Retro rhythms and analogue nostalgia abounds in Synthwave 2: 1.4GB of drum machine grooves, epic arpeggios, interstellar synths, lush pads and emotive chords fusing Tron-style synthetics and 80s pop sensibilities to define the sound of the decade.

Packed once again with hundreds of classic beats and catchy melodies - all processed through retro outboard for an authentic 80s vibe - the collection effortless merges synth pop, retro electro and new wave influences.
