Does anyone know any good synthwave artists? I've been listening to Dreamkid on Bandcamp, but I thought I'd also see what other people are listening to.

VHS Dreams, FM-84

Check out Power Glove, specifically their EP 2043: Volume 1. It's a bit different to your regular synthwave, it's darker and a bit more influenced by techno.

As far as artists who primarily make synthwave:
Dance With The Dead, FM-84, Gunship, Lazerhawk, and Magic Sword
I'm also a big fan of Erang (he mostly makes Dungeon Synth music, but he's got a couple of synthwave albums, namely Anti Future and Songs of Scars

Pilotpriest, Lazerhawk, Kavinsky is great, too

If you like darksynth, Perturbator. His Dangerous Days album slaps.

Mr.Kitty’s Ephemeral album is one of my favorite electronic albums of all time.

Perturbator, VHS Glitch, and on the more chiptune/metal side but still synth: Master Boot Record.
