Synth/Retrowave has had a dramatic increase in popularity over the past five or so years with even some modern day pop songs taking inspiration from the 80s style of music – Petrol heads interest in this rising genre is no exception. There’s something quite raw about a car with a pure driving experience, a radio and nothing but the empty urban roads in the early hours of the morning.
Here’s some of our best picks for the ultimate retro / synthwave driving songs.
1. Resonance – Home
It comes as no surprise that “Resonance – home” is on this list, being on of the most universally recognisable retrowave inspired songs currently out there. Sit back, drop a gear or two and watch the street lamps roll by.
2. R.e.d.m – VHS Dreams
R.e.d.m is certainly one of the higher octane songs on this list with hard-hitting beats and punchy vocals. Sometimes less is most definitely more.
3. Waves – Dance With The Dead
One of the more classic style of song on our list, Waves brings out the best of synthwave in a clean and modern package. This is one you’ll definitely want on your playlist!
4. True Survivor – David Hasselhoff
Perhaps one of the most famous songs on our list, True Survivor was originally created for the Youtube Film, Kung Fury which featured Hasselhoff in a ‘K.I.T.T-esque’ voice in the films Lamborghini Countach.
5. Fight Against Time – Waveshaper
Coming in at number five on our list is ‘Fight against time’ for its overall style and pace. The song features a variety of moods and styles with a fantastic beat. You can almost see the neon lights in your head…
