Why does 80s music still sound so good?
In this interview, I’m joined by Espen Kraft to talk about the sound, production, gear, songwriting, and creative decisions that made 80s music so timeless.
We dive into the elements that defined the era, including synths, drum machines, arrangement, production techniques, mixing choices, and the musical details that still inspire modern synthwave, retrowave, and 80s-inspired producers today.
If you love 80s music, synthwave, vintage synths, or want to understand why that sound still hits so hard decades later, this conversation is for you.
