Alright Bluesky algorithm…Come one come all, synthwave producers / electronic producers, retro gamers, and artists of all kinds. I need more people to follow on here!
Was talking to a young kid the other day about how I remember playing the first Super Smash Bros. as a kid in the 90s and he was so enamored and blown away at how cool that was… I guess I’m old enough to be “that guy” now. 🥴
Disheartened when I see retro channels on IG use AI slop music instead of any of the hundreds of real retrowave artists music. 👏 Artists. Need. To. Support. Each. Other. 👏
This is such an important thing. I thankfully learned it quickly in my art / music journey. Life is too short for jealousy.
I am excited for my friends and peers when they succeed. You should be, too. Jealousy is ugly, it makes us worse, and benefits no one. Relish in their successes. And surround yourself with people who will relish in yours
I’m so close to finishing this album… it’s been a year, and I need it to be over 😣 just a creeping stress. Will be excited to release it once it’s finished though.
Everyone needs to check this out. Starts in 5 minutes and it’s gonna be a banger! See you there!
Listening party at 5pm est. come through! sferro.bandcamp.com/live/ravefin...
Linktree just raised their price from $90 to $144 yearly. — 😂🤚 nty I’ll find another service
Been writing this album for several months and just when I think I’m done, I feel like I can do better. It’s the curse of the artist. Things are never finished, you just stop working on them. I’m trying to find the line on how far to push it / myself… Driving me insane.
Production influencers are out here talking about, “do this to get a professional sound” or “I can tell a track is amateur when I hear…” I say be an amateur. Be unprofessional. Work to grow your sound and skills, but don’t be afraid to put your music out. The world needs it now more than ever.
Can’t wait till we get the first AI movie physical release when they include behind-the-scenes footage. It’s just someone typing over and over in 5 second clips trying to get the thing to look correct. It’s gonna be riveting.
People out here just typing in a prompt and getting AI vocals and meanwhile I’m dressing up my closet with blankets and a twin-sized mattress just to get a decent quality recording. Because I actually enjoy the process of putting labor into my art and then having the feeling of, “I made that.”
New sounds from Sferro!! Something special for the ravers! Crazy Luva is OUT NOW! newretrowave.bandcamp.com/track/crazy-... #retrowave #90s #rave #acidhouse #breakbeat #newretrowave
Everyone nowadays throwing around “Yacht Rock” like they know what’s up — this was my introduction to yacht rock www.mixcloud.com/sweatsonklan...

Just chillin’ in the studio working on the new album. What have you all been up to lately?
“I don’t wanna grow up, I’m a Toys R Us kid” — resonates with me way more now than when I was a kid.
I wish I had a dollar for every time someone called me “Arcade Fire” either by accident or on purpose.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I know they are popular, but I will never willingly release an “instrumental version” of any of my tracks that have vocals. I wrote them with vocals for a reason. To me it’s like releasing a densely-plotted film without any dialog.
Trying to be more active on here. Drop me all your favorite synthwave / influencers / pages so I can build up my algorithm. 😆
