Space Jams and Steel City Collective team up to bring you a fresh gathering of Synthwave splendour to kick off the summer of 2022. Due to popular demand, the event has now become an all day experience
A variety of Popwave / Outrun / Retrowave artists with signature sounds invite you to dance the night away, bringing you a Synthwave party you'll never forget. Including hot Retrowave DJs, exclusive merchandise and giveaways, and some of that addictive 80's aesthetic we can't get enough of. The lineup includes:
WAVESHAPER
Waveshaper is a Swedish artist inspired by the soundtrack scene of the 80s / early 90s. His sound is cinematic and melodic with a modern mix that reminds of the French House sound. He grew up spending a lot of time on Atari/Amiga and video games that clearly is represented in his tracks.
Waveshaper emerged back in 2013 and but the last couple of years has blossomed into one of the most well known artists in the so called Synthwave scene. In 2016 he released the album “Station Nova” on NRW Records (New Retro Wave) and contributed with 4 original tracks to the PS4 / Xbox game “Furi” OST, alongside names like Danger and Carpenter Brut among others.
With a gazillion albums and EPs under his belt already, Waveshaper’s rise to Syntwave stardom is imminent and if his most recent and universally acclaimed releases aren’t enough, just dig a little bit deeper into the Swedish artist’s discography to understand why he’s one of the fastest growing names in the scene.

BECKETT
Synthwave & Talkbox with a backdrop of 80's beats. It's Pretty Awesome!
The music of Beckett is inspired by the movie soundtracks and lifestyles of the 1980's. It’s a clear love for the electronic palette of synthesizers, drum machines and studio electric guitars infused with Miami sunsets, L.A. Neon and the glamour of 80's fashion.
BRANDON
Brandon is an electronic producer of Synthwave / Retrowave music – music that aims to capture the iconic sounds of 1980's pop and electronic music, while throwing in a few modern production techniques to create a sound that is nostalgic, yet somewhat fresh at the same time.
The 80's is often defined as being the decade of ‘excess’, and Brandon aims to capture that in his music by fusing bright synth-leads with funky guitar riffs and larger-than-life old-school electronic drums.
IVERSEN
IVERSEN are an East-London based retro pop project, primarily composed of Josh Iverson & Jonny Royall. Driven by borrowed nostalgia, the films of Nicolas Winding Refn and Bruce Hornsby, Josh’s confessional songwriting speaks of love, lust and the anxieties that lay between, drenched in synth & shimmering guitar. They are joined onstage by Joshua Hart & Jay Sabourin.
YOUNG EMPRESS
Young Empress are a Synthwave duo inspired by movie soundtracks & 80s nostalgia. With a shared love of classic synths, haunting guitars, powerful harmonies & punchy, 80s inspired drums. Bursting with energy this duo has managed to craft their own unique brand of Synthwave.
