Nate Cull’s Cyberpunk Rock Opera

A few years ago I started idly searching Youtube and stumbled over a treasure: offbeat 1980s New Wave and synthpop songs. Some from bands you’ve heard of. Some that you may never have seen. Some which stirred faint memories. Some which were completely new to me. So I started collecting them, and then I started blogging a few. Meanwhile, I started putting them into playlists.

Working Soundtrack

I spent the day working to this. I’ve got a soft-spot a mile wide for Seven Lions. He made dubstep make sense for me, and when I need deep focus there is nothing like it. I’ve been working, running, lifting, and vibing to his enormously epic, trancy beats ever since. The second half of this mix is Crystal Skies, a DJ duo with a similarly fantastic energy.
