It's December, the last month of this bizarre year. You could say a year to forget, but luckily there were a lot of cool new synthwave releases. This special features the favorite releases of different artists. We end with my personal favorite releases from 2020.
Dear friends, although I look back at 2020 with mixed feelings the music always made me happy. Fear and pain made room for tranquility and acceptance (not always, but I do my best). We don´t know what 2021 will bring, but I hope there will be light at the end of the tunnel. We need to get together again and celebrate life and music. Therefore I wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy 2021, where all your dreams will come true. Stay safe, stay healthy and keep an eye out to each other!
