This album sounds incredibly authentically retro – but that’s not all because of Zimmermann’s crazy production skills.

You see, “PornCoreSynthRock2” is a sexy collection of covers of iconic anime and retro videogame tracks in synthwave and synthrock. This re-imaginging of retro tracks works incredibly well – whether it’s Akira, Streeet Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Gundam Wing, or obscure 80s anime – so well “PornCoreSynthRock2″ has been a top seller on bandcamp for a couple weeks now!

Zimmermann explained with a laugh: ” I wanted to focus on re-makes of 80’s cartoons and anime, as well as iconic game consoles – with a focus on Japan, of course. I loved combining console soundtracks with synthrock, anime with synthwave… everything in a crazy provocative melange of retro sounds. Hence the title PornCoreSynthRock2!”

Using old school production and mixing and mastering techniques, “Through the Night (Part 1)” continues the legacy of authenticity Peter Zimmermann began with “Ein Nacht Mit Peter Zimmermann (Part1)” and “Ryse of the Shrymps” in a delicious way.

In addition to the authentic synth feel, Peter Zimmermann also again seamlessly merges italo and synthwave into a new delicious retro form, giving us more of his signature clean 1979 sound without repeating his old tracks.

It’s also worth noting Zimmermann now has an interesting new sound, merging vaporwave, old school synth and disco in his recent VAPORDISCO release – hitting #1 on the bandcamp vinyl charts! Both of these releases aren’t ones you want to miss – go grab a listen now!

Peter Zimmermann also released two of his very best tracks on vinyl recently – check them out here!

Listen to “Out-o-Bahn” here!

This limited 7″ comes on the heels of “Nu-Romantic (Part I&II)’s” release, likely the best updates to Zimmermann’s fantastically authentic-sounding retro synth catalog since “Ryse of the Shrimps” was released in 2017.

We started covering Peter Zimmermann back in 2016 following his breakout hit “Eine Nacht Mit Peter Zimmermann.” Very few other artists in the scene retain this ultra-authentic retro sound, owing mostly to Zimmermann’s retro production techniques.

The German legend Peter Zimmermann is set to steal the spotlight with his newest italo-disco bombshell, “Eine Nacht Mit Peter Zimmermann.”  This album listens like a stiff drink feels –  warming you inside until you’re bursting with a drunken energy and you just can’t help but feel the drive.

The first time I heard Zimmermann I truly believed I was listening to music created in 1979. “Eine Nacht Mit Peter Zimmermann” is no different.

This album is a paramount example of authenticity in retro music. This album feels less like the work of a contemporary producer and more of a reto reenactment period piece. The beats are simple, there are no house melodies or trance pads – sincerely, everything from the chosen drum kits and synthesizers to the methods of production stay zealously true to the often overlooked genre of italo-disco. 

The only part of Zimmermann’s newest album that doesn’t bleed italo-disco is when he mixes in a hint of German New Wave – an odd combination that flows seamlessly together, specially in the vocals. The crafted masterwork mixing bridges the divide between two very different genres, creating a simultaneously authentic and original sound.

This album is quite simply the most explosive thing to come from Germany and Italy since the great war – but this explosion is borne out of a seductive, drunken happiness. Many genre crossovers exist in the retro scene, and who would have thought italo-disco and new wave would be so perfect for each other?

Every track on this album is a success, but the ones that stand out are “Mach’s zu Geld und schmeiß es aus dem Fenster,” “Luv Like Fire (Luv in 1979 Version ft. OsCar),” “Die finnische Prinzessin (Part I Instrumental),” and the wild “It’s fresh, It’s cool, It’s true (A Spandau Ballet Cover feat. Pleasure Operator).” The Spandau Ballet Cover has some wild vocals, as moving and gaudy as the spinner of a late night naked twister game. 

Go grab a listen of this album immediately, you wont be dissapointed. If you decide to buy, at
5€ it’s a steal! Lets all cross our fingers we’ll get to see this masterpiece on vinyl sometime soon!
