More of a mixtape than a mix here....a homage to a Drive soundtrack, hopefully mixing LA noir with a strong European influence / presence and suitable for night time.
Thanks again to JC for planting the synth seed..check out his amazing mixes if you like anything about this one.
Enjoy the Ride :)

Quality stuff pal. Had this on for an early morning red eye and really got into it around the silent alarm track. Didn’t catch a lot of other titles but the closing tracks were also epic. Well enjoyed it pal. Much respect 👍🏻👍🏻😁😁
Lol...think the time stamp was playing up, mate but totally stoked that you chooned in...thanks for the support and always quality comments...have a good one ::))
I could definitely hear/feel Jacey's influence in this one...is there any of us he hasn't had some influence on I wonder lol? Like my music sis-star Lozy, Strange Pleasures was a fav...as was Invitation...saw ET's comment about the pencil with the cassettes...have many memories of doing the same thing lol...think it was Wadcutter who told me recently cassettes were making a comeback, guess cuz it's cheaper than vinyl? I don't miss the pesky things or the old 8 tracks ... I did have some back in the day lol...can still see an 8 track I had with BTO's Taking Care of Business...quite a bit different than this music...
Anyhows, always a treat to see what you've been up to musically stubbie, I enjoyed the listen and the furtherance of my musical education :))
Thanks again, Deborah...very happy to help further your education...although it is very encyclopaedic already ::))
Jacey is a bit of a mentor and it's impossible not to glean something from his extensive library of uploads, such is the breadth and depth of them...pmsl about those "pesky" cassettes...not my fav. format for music but loads of memories on these treasures....finally glad you mentioned Invitation ...check out the album...amazing 80s and not really dated...cheers again ::))
Another Stubbie cracker, hope your all well mate. Bit behind on me comments all usual mentleness. Great track selection thoroughly enjoyed this, lovin Infinity Night & Myalgia and really made me smile when I saw Swayzak pop up some fond memories. Nice one looking forward to the next one 😎👍
Cheers Neil...thanks for tuning in amongst all the biz and madness...think I've caught the synth bug here...defo a direction for me to pursue...look forward to a newbie from your self when you are able to...take care ::))
Nice session here, stubbie! I found real majic moment for me with song Strange Pleasure and track Yes ... love Symmetry staff. Thank you for sharing Bro, hugs! 99:)
Hey Lozy, thanks for stopping by and pleased to hear that you like...some great tracks picked out there..love Symmetry's stuff as well and Still Corners are a very under the radar group but produce some beautiful stuff...appreciate your time and support ::))
Love all the Winding Refn stuff, as director (so good The Pusher Trilogy) and for the soundtracks, The Neon Demon, and Drive as well, this one reminds me the in some way the Italian cinema of the 70s, of Argento and Leone, with the added value amazing sounds inspired by the best 80s synthwave. 'In The Car Crash' very appropriate, brilliant, Swayazak is another genius imho - and yhe closing with 'Nightcall' by Kavinsky, that is tho opening of Drive, if I remember well. Top session, mate!
Hey Attila...thanks for that feedback and all those amazing reference points you mentioned...will need to check out The Pusher Trilogy, so thanks for sign-posting me there...as you can gather, I'm a big fan of his work but I'm really pleased that the set evoked other influences for you...and I'm with you about Swayzak ...think I might do some more of these...cheers mate ::))
'More of these' sounds damn good! Can't wait!
yaaaaas!
just got Reeve new un on but sooo looking forward to this tonight mate 👌
Glad you mentioned REEV's set mate...will get that one on later...have a sweet evening Daryll....thanks again for the cracking support ::))
that Silence track is a thing of beauty mate, sounds like they sampled an old telephone ringing and layered a harp over it.... lush sounds there man!
so I got to finish this today at work and whats to say mate..... some brilliant edgy stuff in here, loving the mixtape vibe too really suits , like you just wanna let the tunes speak for themselves and man they do, loads of cool stuff, Strange Pleasures tune, Invitation like a real blast with superb vocals same with Eyes Without a face, feeling all educated on the synthwave scene all of a sudden 🤣 but seriously Stuart this sounds so fresh to me and thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish mate, hats well and truly off for this un 🙏
Hey mate...I am so unbelievably thrilled at your response to this set...the amount of detail in your comments is very gratifying and really pleased that you liked the synth wave soundtrack with its 80s feel...your latest is an absolute corker of a set, and so pleased that you're getting such great feedback...have a great weekend ::))
Beautiful!, just beautiful. You're getting a reputation for being a better storyteller than Teresa May :) Love what you do with your mixes - thoughtful, insightful and very, very clever!!
Great choice of tracks and really enjoyed your mixtape - been a long time since I've heard one. Thoroughly enjoyed not needing to have a pencil handy in case my cassette got chewed!! Really loved the Marsaeux take on eyes without a face. and you can never go wrong with a Pin Up Club track!! Wicked mix ya big genius!!! x
Lol...very topical Mr.ET...she'll still be burying her head in the sand after tonight ::))
I quite enjoy doing mixtape type of sets occasionally...just let the music do the talking and hopefully go on a journey or create an image...I'm so pleased you enjoyed it and Marsheaux fitted well with the 80s feel...big thanks again mate ::))
Liking the mix tape stubbie.... some chilled out lovely tracks here, have really enjoyed listening to this this afternoon, very nice. Strange Pleasures and Yes are great :)
Cheers mate...appreciate your support and glad that you enjoyed listening to this...Still Corners and Symmetry churn out some amazing tunes...well worth checking out...be checking your new one soon...all the best ::))

Thanks for your time mate and really appreciate hearing your thoughts on this, my first proper synth mixtape ::))
It's a bit perfunctory in comparison with the sophisticated synthy blends that you deliver so well but I'm pleased with this first attempt...cheers again ::))
