Lyon based Cyberpunk master Dan Terminus is back with his long-awaited 5th album, titled "Last Call For All Passengers", and I've been looking forward to this since his last album, "Automated Refrains". That album was my favorite album of 2017, and one of my favorite albums period. "Last Call For All Passengers" is something that challenges "Automated Refrains" for it's space on my favorites list. This album is a whole new breed, it carries a lot of the trademark Terminus sou

Seattle based Darksynth heavyweight Glitch Black is back with an absolute monster, "Mechanical Perfection". Glitch Black has made some stellar work in the past, but I think this is exactly what it says on the tin, perfection. Each track brings a different flavor to the table, but all being heavy as hell. Some are more energetic, carrying elements of trance, like "Binary Overlord", and "Proxy War"; while others like "Grit" and "Deleted Memories", bring a lot more industrial so

Italian Cyberpunk producer Chris Keya is back with his newest album, "System Shock", building on the sounds he layed out in his previous album, "Chaos Theory". This album comes in hard with the cyberpunk energy, blending aspects of synthwave with EDM and DNB, creating a mesh that is really engaging, and keeps the energy up through out some of the sections that don't move at high speed.

One of the original names of Synthwave / Darksynth, Mega Drive, is back with a sequel to their genre-defining album "198XAD", subsequently titled "199XAD". Mega Drive went back to their roots to find a sound that is modernized with their new production, and a homage to 198X, and they did it PERFECTLY. Layered throughout tracks on this are callbacks to popular tracks from 198X, but each track hits like a bus, so packed with killer leads and bass so tights it's insane. Tracks l

DISCLAIMER: I was asked to provide a remix for the "Evergloam" EP, and I helped contribute to this release. I say this because contributing on this release does not change my judgment of either EP. Atlanta Cyberpunk producer WraithWalker is back with an interesting release, or releases. These are "Resurgence" and "Evergloam", 2 EPs focusing on 2 different creative stylings, but both utterly fantastic in their own way. For the sake of organization, I'm going to talk about each

Italian producer Chris Keya brings his most recent album, Chaos Theory, a project layered with cyberpunk influences, and themed from head to toe to be a full body experience. From the outset, it grabs you and brings you into it's world; one that is dark and sinister and bordering on collapse. Full of killer leads and deep bass, this album keeps you in it's grip from start to finish, and you really start to lose yourself in the music. Full of differing genre influences, pullin
