followed the guy... gonna play it before sleep...

Ho-lee shit. So I got very heavily into Synthwave over the last two years or so (where have you been all my life, you sweet music?) and just discovered this guy via the (highly commendable) Beyond Synth podcast. Man, this bloke is talented. I'd describe his tunes as a mix of Electro and Synthwave/Retrowave with a dash of Industrial/EBM for good measure, aesthetically as Sci-Fi/Cyberpunk as it gets, musically very much rhythm-driven with incredibly lush pads and gorgeous melodies, pushes all the right buttons with me. He's extremely prolific, but so far pretty much each track on every single album I've heard gets at least a 4/5 from me. I can't believe how good this guy is, he's shot from zero right to the upper echelon of my most favorite producers. So naturally, I do some interwebs sleuthing to find out more, and one of the top results brings me right here to good old WATMM. Well, all roads lead to Rome, as they say, and I'm late to the party as always, but in case you don't have him on your list you, this guy is definitely worth your time, so go check him out, WATMMMMMers. Oh yeah, it's all "name your price" on Bandcamp, so gorge yourselves on the yummy stuff. Buon appetito.

I've been instabuying (it's PWYW but it's so good I always pay) all things Holon since I found out about it; there's also Sylac, his more EBM/industrial project. Highly recommended.
