As the title suggests, Deuce is an EP focused on the bright, punchy sounds of Tennis Videogame soundtracks. It’s funky, colorful, and long enough to leave you yearning for another set.

Thankfully, the EP’s release coincides with that of a Vapor Edition and Remix album featuring Caspro, Bart Graft, Eyeliner , Xennon and Donor Lens (featured below).

Wether it is for its original tracks or its equally impressive alternate versions, Deuce is a grand slam that you simply shouldn’t miss.

OSC ‘Deuce’, ‘Deuce : The Remixes’ and ‘Deuce: Vapor Edition’ are out via Bandcamp and Spotify via TimeSlave Recordings.

With Bandcamp Fridays gaining bigger traction every month and most countries growing rife with promising hopes of live concerts making a comeback, it seems like this fruitful month is but a taste of the glorious rejuvenated summer months to come. This past month saw the return of Retrowave titans Mitch Murder and Timecop1983, along with the long-awaited release of Makeup and Vanity’s ‘Heart of Batman’ Soundtrack on Streaming platforms. We hope you’ll excuse the slight delay for this Retro Recap; April 30th was a particularly fruitful Friday for Bandcamp and the Retro Scene.

The funky fresh synth sound of “Ideality” was just too good not to feature so we’re tackling it now after our break.

Coming straight from Brighton in the UK, OSC’s latest is filled with very authentic yet fresh sounding retro tones – expertly mixing funk, synth, and newjazz with just a hint of electro and vapor to create an inspiring new retro sound. “Ideality” is a delightful release anchored solidly in funk territory – an avenue of synthwave that is sorely under-explored.

Check it out now here on My Pet Flamingo!
