3FORCE Uprising (Feat. Robin Adams)

October 24, 2019

Artist News

3FORCE

3FORCE’s red-hot release schedule continues with a powerful vocal track featuring Robin Adams on “Uprising”! Grounded by a steadfast rhythm section, “Uprising” weaves Adams’ passionate vocal delivery into a composition that rises and falls, builds tension across its running time, and carries listeners to a climactic conclusion. “Uprising” is the latest single from 3Force’s upcoming full-length album and the second to feature Robin Adams, whose distinctive voice brings elements of electronic rock to 3force’s sci-fi synthwave sound for a remarkable blend of styles.

Following the success of their hard-hitting retro-futuristic Resistance album, 3Force has shifted their approach to encompass a broader range of songwriting styles. “Uprising” joins a host of new vocal tracks from the Russian trio, including “Lost & Found” featuring Raizer, “Promise” featuring Megan McDuffee, and “Guardian Angel,” the first collaboration with Robin Adams. 3Force’s full-length album is currently scheduled for a late 2019 release through FiXT Neon.

Synth Riders is a VR rhythm game that takes the player on a journey into a stunning neon-colored cyberpunk world with beautiful stages straight from the ’80s and music from top synthwave and electro-rock artists from around the world.

The player’s goal is to hit different colored notes that fly according to the beat with the corresponding orb while dodging obstacles. Some notes come separately, others in long lines, some need to be hit with one specific orb, others with both orbs simultaneously.

The feature of Synth Riders that sets it apart is that in this game, dancing is not optional but crucial for those who want to climb to the top of the leaderboard. Handcrafted beatmaps are designed to make the players dance naturally, activating the whole body of the player. This makes for a great workout and relaxation when perfectly synced notes flow to the rhythm of electronic music.

Synth Riders was created by Abraham Aguero, the Creative Director at Kluge Interactive. Abraham had an unstoppable obsession with the ’80s; synth sounds, simple game mechanics and signature aesthetics impassioned him into a creative force born out of nostalgia. Abraham created RetroWaveVR, an instagram community with more than 35,000 followers, and a game series, which first launched Max, a homage to Space Invaders. Its second title was Synth Riders, and it was soon pretty evident that this game had serious potential.

PRIZM’s Cover Song Medley “Midnight FM”

October 18, 2019

Artist News

PRIZM

PRIZM wears their influences on their sleeve with “Midnight FM,” a brand new cover song medley sincerely dedicated to synthwave innovators The Midnight and FM-84. The gorgeous dreamwave track shifts subtly across its running time, paying homage to The Midnight tracks “Explorers” and “Lost Boy” and the FM-84 songs “Never Stop” and “Running in the Night.” As the group explains, “Midnight FM” represents a special piece of PRIZM’s music genesis:

“We still see ourselves as newcomers to the synthwave scene and we’re always discovering artists and sounds that inspire us, but it’s safe to say that PRIZM would not exist as we do today without FM-84 and The Midnight. The pure creativity of the songwriting and production opened up our minds to what is possible if we just dig deep enough. So we always wanted to do a cover of their songs. Then we thought, “let’s mash them up!” Then we lost our minds and said, “LET’S MASH UP 4 OF THEM.” So here we are and we’re very proud of what came out. We hope everyone who loves the original songs will appreciate hearing them reimagined as much as we loved recording them.”
– PRIZM

“Midnight FM” follows on the heels of PRIZM’s recent popwave track “We Were Young” and continues the series of singles from the group after their hit debut EP, PRIZM, released earlier this year by independent synthwave label FIXT Neon.
