X5s San Diego, California
Born in CA and raised on 80's synthpop I spent my youth listening to all kinds of music and playing way too many video games. I've been a hobby producer of music for over 15 years with a wide range of styles.
X5s recommends:
Take everything you know about vaporwave / synthwave and combine it with the big room snares and synths of Italio Disco / Hi-NRG. This album had me dancing from the first to last track.

Hearts LP
by Blackbird Blackbird
Wispy distant vocals like Postal Service over future funk beats. This is an album I keep coming back to when I need a second to cool off and clear my mind.

The 80's will never die and acts like The Midnight keep the fire alive. The clean and crisp analog synths are to die for. Combined with the great vocals this album yearns for a night drive.

These three tracks from Shawn Davis strip electronic music down to its bare essence, presenting pointillist synths and icy beats.

Imposter Syndrome
by Protoplanets
This EP of bristling electronic music foregrounds fat synth sounds and chugging rhythms.

Beautiful, moody dark ambient music that conjures shadowy worlds with just a few layers of synth.
