks I really like so I can hear them for even longer, and some are in this playlist. To the original artists, and my favourites the producers, the ones who are in this list, thanks for making life more enjoyable by externalising your imagination.

Driven - The Wave

I just imagine a woman dancing barefoot on a moquette, slow, sensual. It's all so soft... and silky.
First single from my new album "HOT SHOTS", out everywhere on June 21st

This is the first single off the BRAND NEW Phaserland LP  - OUT NOW!

Brilliant Core

Frontiers

Inspired by the timeless 80s classic Live to Tell, this track reimagines that evocative atmosphere with a modern edge. Driving the sound forward is the electric guitar of Shred Krueger, whose expressive riffs add both intensity and emotion. The result is a powerful blend of nostalgia and innovation, crafted to resonate with listeners across generations.

Lyrics:

I feel the heat every day
you know it radiates me your embrace
make no mistake i'm coming for you

i know that i've been told 
you ain't lookin for love but i'm alone
give me a call, this is getting serious

you and i should be unified 
don't these hard nights ain't the same without you
you and i should be up all night
watch the morning light in the heat of the moment

feel our love perspire
feel our love perspire

don't be afraid of drowning just hold on
(just hold on boy)
and take my hand and ride the wave of fun
just close your eyes and feel the summer love
(summer love)
don't be afraid of drowning just hold on boy 
you know I will save you

Don't leave me hangin' on
it's getting honk on a fever and you're the cure
gonna give it all i got yeah i'm coming for you

i know that you can feel
can feel the temperature rising yeah it's real
so what's the deal, this is getting serious

feel our love perspire
feel our love perspire

don't be afraid of drowning just hold on
(just hold on boy)
and take my hand and ride the wave of fun
just close your eyes and feel the summer love
(summer love)
don't be afraid of drowning just hold on boy 
you know I will save you

don't be afraid of drowning just hold on
(just hold on boy)
and take my hand and ride the wave of fun
just close your eyes and feel the summer love
(summer love)
don't be afraid of drowning just hold on

don't be afraid of drowning just hold on
(just hold on boy)
and take my hand and ride the wave of fun
just close your eyes and feel the summer love
(summer love)
don't be afraid of drowning just hold on boy 
you know I will save you
