ESSENGER
Facebook | Spotify
Essenger stands on the cutting edge of electronic music, blending an array of influences for a sound that pays tribute to modern alt rock, EDM, and synthwave. The artist marks his highly personal songwriting style with striking lyrics, and the result is a singular creative style that opens new possibilities for both retro and future synth music.
Essenger’s adept compositional skills and production chops helped his early singles attract a significant following while racking up hundreds of thousands of streams on individual songs. He soon connected with prominent labels including Seeking Blue and Monstercat, and those early successes led to an album deal with independent synthwave label FiXT Neon in late 2019.
YOUNG MEDICINE
Facebook | Spotify
Rising synthwave rockers Young Medicine pull the best from diverse genres to build a
carefully constructed music identity that defies simple categorization. Thumping
double-bass beats and crunchy guitar riffs hammer out hard-hitting rhythms while
chorus lines partner with sparkling retro synth tones for a stunning mix of audio ideas. If synthwave and metal got together and started a boy band, the result might sound
something like Young Medicine, who have put themselves on the map as pioneers for a new era by bringing rockstar swagger to the retrowave movement.
DASHCAM
Facebook | Spotify
Dashcam is the nostalgic synthpop project of Milwaukee-area musician and producer Donny Jankowski.
DAY TVVO
Facebook | Spotify
Alternative pop hip hop project from the Midwest. Here to find where we fit in, or change the shape entirely.
NIGHT SPICE
Spotify
Miami, Illinois. The streets aren’t safe, the pandemic has ravaged the world, and the city is as corrupt as ever. Who is gonna clean this city up? The answer: Night Spice. Armed with synths and the heart of a thousand dragons, Night Spice has come out of the shadows and infiltrated even the deepest infrastructure of this corrupt city. Anyone who dares stand in our way receives a lethal response from our blood thirsty saw tones and their eyes kicked out by the hardest bass drum Miami, Illinois has ever heard. Will Night Spice be able to clean up the city and reignite the passion of the synth? Or will the souls of thousands remain lost in a world that has forgotten how to vibe? Tune in and find out.
