New 11 track album out now!: https://synthicidemusic.bandcamp.com/album/league-of-dissidents

Hello and thankyou for listening.  Yes, you've stumbled onto yet another synthwave producer, just one of many in a cast of thousands.
Synthicide began as a 'band' in 2012 right near the beginning of what's come to known as "synthwave", but due to many hold up's, false starts and unreliable personnel, i began releasing my instrumental's under the new name, and finally released an album in 2016.  Extremely overdue but better late than never, despite drowning in a tidal wave of synthwave music due to so many new producers latching onto the style post Stranger Things, etc...

I've mostly focused on the sci-fi/horror movie aesthetic,  the themes of post-apocalypse, infused with darker elements of soundtrack scores with the urgency of 'outrun'.  A soundtrack that you can dance to.  The soundtrack for prepping and survival.  Prepperwave?  You bet!
However there is also a brighter side to some of my music, as with my  release "Gold Coast".
I love all styles of synth driven music from the 70's, '80s & '90s - disco, pop, new romantic, a.o.r, electro, house, techno, drum & bass, & ofcourse soundtracks!!!

GOLD COAST e.p. - available here:
https://synthicidemusic.bandcamp.com/album/gold-coast

This e/p will suit all your summery beach vibes & add further atmosphere to your day on the world famous Gold Coast, of Queensland, in Australia. 
Sit back in your RX7, turn on the radio & cruise along the coastal highway, searching for what once was, and what can be again...the 1980's, when the future was ours!

OUTRUN THE MODERN WORLD e.p. available here:
https://synthicidemusic.bandcamp.com/album/outrun-the-modern-world

EXPLORERS e.p. still available at:
https://synthicidemusic.bandcamp.com/album/explorers

EXPLORERS has a positive futurist theme, with idea's of mankinds's journey into outerspace, developing systems of living there, and utilising new technologies for use back on earth.
Still cinematic in vibe, but more ambient to suit the feeling of floating and travelling through the galaxy.

3rd E.P. available from:
https://synthicidemusic.bandcamp.com/album/2019-after-the-fall-of-civilization
2019:  After the fall of Civilization continues the post apocalyptic theme, drenched in the atmosphere of '80s sci-fi/horror.
As per usual, long haunting intro's, but the beat always kicks your head in eventually!!!
(includes 3 bonus tracks from "Street Beats..." completely remixed)


2nd e.p. "SURVIVAL" still available from Filtersweep Collective:
https://filtersweep.bandcamp.com/album/survival
This 5 track e.p. has the usual soundtrack feel, but is sure to ignite the tastes of metal and d'nb heads within the synthwave genre.  I believe it's the first example of combining synthwave with elements of d'nb/neuro sounds!
Goes from lush to heavy within a filtersweep!....;)

Debut album still available from Future Retro Music:
https://futureretromusic.bandcamp.com/album/street-beats-for-the-apocalypse
A varied album that showcased many styles:  80's sci-fi/horror soundtrack, italo, space synth and electro.
As it was my first 'Synthicide' release, i wanted to show off all the styles i was influenced by.  However, i belive that decision made for an unfocused 'all over the shop' vibe, and sounded like it was all just thrown together on the one release (which...it was!)
My e.p's released since have dealt with that issue...,)

STRANGE NIGHTS is the name of my other 'band' with Jason Buchanan on vocals. (some songs are posted here.  Long awaited album will finally be out in 2020)

AUDIOBLIVION is the drum'n bass/dub/jungle/techstep/neurofunk/beats project...
