NewRetroWave — Thu, 28 Jan 2016 19:23:09 +0000

Yes folks. Another exciting announcement for 2016!! After 35 years of the DeLorean’s production halt, it has been recently announced that a select few number of vehicles will be officially produced, around 300 to be exact. Officially meaning the federal Government has given these guys the go ahead to produced these gems!! Although these will be labelled as replica cars, they will still be on the pricey side of $80,000-100,000. Yup!

NEWS ALERT – THE RETROWAVE SCENE HAS MET ANOTHER ISSUE!

NewRetroWave — Thu, 30 Oct 2014 16:33:00 +0000

Hey Retrolovers,

We all have speculated that the Synthwave sound has all the elements to make it into the mainstream. Many of you guys have shown STRONG dislike to this idea ever occurring. Look at the below evidence:

The image of top 40 popstar Selena Gomez scared the crap out of you all. Poor “Robots With Rayguns” had to take all her hate because of this!!!

It can therefore be concluded that “Top 40” has no place in synthwave, or vice-versa. At least from the retro community perspective, right?

Well look what has been brought to our attention via Sunglasses Kid! The video below may scare you even more than Selena ever did!!

Listen VERY CLOSELY to the evidence below! Pay no mind to the visuals.

*Gasps*

Is that…..Synthwave??

On a Taylor Swift record??!!

We all hear the bassline and synth-stab arrangements that correlate to Synthwave production! Do not deny this! Why do we call this a problem you may ask? Well it is this simple. The capturing and watering down of the Synthwave sound has now CLEARLY begun.

Think about it folks. Swift is one of the biggest pop-stars WORLDWIDE right now. If Taylor releases this embedded song as a single and it reaches top 10 status in Billboard charting, you can bet many other artists will hop on board and make carbon copy sounding tracks. Including that Selena chick!! Synthwave will become the new pop….

Now for the question we all constantly ask ourselves. Is this what the scene needs?

On one hand, it will bring the light to the EPIC Retrowave sound, yes, we all know this. But will all the artists who have put in their time and efforts to make this scene and sound what it is today get their recognition? Will our culture and community shine from watered down Synthwave records?! Is this the look Synthwave needs?! Who knows, but it is apparent that our scene may be in some trouble here.

We urge all musicians to copyright their music via ASCAP or BMI. Be LEGIT with your work. Do whatever it takes to legally cover your creations folks. Or else someone else like Bieber may take your work if Synthwave hits Top 40 status. Worse, Bieber could start bothering Lazerhawk for some production??!! lol

Yes, this is all tongue in check, but we want to bring the larger scale news to your attention.

The Retrowave scene is growing an is now being implemented in MAINSTREAM music.

**Lady Gaga also used the Synthwave sound in “Do What You Want (Feat. R.Kelly)” – via Lhasa Mencur. EVEN WORSE!! lol

What are your Thoughts?

……..

IS THERE SUCH A THING AS OVER-PRODUCING IN THE RETRO SCENE?

NewRetroWave — Tue, 19 Mar 2013 00:29:00 +0000

OK, OK, OK

BASICALLY……..WE HAVE NOTICED THAT MANY OF THE LOYAL RETRO FANS OF THIS UNDERGROUND 80S REVIVAL SCENE FEEL THAT SOME REVIVAL ARTISTS MAKE TOO MANY SONGS AND ALBUMS……. AND RELEASE THEM TO CLOSE TOGETHER!

THIS COULD BE DAMAGING TO THE SCENE IF QUALITY CONTROL IS NOT ENFORCED!!! OVERPRODUCTION WILL HURT THIS SCENE PEEPS!

EXAMPLE

IGNORE THE SILLY GIRL ON THE LEFT FOLKS……..FOCUS …….ALTHOUGH THE HIGHLIGHTED GUY ON THE LOWER RIGHT IS BEING DISRESPECTFUL TO THE ARTIST, WHICH NRW DOES NOT STAND FOR, REALIZE THAT WHAT THIS DUDE IS SAYING IS A SEMI VALID POINT. WE LOVE SELLOREKT AND THIS IS NO STAB AT HIS MUSIC OR WORK ETHIC. HE IS A MASTER OF HIS CRAFT! BUT IS IT NECESSARY TO RELEASE AN ALBUM SO OFTEN???……..EVERY MONTH?? THIS GOES FOR ANY ARTIST IN THIS FIELD.

(WE ARE NOT PICKING ON SELLOREKT, JUST AN EXAMPLE)

IT SURELY IS QUALITY OVER QUANTITY…..RIGHT?

WHAT CAN AN ARTISTS GAIN FROM RELEASING ALBUMS IN SHORT TIME SPANS?! A QUICK BUCK…OR A CHANCE TO GROW A REAL LOYAL FANBASE?

FOR THIS SCENE TO LAST AND PROSPER, ALBUMS NEED TO BE SEEN AS GOLDEN TICKETS!!! GEMS IF YOU LIKE. THE MORE OF A WAIT A FAN CAN GET UNTIL THE NEXT ALBUM …….. THE GREATER THE SALES WILL BE FOR THE NEXT ALBUM.

AN ALBUM A YEAR IS JUST FINE MY PEOPLE!!!! LOL

AN ALBUM EVERY MONTH/ 2 MONTHS/ 3 MONTHS IS STRAIGHT OVER KILL!!!! THERE IS NO NEED FOR THIS.

(NOT COUNTING EP’S, MIXTAPES, COMPILATIONS…ETC)

EVEN ARCADE HIGH AGREES MANY ARTISTS ARE DOING THIS

WE KNOW THAT ONCE A PRODUCER IS IN THE ZONE, HE/ SHE WANTS TO PUT OUT HIS WORK AND SHARE THEM. BUT THIS SCENE ISN’T A PRODUCER FOR THE PRODUCER SCENE. KEEP THAT BEHIND THE SCENES.

SHARING SONGS WITH FANS WORLDWIDE AND GETTING RECOGNITION IS THE MAIN GOAL HERE……RIGHT?!

REAL LISTENING FANS WHO WANT TO HEAR QUALITY TRACKS MATTER SOOOOO MUCH! THEY GET YOUR SOUND ABOUT VIA WORD OF MOUTH! HOW CAN YOU NEGLECT THEM?!

FOCUS ON QUALITY…..

AND DJ’S WHO WANT TO SPIN TRACKS TO INCREASE RETRO BUZZ SHOULD NEVER BE IGNORED.

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS PEOPLE?
