...and there's Nightcall from the Drive soundtrack. I feel like there's going to be a lot of this song.

No Hotline Miami soundtrack? Too bad.

I feel pretty old/stupid, because when I saw outrun I immediately did a search for this

This would be a lot better if it told you what you were listening to. Or am I just not seeing it somewhere?

That is *exactly* what I thought of too.

actually yes, the (sub)genre is named after the music from that game

I just clicked in and got an unimpressive remix of Madonna's "Lucky Star". I think I'll go back to Great Big Radio which is currently playing Black Dog by Led Zeppelin (preceded by Tina Turner's Only the Best, the Beatles' Yellow Submarine and the Tubes' Talk to Ya Later).

Nowtro's After Dark is amazing. Great for late-night programming sessions.

This would be great if you could see the name of the song they're playing.

No Strange Advance? I find their claims to synth-pop...questionable.

Whatever they're playing, I like it! With this music and pocket full of quarters, everything is possible.

Thanks for the link, this is great.

But... am I an idiot or is there no track identification?

Silent Gloves (the DJ who made this) is working on creating some sort of track ID.

Whoah... i joined the chat and recommended the Miami Nights 1984 remix of Silent Gloves' "So Real," not knowing that i was actually talking to Silent Gloves himself.

Life is funny.

The website didn't work for me due to AdBlock and other extensions. For anyone else having problems, http://mixlr.com/power85/ worked for me.

I'm gonna be listening to this for a looong time.
