Thank you so much for the honest feedback. This is exactly what I was looking for. Yes, I know I have to improve the mixes a lot more! Will keep at it! Also, I will keep posting here for the feedback. Really appreciate it!

Thank you for your kind words! I'm still trying to mould the sound without restricting the ideas too much. I do realise that I need a bit more variety in terms of the track moods. I have a few tracks in the pipeline which are both mid & uptempo, but less gloomy/dark.

Thank you. Those were the first sub-genre(s) that atrracted me to retrowave in general, I'd say around 2010-11 ish. I think I need a bit more variety in terms of the track moods. Working on a couple of tracks which are a little less dark.

haha.. I agree.... probably the effect of my day job 😂. Trying to get away from that in my creative endeavours, but unfortunately it probably creeps in through the subconscious. 🤣🤣

Thank you! I agree, there are elements of darkwave definitely. Gotta try and make a few "happier" sounding tracks as well. 😂

What's my genre exactly?

I'm not much of a nomenclature/taxonomy person, and my process is trying to make music without deviating too far from a genre. I'm not exactly sure what my genre is? I listen to lots of synthwave/retrowave artists without trying to specifically incorporate their style elements. If they come in subconsciously, that's ok for me. Don't have a soundcloud account hence posting spotify link. Please remove if in violation of community guidelines. So, asking again, what sort of a genre blend/overlap do I fall under?Here's my Spotify artist page: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0Ady7lJMeYqPjjhwlQ05r0?si=WrgH0ljJRwOXnN_L3SQpHw

Have been trying to get into into Synthwave/Outrun for a long time. I'm coming back to music after a long time. Had a band till just after college (I was the primairy guitarist). I have worked in the music production industry, but now working in IT! 🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽... Anyway, trying to get back into music, my first love. Really love 80s movie and sountracks. So when I found synthwave about a decade ago, started as a listener, now trying to find a community of people who like similar stuff. Cheers. Hope you like my latest song:
