Miami Nights 1984 - Ocean Drive

 I love the Dreamwave genre and how those artists create their own music videos by setting songs to the same 80s films and anime that inspire the retrofuturistic style of music.

Miami Nights 1984 -- a band from Victoria, BC -- released their second album "Turbulence" on Saturday and posted this video just a few days ago. It's their song Ocean Drive set to the 1983 anime film Golgo 13 The Professional. Here's how their label describes the album:

Spanning 12 tracks, Turbulence builds upon the synth-pop charms and synthesizer solos from Miami’s first album with more character: orchestra stabs, percussive rushes, slow motion bends and epic interludes distinguish the album. So does the album’s more intense moments which promote the Outrun electro sound we have championed for many years.

Sounds pretty awesome to me! If you like it, the album's available on their Bandcamp site, iTunes and Amazon (coming soon).

80s Moments: Transformers in Time

Here's a blast of feelgood 80s nostalgia!

It all started when Futurecop! took their song Transformers and mashed it with Robbi Robb's In Time, the song that plays when Bill and Ted visit the future during their Excellent Adventure. A fantastic retrofuturistic synth pop song was born: Transformers In Time.

Then this DJ from Kazakhstan took a bunch of memorable moments from the awesomest 80s teen movies and synced it to Transformers in Time, creating a warm trip down memory lane. Thanks DJ Artem Narcisse! I hope the weather is nice in Almaty today.

If Michael Jackson's 90 second Pepsi commercial from 1988 doesn't warm your heart, then you weren't there when it happened.
