City Nights (Anniversary Edition)

by Zak Vortex

supported by

Jetfire Prime This is an amazing album. Epic and emotional yet supercool at the same time. Zak Vortex has absolutely nailed the Synthwave feel. My cassette arrived yesterday and looks and sounds awesome! Favorite track: Journey Of The Sorcerer*.

chacod Lots of great tunes here from Zak -- leaning towards the dreamy side of synthwave.

But still there's plenty of muscle in these tracks that'll have you slapping the dashboard as you're cruising through Malibu at midnight with the moon casting reflections on the waves of the Pacific Ocean. Favorite track: Cassette Dreams.

David Rotenburger Another stunning masterpiece of dreamy retrowave that I love and cherish so much! I don't think this amazing music will ever stop as long as there are passionate and nostalgic people out there! Favorite track: Power Drift.

klazzari86 I want to support independent artists like you, because you’re helping to support an established retrowave scene! I ordered two of your cassettes; one for myself, and a friend of mine who lives in New Hampshire here in the U.S.

I hope you keep making new music, because your stuff sounds really good!
