Arcade Ocean is the latest project from Vienna-based artist and writer Ingo Frühwirt. Drawing inspiration from the classic retro games, movies and synthesizer music of the 80s, Arcade Ocean is a nostalgic and dreamy journey into the past. Ingo has a long history of playing in various bands before branching out into the world of synth-music.

With Arcade Ocean, he sought to create something that was both familiar and new, blending his love for the classic sounds of a long gone decade with a fresh perspective.

Arcade Ocean's second single "Drive" is a Retrowave track that captures the tension and excitement of falling in love with someone new. With pulsing arpeggiators and a driving beat, "Drive" is a sonic rush through the early stages of a new romance, where the thrill of the unknown is matched only by the excitement of sheer endless possibilities.

34 years since they recorded ‘I Don’t Want A Lover’, then watched, gobsmacked, as it reached Number Eight in the charts, Texas, one of the UK’s most loved bands, have gone on to produce ten studio albums, selling over 40 million records worldwide. So let the fireworks begin as they today announce a special 2LP & 2CD compilation The Very Best Of 1989 - 2023.

There’s the one with The Wu-Tang Clan. The five that were Top 10 singles from one album. The one with Alan Rickman in the video. The one that was an inspired Al Green cover. The two written with diverse titans of American music, Dallas Austin and Gregg Alexander. The one that was remixed by Giorgio Moroder. The one that helped give them their first French Number One album. The segued pair that, according to the woman at the front, makes their live audiences go “absolutely fuckin’ apeshit”. The one with the video directed by Peter Kay. The other one with Wu-Tang Clan. The one that gave them, straight out of the gate, a Top 10 single with their first ever release. The club banger with a killer Donna Summer sample. And the one that ended up the theme song to a top-rating American sitcom.

Texas - The Very Best Of 1989-2023 (click to pre-order) has all of the above, and more. 24 diamonds from a glittering career, including two brand new.

Take a journey into the past and the future where nostalgia and rhythm will take control of you. Aztec Records brings for the fourth time, the best of current retro sounding tunes in one amazing compilation.

Volume 4 of the Pure Retrowave compilation is also curated by Aztec Record's A&R team and showcases some of the strongest referents of the genre as well as some incredible newcomers to the scene.
