2024 & Parx-e is still going strong. Still, a labor of love for me. I enjoy running it. I still love discovering new talent as well as supporting people that matter to me. My anxiety is still there but it isn’t as bad as it once was. Every now and then it plays up but I have it under control mostly. I launched a new giveaway compilation CD in April. Did an awesome campaign for it. Did some more giveaway magazines plus a few interviews. Parx-e is a huge part of my life and it isn’t going anywhere people.

Music

Let’s talk music and the stuff I have been digging this year.

Everything’s Temporary by Coleurs

Synthwave at it’s best. Good vocals and productions. Away is my pick off the album.

Saint Barthélemy by Florida Room

Brand-new Synthwave act with EP that truly delivers with production and melodies. You truly do get into the vibes of music. I’m hooked.

The Motion Epic

One of the best Synthwave/Synth Pop acts right now. Heartbreakers is an excellent song. High Rollers is a killer album.

Sir George

Another new Synthwave artist who creates amazing music. When I heard Ocean Ryder (Miami Memories) I was truly hooked. The guitar playing on that song is awesome.

Eonian Records

So I did a giveaway compilation CD about Eonian Records picked my favorite tracks was allowed to do so. Did an awesome ad campaign using CAASie and got billboards, ads around Melbourne and places in America. Everyone who has a copy of the CD is really impressed.

Adam Hattaway and the Haunters

Seriously a talented singer songwriter from NZ. Saw him play last month and boy does he sound good live.

The Midnight

Saw them live this year at The Forum and they did a killer show.

Steph Hannah

Steph one of my favorite singer songwriters in Australia who I am very lucky to know and have had on one of my compilation CD. She started playing shows again after a number of years. Such a great voice, and always knows how to put on a good show.

Dakota East

Dakota is a rising country singer songwriter here in Melbourne, Australia. I have been to a number of her shows this year in 2024. She always delivers an excellent set. She gonna go very far.

Alicia Sky

Alicia who I adore and had the pleasure of interviewing and meeting in person. She released a new song this year called In My Mind. It’s excellent addition to Alicia fine catalogue of music.

Heather Rosen

Better Rain by Heather Rosen is an excellent tune. Someone whom I have known for a number of years and it’s a lovely track.

Michigan Sunburn by Veronica Graham is an excellent country tune. Can’t wait to hear more from her?

Robert Parker

One of the kings of Synthwave is back with new music and it’s excellent. Bring on more music please.

Amanda Rogers

Always love it when Amanda releases new music and this is another amazing release by Amanda

Michael Elliott

To me Complete is an excellent song and the album is excellent. So get around it.

Rachel Layne

DAYDREAM by Rachel Layne is a winner in my book. Great to see more music from her.

LYST

When I came across LYST I was totally hooked. His synthwave tunes are truly excellent.

Sophie Armstrong

There is no one more talented than Sophie. She is a master of the Violin and she makes it sound something special.

Catherine Traicos

I love what Catherine does and will always support her in all that she does.

TV Players

These guys are excellent Synthwave act and knew it was finally time to interview them for the site.

Cate Kileva

Talented musician worthy of your ears

Betamaxx

Been a fan for a while now and this EP he did with Michael Weber is truly awesome. Synthwave at it’s best.

Technology

Here are few things this year I used that I thought were excellent. This is what I think is good and I’m not being paid or getting any money from affiliate links for these things.

CAASie.co

When I did my ad campaign for my new giveaway compilation CD. I wanted to think outside the box advertising wise. So I used CAASie to help get my ad poster around Melbourne & the world. So I had my ad at petrol stations, billboards and at places like shopping centres. Even ad boards on top of buildings on major intersections. You can budget how much you wanna spend, the time you show them and see how many times they have been placed. For me it is a game changer. Next giveaway compilation CD will be using it again.

Affinity Photo

I use it almost every day for my site and giveaway stuff. Have just upgraded to the new version. If you want good image editing software. For the price it’s excellent.

Edius

Still my go to video editing software, truly a good piece of software which I still regularly use.

SSD

I can’t go back to normal external drives any more. I have a few of them and for saving files and so on. The speed and how fast they copy over it’s no brainer. PS you can not get a SSD that are 2tb or more for than less than $190. If you see unknown ones for rarely cheap. Don’t buy them. Buy a reputable brand is my best advice.
