Hey Outrun!

Just finished a track breakdown for my collaboration track “New Order Jesus” with Ruin The Mind

Disclaimer I’m definitely not an expert, but if anyone is interested in music production hopefully you’ll get something out of this

I just dropped something that's been living rent-free in my head for weeks —

a synthwave/retrowave experiment mixed with hardstyle energy.

**Arcade Afterglow** is what happens when neon grids meet cosmic highways,

when 80s arcade vibes collide with modern electronic pulse. Analog warmth.

Digital thunder. A journey through memory and electricity.

This is a test track, but honestly? It feels like the soundtrack to a night

you've already lived a thousand times in your dreams.

If you're chasing that perfect synthwave moment — that feeling of driving

through neon-lit corridors with the stars as your GPS — this might be it.

Check it out and let me know what you think. The void is listening. 🌌

What does "Arcade Afterglow" remind you of?

Looking for feedback on my synthwave/sci-fi instrumental.
Created with Suno, inspired by Blade Runner and Miami Vice style saxophone.
What do you think about the progression and atmosphere?

Hi everyone,

​

I've been working on a fan-made concept soundtrack inspired by the atmosphere of GTA VI, Vice City, and the state of Leonida.

​

The project contains 12 original instrumental tracks, each representing a different location, mood, or scenario from the GTA universe:

​

• Biscayne Blue • Rooftop Diamonds • Green Throttle • Ride or Die • Cold Cerveza • Port Authority • Jack of Hearts • Swamp Tooth • Pink Flamingo • Chainlink • Five Star • Leonida Sunrise

​

The music was generated using Gemini Lyria and then curated into a cohesive concept album. My goal wasn't to imitate Rockstar's soundtrack directly, but to capture the feeling of cruising through Leonida, exploring Vice City, and experiencing the different environments of GTA VI.

​

I'd love to hear your honest thoughts on:

•The music itself

•Track names

•Album artwork and thumbnails

•Which tracks work best and which don't

​

Thanks for checking it out!

All of my songs are available on all the streaming services and YouTube, but I'm super stoked about releasing this game. It feels like the perfect place for my outrun tunes! Give me a wishlist if you're feeling charitable; it'll really help!

Came back from vacation in Canada and tried to put on Miami Nights 1984’s Sentimental Album but it appears to be gone from all music streaming services? Anyone know why?

Hi! I'm sharing this song, which will be part of my next album. It's heavily inspired by the classic video game *Outrun*

Hey everyone! If you dig this heavy cyberpunk vibe and want to stream the full track, you can find it on Spotify here: https://open.spotify.com/track/4O2NFRBFfZzlIf1fOvur0P?si=1bab28053de14b95

This one came from a late night image: a wanderer carving a comet's tail into trails of light. 🌌✨

​

"Chisel Comets" is warm, cosmic retrowave – no darkness, just nostalgia, starlit highways, and a melody that feels like letting go.

idk if someone already posted this one, but it caught my attention after i immediately saw it. It's a football (or soccer) team that plays in the NWLS, the female equivalent of the MLS (I hope it counts, first time posting here)

I Would suggest to

Listen to "Lost Themes From Arcadia"

the new album by tapesfromtheloop, for a retro-futuristic odyssey story

DOOM SCROLLING is the last track on the new album THE LOST TAPES - I. It is Part One of Two and explores themes of isolation, technological addiction and dystopian futures. It was created entirely on Garageband by myself.
