An evocative fusion of darkwave, synthwave, minimal wave, and post-punk that redefines electronic artistry

Detroit, MI — [8/13/2025] — Detroit-born electronic artist Tiffadelic is proud to announce the release of her highly anticipated new album, Retrosynthesis, arriving on September 18, 2025 via the cutting-edge independent label Darthpira Records. Known for her moody blend of darkwave, synthwave, minimal wave, and post-punk, Tiffadelic crafts a soundscape that is haunting, atmospheric, and emotionally resonant.

Following the momentum of her acclaimed singles “I Tried” and “Nazareth (B.O.P),” which have garnered praise for their gripping production and emotive storytelling, Tiffadelic continues to build her reputation.

Her music has gained a massive attention and notable fans including Justin Warfield and Adam Bravin (She Wants Revenge), Modern English, The Glass Spells and other luminaries within the darkwave and post-punk communities.

Retrosynthesis delves deep into themes of memory, transformation, and the alchemy of past and present, combining vintage synth textures with stark, minimalistic beats and gritty post-punk edge. The album channels Detroit’s rich musical heritage, merging the city’s industrial spirit with a futuristic, cinematic vision.

“This album is my way of piecing together fragments of the past and future into something new — a sonic collage that reflects growth and metamorphosis,” says Tiffadelic. “I wanted to capture the tension between nostalgia and innovation; all rooted in the sounds and soul of Detroit.”

steve-greene-electronic-dreams-for-a-holographic-existence Voyag3r’s Steve Greene Challenges the Nature of Reality on Solo Debut Sci-Fi Synth Album Electronic Dreams for a Holographic Existence

Electronic composer and producer Steve Greene (Voyag3r) releases his first solo album, ELECTRONIC DREAMS FOR A HOLOGRAPHIC EXISTENCE, on Jan. 26, fresh off Voyag3r’s inclusion on Lakeshore Records’ THE RISE OF THE SYNTHS companion album. Pre-orders for Greene’s sci-fi-infused synth album open on Jan. 5 on vinyl via Bellyache Records, and in digital stores (including Bandcamp) and on CD and cassette via Battle Chamber Music.

The all-hardware, all-analog instrumental, synthesizer-driven album recalls the iconic work of composers such as Vangelis (BLADE RUNNER), Tangerine Dream (THIEF, RISKY BUSINESS), and John Carpenter (ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK, HALLOWEEN).

ELECTRONIC DREAMS FOR A HOLOGRAPHIC EXISTENCE could be a score for a film-not-yet-made, based on a lost Philip K. Dick story, that tackles the big question of humanity’s relationship with technology, and if we’re deeper into a technology-driven false reality than we think we are.

“The concept of the album poses the question of whether we’ve always been living in some type of augmented or virtual reality and we’re now only becoming aware of the small hints of it in our place in existence,” Steve Greene said.

Greene recorded his album’s eight minimalistic, nuanced synth tracks in his Battle Chamber studio in the Detroit area, using a wide array of vintage gear: a Sequential Circuits Pro-One and SixTrak, a Moog MiniTaur and Micro Moog, Alesis Ion, MultiVox MX-202 and Roland Alpha Juno 2. He even used a Rhodes Mark V electric piano on some songs. He also played saxophone. The results make for a moving experience.

“I believe it’s all a personal preference and my preference is hardware synthesizers and real instruments,” Greene says. “In general, tactile manipulation and physical performance is where it’s at for me. That approach just feels and sounds real — unique character and even imperfections all make for a vibe that I can connect with.”

On ELECTRONIC DREAMS FOR A HOLOGRAPHIC EXISTENCE, Greene has distilled the sum of a life of diverse musical influences and experiences into a compelling eight-song instrumental album. Whether or not listeners get enveloped by Greene’s pondering of some degree of singularity, they are sure to experience something that stays with them after the album’s final note ends.

“I’m sure it will mean different things to different people,” Greene said. “I’d feel like I accomplished something if this album took some listeners to places, in their mind, they might not normally go.”

1. “Triad of the Dark”
