For those who love the genre of Retrowave music, New Retro Wave Records is a common name. With 860k+ subscribers on their YouTube channel, NRW is a dominating influencer in the Retrowave genre. Now, they are stretching their reach into Dance/EDM music. With their latest album drop, AKUMA II, produced by ALEX and TOKYO ROSE, NRW Records is charting higher than ever before.
The combination of dance/EDM, electronic, and Retrowave brings an unconventional sound to the EDM world. AKUMA II is a brilliant mix of the 80s/90s vibe of Retrowave and the modern twist of today’s electronic music. EDM fans can expect an added retro sound unique from what they are used to, while Retrowave fans can expect a more modern approach without losing that nostalgic feel.
In 2017, NRW released the album AKUMA, which charted on Billboard Electronic Album Charts at #15. This year, AKUMA II bested its predecessor by charting on Billboard Electronic Album Chart at #5 and the iTunes electronic album sales chart at #13. AKUMA II is the highest charting album for NRW Records so far. AKUMA II also boasts five days at the #1 spot on the front page of Bandcamp. Twenty-four hours after its release, AKUMA II sold out all physical copies.
As the Retrowave genre continues to grow, NRW remains at the forefront of the movement. AKUMA II is another step towards their goal of bringing higher awareness of the genre to the mainstream public. With new projects already on their way, New Retro Wave Records is sure to generate plenty of attention this year.
New Retro Wave is on all major social media platforms including YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
