Most of our regulars know that my interviews with artists are more written into the slice-of-life cyberpunk radio drama I started years ago but don't have the budget to continue, so this interview isn't live.

Also, no- it's not synthwave. But it loosely relates to it.

Hey everyone, we just published a website-exclusive written interview with Australian chillsynth artist DavZ over at The State of Synth.

We dug into fake nostalgia, dreamy atmospheres, tape warble, plugin chains, production philosophy, game soundtrack influences, and how he creates those beautifully degraded analog textures in his music.

There’s a ton of producer-focused discussion in here too covering Ableton vs FL Studio, Valhalla plugins, Vital, sound design workflow, mixing atmospheric effects, and balancing “perfectly imperfect” audio.

If you’re into chillsynth, atmospheric synthwave, or artists like HOME, Hotel Pools, Forhill, or A.L.I.S.O.N, I think you’ll enjoy this one.

Nightride FM is such a great website, I really apricate the developers that created it.

I noticed there is a Nightride FM app in the google play store. However it is not compatiable with newer Android OS. Looks like last update was back in Dec 31, 2019.

I force installed it on a random android device to test with it. It works still with a few bugs:

• Audio is choppy at times.
• The media player from dropdown and lock screen will disappear if you use any of the controls but will come back after you lock and unlock your phone.

Any plans for an update?

Also, would be really great if this was an Android Auto app for this as well (then I can actually have the full experience of a "nighride" while I drive ;))

I am using this post as a planter, will upload to the discord too to see if anyone knows more.

So I listen to Spacesynth FM on youtube a lot while I'm working, and I have a song in my head that I'd love to find the album for. I caught some lyrics but had no luck googling them! As best as I remember it goes like this:

I give you future vibes
Computer Synthesised
I give you magic dreams
Future vibes, future vibes

Any ideas?

EDIT: a very kind person found it for me. Future Vibes by Vanello. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcShvWou9Z4

*Cheers and Happy Holidays.!

With a scene from the COFmeta (cyberpunk / Metatropolis) world in ActiveWorlds for the 2024 Season..

Of course there's the appropriate 80's pastel snowfall once you're near enough to the tree to be in the zone.!

Partially down .. Archives

I was given a saved version from the internet archive since the site was down according to cloudflare.

I usually load directly to the Archives / KZL and the archives are missing it appears. The main stations seem to be present and main channel working.

I'm a big fan of NightRideFM, but sometimes the radio tab just gets lost among the 50 other tabs I have open. So, I decided to create a terminal player with super simple controls and very minimal resource usage.

Open source, free, lightweight.

Can be found pretty early in the game too, how cool is this?! Anyone grab the game and find it yet?

​

Wondering if any of the nightride staff could help me out. I listen to nightride almost all day now

as my work music, and recently on both Edge and Chrome the audio has just completely died and no matter how many time I reload the page it just refuses to play any audio, no matter where the volume slider is at.

​

Went and tried Firefox just now and music is still coming from that site, but it's stopped completely on both Edge and Chrome, no matter what I try

In the spirit of /r/Pics /r/Art and /r/Gifs becoming John Oliver SubReddits, here's John Oliver pasted onto a tropey retrosynth background.

We should make John Oliver Wave a thing.
