After the introduction to the synthwave scene with their debut album ‘Memories’, Coastal’s long awaited return with ‘Constellations’ is finally here.
Coastal - the Leeds UK based duo consisting of Jonathan Fletcher and Aaron Hetherington - made an instant impression in the Synth and Retrowave scene with their debut release which included the fan favourite -, nostalgia drenched ‘Kyoto’ and the electric, driving anthem ‘Midnight Sky’.
Whilst ‘Memories’ focused on the been and gone - ‘Constellations’ brings us on to a new journey into the very present.
Introduced gently with a simple arpeggio, ‘Constellations’ evolves with layer after layer of midnight ambience and driving bass. The space soaked vocals of Aaron Hetherington tell the story of two former lovers. Now divided - but still filled with wonder on how everything could have been different - before breaking down into a brutally honest reflection of fault and how mental health plays a part in breaking a relationship down.
‘Constellations’ explodes into life with power and pace before closing out with a magnificent saxophone section. ‘Constellations’ covers the emotions brought about by a past relationship we never wanted to end.
Recorded back home in Yorkshire, ‘Constellations’ is the first single from the upcoming 2023 sophomore release ‘Heartbeats’.

P.LIMA, a rising figure in Brazil's Melodic scene, has produced his first Synthwave inspired song Far In Love, which contains dreamy melodies and a catchy female vocal.
In this single, P.LIMA explores the Synthwave genre mixing it with a touch of his artistic signature, by using vocal chops, uplifting melodies, and a powerful breakdown on the second half of the song. He wanted to bring a happy, relaxing, and dreamy vibe to this track. P.LIMA started to produce 'Far In Love' in his home studio in Brazil, and finished it in Australia, where he lives now. The whole idea of the song came after he watched the movie Drive for the first time. The soundtrack of the movie, especially the song Nightcall by Kavisnky, strongly inspired the artist to make a Synthwave inspired track.
A celebration of 30 years in the music industry Louise - Greatest Hits includes all of her solo hits including Naked, 2 Faced, Arms Around The World, Let's Go Round Again and Stuck In The Middle With You as well as new favourites Stretch and Lead Me On plus 4 brand new tracks including the latest smash Super Magic.

Maxx Parker said about this new EP: "Lodge On The Lake is a small collection of tracks that I’ve been making throughout winter and I wanted the sounds to reflect this time of year. This EP has a very chilled out approach with moments of moodiness and darkness that adds a more cinematic feel to the project.
I’ve tried to incorporate as much synthwave, vaporwave and chillwave into this EP as possible as well as exploring very different sounds from other genres I’ve yet to use up to this point. I hope it lands as intended".
