About Radio Record Synthwave

Radio Record Synthwave is an online channel of Radio Record that plays synthwave, the retro-futuristic electronic style inspired by 1980s film scores, arcade games and analogue synthesizers. It streams continuously without talk-heavy programming, so listeners get a steady flow of pulsing basslines, neon-lit melodies and nostalgic 80s atmosphere.

Radio Record is one of Russia's best-known electronic dance music broadcasters. According to Wikipedia it began broadcasting on 22 August 1995 in Saint Petersburg and started with trance and house before adding many more genres, with Synthwave among the channels added in 2018. Besides its main on-air programme, it runs a large set of genre-specific internet channels such as this one, each aimed at fans of a particular style. Details about the individual channel's editorial team are not published on the station's site.

The stream is delivered as AAC audio at roughly 96 kbps over HTTPS. The site and presenters are Russian-language, while the music itself is largely instrumental or sung in English. The channel is free to listen to and suits anyone who wants a continuous, genre-focused soundtrack for work, study, driving or the dance floor. The station's website, radiorecord.ru, also offers charts, podcasts and shows about electronic music.
