Here’s a cool retrowave station for users of Apple Music. Enjoy!
Hear where the music takes you. Listen to The Quicksand Station, a streaming radio station on Apple Music.
Gonna check it out!
Yes, sound like Sisters Of Mercy mixed with The Strokes, I like it!
I love Of Montreal! Disconnect The Dots!
What songs with a strong 80s/post punk influences but were recorded recently do you recommend?
As the title implies , I am a huge 80s postpunk/goth/coldwave fan, but I’m kind of tired of listening to the same artists over and over again. A good example of what I’m after would be Dimitri De Alencar’s “The Quicksand”.
Feel free to recommend any artists, regardless of the genre they are mostly associated with, as long as the song itself is in the genres I described
A few ones that are good examples (but these would be old songs, while I am looking for recent ones):
Cities In Dust (Siouxie and the banshees)
A Forest(The Cure)
Devil’s Dancers (Oppenheimer Analysis)
Way Out Of Living (Linear Movement)
The Cabinet (Das Kabinette)
Marian (Sisters Of Mercy)
Rise (PIL)
Blade Runner Theme (Vangelis)
Artist curates 4 tabletop RPG background music lists in his page, aimed at Starfinder and other sci-fi systems.
Follow his page for accessing all the playlists.
Each one is in the 3-4 hour range and they are:
Ambient Retrowave: you just landed at Gliese IV, an apparently abandoned planetoid which was a penal colony. As you explore the place, you feel that you’re being watched by someone… or something.;
Instrumental Retrowave: enemy fighters breached the outer rim, and all fighters from your brigade are launched to battle. Like a menacing swarm approaching, you see bogeys right and left that you have to engage;
Synthwave Selection: you are in the biggest space station in the quadrant, looking for your undercover contact. You have to find them first, searching in luxurious halls, rusty and half lit corridors, crowded gateways and suspect entertainment places. Bring your own oxygen though.
Eerie Sci Fi: your space freighter was boarded by a ship from unknown origin. You hear the hiss from hatches being opened. Will the newcomers see you as allies or foes… or food;
PS: the playlists are in the bottom of the artist page if you use Spotify mobile.
P.P.S.: if you want to go really dark, try this playlist

If you like having music while working (because many ppl use Linux for development, I use Ubuntu Studio), and are looking for something not too distracting or energetic but not ambient also, try this!
