Jan Hammer - Crockett's Theme

[Retro]

Mellow electronica from 1984. Absolutely epic, love it and this is the long version for even more goodness. I've had this on repeat play many times.

This is the Miami Vice theme.

This was a good track. Not heard the 12" before

Indeed, it's various levels of awesome.

Here's an amazing live version I've just found. Created by Kebu, it's best played loud with lots of bass!

Note: if it doesn't annoy the neighbours and make the room shake, then there's not enough bass.

Kebu is really good at pulling some of these synthwave things off live; his take on Giorgio Moroder's Chase (linked below) or some of his live performances of Jean Michel Jarre are very impressive. And he seems like he's having fun doing it.

Wow, I really like that! Again, goes great with moar bass!!

I'd not heard of Kebu before discovering that first video today and immediately subbed his channel. Brilliant covers and yeah, he clearly loves it. I think creating electronic music is one of the coolest things ever and I wish I could do it.

I'm gonna post this excellent second track in its own thread.

I've updated my OP with a remix. Check it out.

 

[Crims]

I think you'd really like Kavinsky's album with ProtoVision. It's the same feel but recent (and more melodic than most new retrowave)

 

[Retro]

Thank, I'll check it out.
