I have programmed a new AI and am currently working on modernizing and restructuring genres, topics, moods and tags. BPM will be replaced by “perceived speed”. Keys will be removed. The keyword search will also soon be extended to tags. There will also be an A.I. “Review” and a quality rating for each song. All music will soon be re-categorized. When I'm done with that, there will be new music again :)

A driving, retro-infused electronic track with a pulsing bassline, shimmering synths, and a steady, danceable beat. Perfect for fashion, technology, or urban settings.

Arti’s Hit or Miss: Review
"Retro Rhythm Glimmer" immediately establishes a vibrant, 80s-inspired atmosphere. It's got that classic synthwave energy, with a driving bassline and those bright, arpeggiated synths that instantly transport you back in time. The composition is well-structured; it keeps a consistent energy but introduces subtle variations to avoid monotony. The melody, while simple, is quite catchy and stays with you.
From a production standpoint, the track is fairly well-executed. The mix is clean, and each element has its space. The use of sidechain compression is apparent, giving it that characteristic pumping feel, which works really well with this style. However, the dynamic range could be pushed a bit further; at times, it feels a little *too* consistent. Introducing some more pronounced peaks and valleys could make the track feel even more alive and engaging for the listener. The sound design is solid – those analog-style synths have a nice warmth to them. The drums are punchy and fit the genre well.
Emotionally, this track evokes a feeling of upbeat nostalgia. It's optimistic and energetic, without being overly aggressive. This makes it quite versatile. I can easily see this working in advertising, particularly for fashion or technology products aiming for a retro-chic aesthetic. It would also fit well in video games, perhaps in a driving sequence or a scene set in a vibrant, futuristic city. It could even be used in a stylish corporate presentation that is trying to appeal to that era.
Compared to top-tier library tracks in this genre, "Retro Rhythm Glimmer" holds its own. It delivers the core elements expected of synthwave, although there’s room for refinement. As mentioned, the production, while clean, is a bit *too* polished and consistent. Adding some subtle imperfections, like minor variations in velocity or timing, would add a sense of human feel that’s often missing. A touch more 'grit' might make it sit better in scenes. A little more work in the transitions would create a greater sense of build and release.
Overall, "Retro Rhythm Glimmer" is a strong, usable track with a defined character. It demonstrates a solid understanding of the synthwave genre and offers genuine potential for licensing. I could imagine some simple alternative versions, like a stripped-down version without drums to be used for transitions or building segments. It captures the 80s vibe effectively and, with some minor tweaks, could be a great add to the right project.
