Vapor... wave?
>>62998181
It's actually nothing like vaporwave other than that it sounds slightly nostalgic and reminiscent of 80s music. Despite that, it is much more original than vaporwave and relies much less on samples. Think Justice but with a retro touch.
Some stuff by Vogel

>>62998491
It's different but I really like it. Pretty chill. Vocals might take a bit to grow on me though.
>>62998558
The mix on most of these seems really bad and the drum sounds sound like basic vengeance samples.

I'm glad this thread exists. I recently stumbled upon Carpenter Brut and Dance with the Dead with this remix (which is fucking excellent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbTcmfEGrds) so I'm looking for more acts in this style.

>>63001696
Oh shit, this is great.
>>63001788
I just heard Sailorwave recently and I thought it was just alright. Is anything else by MACROSS 82-99 worth checking out?
>>63002017
>Is anything else by MACROSS 82-99 worth checking out?
No. He's a fucking hack along with pretty much every other "future funk" shitter. Even worse is that he consistently gets called out for shilling his shit on here, but that's neither here nor there.
Check out Millennium Disco Club for people who have been doing it longer and better and without trendwhoring.
>>63002097
Oh, I accidentally mistyped. It's Shiny Disco Club. Millennium DIsco was one of their compilations.
>>63002097
>>63002147
Where to start with them?
>>63002228
They've been around for a while now. I would grab their millennium disco comps if they're still around. It's more of a label/collective, so just go through their Soundcloud and check out the individual artists. If you want more in the style, honestly just look up french house.
Also, I don't know why people are posting fuckin vaporwave in here cause that's retarded. I would've expected better, but I'm not surprised. If you want actual synthpop stuff in the Kavinsky style, check out Anoraak, College, Chromeo, and Tuxedo.
>>63002335
Thanks, Anon.
>>62998890
Whatever happened to Danger?
>>63002430
Died with the electro scene it seems. He already came late with it when he was around.
More like: Kavinsky - Nightcall? I feel that song like a movie, beautiful song
>>63002516
Everything by this guy:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvWxUCrgqJs
>>62998692
Or dreamwave? A mix of french house, electro house, and nu-disco.
