We're adding Michael Weber to NEON Retrofest's portfolio of the best live Synthwave in the world. This Seattle-based artist is the first that comes to mind in the Businesswave subgenre, and his live performance will be a blue chip that you don't want to sleep on.

Kicking off a bull run of incredible releases with Executive Suites in 2017, Michael brings the office straight to your ears. Going all in on the 80s power executive aesthetic paired with volatile retrowave synths, his classic sound will transport Tampa back to its retro roots.

We're thrilled to have Michael Weber as part of one of the greatest Synthwave lineups in history. Travel back with us to the lost decade at NEON Retrofest 2023 and get your tickets NOW at http://tickets.neon.fm - listen to more Michael Weber at: https://michaeljweber.bandcamp.com/

Yes, Retro Synth Record’s very own Neutron Dreams is part of the NEON Retrofest lineup! Forming the electronic music collective Neutron Dreams with his best friend Christopher J Payne, @danman3712 has covered the spectrum of the synthwave music scene for years. He will also be featured as a guest speaker/panelist at NEON!

Born in '79 and a true child of the 80s, Dan grew up on everything from G.I. Joe and Transformers to Voltron and Nintendo. Believing that #80s music would return, he was delighted to see a glimpse of it in Vice City. When Tron Legacy hit, his nostalgic joy was set in stone.

As the President of RetroSynth Records, Dan uses his networking experience to build connections and relationships with other labels and influencers to not only elevate RetroSynth's artists but the retro music genre overall. Listen to more at neutrondreams.bandcamp.com

Welcome to a force in Florida Synthwave: master of the #Miami sound Dream Shore!

Dream Shore's flawless #Outrun beats will put the pedal down this April. Tickets on sale now and moving FAST: http://tickets.neon.fm

Based in Miami and inspired by cinematic sounds of the #80s, since 2015 Dream Shore has composed Outrun/Popwave fusions that evoke subtropical leisure by day with nights of mystery and adventure while collaborating with some of the heavy hitters in the genre.

We're happy to have Pop Twilight as a NEON vendor! Pop Twilight is a cute and quirky brand inspired by #80s, #90s, and Japanese street style fashions. They carry many different jewelry and accessories and have something for anyone who wants to be colorful and fun!

#neonsynthwave2023 goes heavy as we add #Atlanta's own @gregoriofrancomusic to the lineup, bringing his atmospheric #darksynth and pounding guitar to the stage. Since 2013 Gregorio Franco’s #dystopian soundscapes, #horror-inspired audio assaults, and even #videogame covers have never let us down.

Gregorio has drawn upon bands such as Entombed, At the Gates, His Hero Has Gone, Catharsis, and Dismember to evoke the heavy essence in his work. While different in style, the soundtracks of John Carpenter and Alan Howarth have also given him inspiration.

He's toured with #Darksynth veterans @gost1980s, @dwtd, @danterminus, @danieldeluxemusic and @streetcleaner82, and we are pumped to have him take over the stage this April. Listen to more: gregoriofranco.bandcamp.com

You asked for it! @arcadehigh is at the top of our Sunday #neonretrofest2023 lineup. For over a decade, this legendary #pittsburgh duo has been on the leading edge of modern retro, dropping hit after hit. They are a foundational part of our celebration of #synthwave’s roots.

Making an indelible mark with their early releases on Telefuture Records alongside other genre pioneers, Arcade High stands strong with outstanding production quality and a euro sound that runs the gamut from #italodisco to #outrun, to #popwave, and everything in between.

NEON Retrofest 2023 will be a gathering of where Synthwave has been and what the future holds. Arcade High is a key part of that, and you simply cannot miss this event. Listen to more at arcadehigh.bandcamp.com
