Reach Back Through Time is the second collaboration between Costa Rican composer/producer Walter Alienson and British singer-songwriter/producer Minute Taker. After meeting in an online synthwave fan group in 2020, they joined forces remotely to create their first irresistibly nostalgic synth-pop song Neon Lines. Released in 2021, the track celebrated how retrowave music can bring like-minded people from all over the world together in their shared love of all things 80s.

That theme is expanded upon in Reach Back Through Time, a song that seeks to reconnect you with your childhood self and all of the dreams and passions that shaped your world back then. 

Mixed by Matt Aslanian (Jessie Frye, Timecop1983, Ollie Wride), the song simultaneously sounds old and new, with influences from 80s synthpop like A-ha and Pet Shop Boys, along with modern synthwave like The Midnight, and even some prog rock ballads by the likes of ELO and Supertramp.

Martin Gore was actually THE reason why Kay from Platronic started with writing songs. It was literally love at first listen. She was overwhelmed by the intensity and intimacy of his lyrics and could not get enough of this special warm vibrato of his voice. Town And Towers Records eventually encouraged her to cover one of her favourite songs. Together with her partner in crime Sami, Platronic has created a very personal and sensual version of 'The Things You Said'...

"Last Days Of You" is the first single from Kidburn’s upcoming new album "Fooled By The Rush Of Growing Up (late 2023)". The follow up to the highly successful “Love In Times Of Death (2022)”

This new song talks about the last days of two young lovers before the end of their relationship. They both know that their relationship is doomed and there’s no way they could change that. As written in the lyrics: “we’re only lovers, waiting for the end to come …”.

This single melancholy mood anticipates the focus of the entire album. The transitional period between adolescence and adulthood that every human being goes through. The theme of the album is generational changes, family, parenting, young love. A genuine ‘coming of age’ story that will resonate with audiences worldwide.

'Two Faced Lover' is an empowering anthem that showcases Michaela May's distinctive style and vocal prowess. The track dives deep into the complexities of a tumultuous relationship, as Michaela boldly confronts her unfaithful lover. With an unapologetic spirit, she exposes the lies and deceit, shedding light on her partner's true intentions. 

This synth-pop gem is an uptempo dancefloor filler, seamlessly blending elements of synthpop, disco and contemporary pop. The song features infectious synth work, groovy basslines, and vibrant string flourishes reminiscent of the iconic sound made famous by ABBA in the 70s.

Michaela May's incredible vocals soar above the infectious production, creating an irresistible combination that will undoubtedly captivate listeners.
