SynthRave

SynthRave is a high-energy electronic music subgenre that fuses the warm, melancholic aesthetic and 80s analog sound palette of SynthWave with the driving, euphoric rhythms and build-up/breakdown structures of 90s Eurodance and Trance (Hands Up).
Thematically, SynthRave rejects the typical car/city landscape of Outrun, focusing instead on a distinct retro alien and UFO aesthetic. It is a faster, bouncier version of SynthWave designed for high-intensity dance events and parties.

"Have you heard the new Nova Helix track? That’s pure SynthRave—that bouncy beat and alien theme is infectious."

SynthRave is a high-energy electronic music subgenre that fuses the warm, melancholic aesthetic and 80s analog sound palette of SynthWave with the driving, euphoric rhythms and build-up/breakdown structures of 90s Eurodance and Trance. It also occasionally incorporates the happy, upbeat sound of Bubblegum Dance and the heavy drops of Brostep.
