Does anyone know any good synthwave artists? I've been listening to Dreamkid on Bandcamp, but I thought I'd also see what other people are listening to.

Obvious answer for me is the Midnight. They definitely can be a bit over the top at times.

I really like Kavinsky's latest album Reborn, specifically the song Pulsar.

Not sure what falls under the genre but New Order subculture is a classic

As far as artists who primarily make synthwave:
Dance With The Dead, FM-84, Gunship, Lazerhawk, Magic Sword, and Miami Nights 1984
I'm also a big fan of Erang (he mostly makes Dungeon Synth music, but he's got a couple of synthwave albums, namely Anti Future and Songs of Scars

If you like darksynth, Perturbator. His Dangerous Days album slaps.

I listen to the synthwave lofigirl YouTube livestream at work. It's pretty good.

I've recently been listening to this album by Lazy Laser called Ride On Space Cowboy.

Synthwave with a dash country western twang.
