Lots of synthwave and stuff without lyrics really help me get into flow. So, to name a few:

  • Arcade Summer - FM-84
  • Intergalactic Highway - Dynatron
  • Pulse Power - Dynatron
  • The Bench - Ogre
  • Pumping Iron - Silverhawk
  • Them or Us - Highway Superstar
  • Nightdrive - VHS Dreams
  • Nightvoid - Stellar Dreams
  • Dimensions - Stellar Dreams
  • Purify - Balligomingo

If you like cheese, the Hackers movie soundtrack is great:

  • Halcyon and On and On - Orbital
  • Cowgirl - Underworld
  • Protection - Massive Attack
  • Open Up - Leftfield

Now, for earworms in the genre, one that constantly gets my foot tapping:
FM Love - Anders Enger Jensen (of 8-bit guy fame)

Happy hacking!

Thanks for chiming in, Jimmy! So much good stuff in here. I love synthwave. 💚

I also get "Halcyon and On and On" stuck in my head often.

Fun fact: the movie Mortal Kombat, the 90's version (aka the best version 🙂) ends with that song playing. I just learned that this year when I rewatched the movie... apparently 10 year-old-me didn't catch that, haha.
