Synths up, souls on fire: SOFT RIOT delivers a masterclass in DIY synthesizer post-punk with Crux, balancing minimalism, mild psychedelia, and EBM-laced new wave, while Von Helfenstein bridges worlds with bamboo-driven khaen drones woven through modular synth. Modern Ideas crafts dramatic, cinematic '80s synth-pop from a Melbourne garage — "plastic dreams, electric romance, machines humming with human desire" — and Hex Formes brings industrial-tinged darkwave perfect for "vampire hunting or self destruction." BlakLight rounds things out with haunting, dancefloor-driven dark synthpop, while Demiurgo leads you through a labyrinth of evolving sequences and dark atmospheric textures inspired by the myth of Daedalus.
