Betamax Video Club vol.1

by Velocity 128

supported by

djbeema Brilliant EP. Has a sound so unique from nearly any other synth producer I'm following these days. Really captures the 80s feel in an authentic way that doesn't just feel like imagined nostalgia. Favorite track: Codename Lance.

danmcleifendeth The nostalgia is real! This release really does sound like a VHS time capsule from the late 80s, but in crystal clarity with great production quality and solid songwriting to boot.

I'm inclined to give this gem 5 stars out of five, with my favourite tracks being 1, 2, 4, and 5. Check it out! Favorite track: Stakeout.

Another chilled, yet action packed soundtrack from AA. This one is slightly less manic than some others, and verging on uplifting ethereal tunes Very easy to listen to and carry on with your work El Tato
