living the 80ies – classic synthwave
vapor electronica

Cruising «Back To The Future» on our 1988 Multivan or an «DMC Delorean», listening to synth pop from the golden age of 1982 and 1984. Celebrating the sounds of the best decade of our live. Stuck in the 80ies and we love it.

about

Living the 80ies, watching «Back To The Future», «Blade Runner», «Terminator», going to movies having Popcorn, listening to Depeche Mode, Radiorama and Den Harrow, cruising on a «Piaggio Ciao» Moped, wearing oversized white shirts, bluejeans with stripes and greasy hairgel. That was the time of our live.

The «Vectrex» was a vector display-based home videogame console from 1982, the only ever released for the home market, developed by MB Smith Engineering. The «Vectrex» was the first console to have a 3D based peripheral, so a real virtual room simulation. Living in a parallel «Vectrex» universe.

we are 80ies
