The playlist I’ve compiled is a combination of songs, sounds and artists that influence Junks and the kind of music I like to mix when i’m DJing at parties or at my monthly retrowave party, Totally Rad.
The list reflects my love of synthwave and 80s synthpop, with songs that give me that warm and fuzzy nostalgic feeling, evoking images of the neon-drenched, Blade Runner-esque cityscapes implanted in my brain from too-much-movie-watching but also from my life here in the futuristic cities of Hangzhou and Shenzhen, China.

SunGhosts‘ band members compiled some of their keystone musical influences. These songs and artists helped to shape the way they channel their energy into their instruments and create something new & completely original on an individual basis. Once you listen to what has inspired each band member, then you can see how SunGhosts’ sound is like sedimentary rock n’ roll (geology pun!) Be sure to pick up our album which is due out next week. It is available here.

So the thread that ties these songs together – these songs all were “breakthrough” songs for us with these bands. Either they’re the songs that got us into the bands or the songs that broke them open to new fans.

I’ve been traveling around the world as a touring musician for most of my adult life. In recent years, I’ve compiled an eclectic list of songs that I occasionally turn to. Whether I’m on a plane, getting ready for a show, or simply hanging in my hotel room, these songs have become my go-to touring tunes. There’s no complex reason behind the song selection other than these specific songs make me feel good. Touring can sometimes be tough on the body and mind. When I’m homesick or feeling tired, good vibes are essential to surviving life on the road.
