Dark synthwave goes so well with psychedelics. 5

I was introduced to "dark synthwave" music by my brother and ended up checking a lot of it out. My bro is a big gamer and found some stuff on spotify that sounded like video game music so I gave it a listen and liked it. When I listened to it on LSD and psilocybin though, I was blown away. It's weird because I am not into techno and etc but this dark synth stuff is awesome.

Love Daniel Deluxe & Perturbator. I met Perturbator a few years ago. I was going to one of his first American gigs ever in NYC, and I got into town well early so I went to scope out the venue. Found him out front, smoking a cig. Struck up a conversation, super nice guy. Seemed very surprised to have someone recognize him on the street. 
I’ve seen him, I’ve seen Gost (twice), Carpenter Brut (twice), Dance With The Dead (got them to sign my copy of their LP), all dark synth dudes. Saw Com Truise and Magic Sword. In a couple months I’m going to see Dance with the Dead, Magic Sword, and Das Mörtal together.
If you’re in the northeast of USA, consider going to the Neon Retrofest this summer. Gonna be a ton of Dark Synth & Synthwave artists playing.
Edit: and yeah, the music goes great with drugs, per your OP. Try regular “light” synthwave paired with MDMA some time. 
To contribute some dark synth music, I thought the Apocalypse album by We Are Magonia is pretty good.
Fixions is insane. Try Genocity.

That is awesome! Daniel Deluxe's new album Exile just came out and is more good stuff.
Logic i listened to a bit of each of those, both up my alley.
Neon Retrofist seems awesome and I could potentially make it, no artists are listed though, once I see names I would consider it more. This Fixion stuff is going in my trip playlist.

Yeah they haven’t announced the lineup yet, but the one in 2018 was ridiculous. Just awesome synth artist after awesome synth artist. Keep your eyes peeled for it.
Glad you like Fixions, he has several albums out and they’re all really well done. Try out Gregorio Franco too, he’s got some really nice stuff.
Thanks for the tip on the new Deluxe album! I hadn’t heard it was out because I’ve been on this older music kick lately and have been completely ignoring new releases. Gonna try to check it out today though.
If you like dark synth for tripping, also try out Dan Terminus. The album below is from the same label as a lot of Perturbator’s output, and it’s real crazy. Even the album art is pretty psychedelic.
Dan Terminus- Wrath of Code

Funny thing about those. Channels owned by dudes like Prime Thanatos, 80s Guy, Odysseus, Luigi Donatello, etc. all have tons of great synthwave. But all that stuff, like the stuff posted above, is more in line with what I would consider to be playlists, they’re just songs lumped, unmixed, into an hour long chunk. Don’t get me wrong, there’s a ton of killer music in there, but I love a real genuine mix. Where the music is blended. Curiously, despite being obviously electronic music, synthwave and dark synth functions more like rock music, and as such it mixes poorly. It’s difficult to DJ well, and most people don’t even bother. A DJ/producer called Cosmo Cocktail does do honest mixtapes of synthwave and they’re pretty good, but I haven’t encountered a whole lot of people who try. I’m just talking here, for OPs purposes I’m sure this stuff is fine, the synth playlist. I find it’s a great way to find new music. But when you already know what you like, listening to full LPs by artists you enjoy is the way to go in this genre.
Hope you have/had a great trip OP! Srsly, listen to Fixions or Dan Terminus. Perturbator’s ‘Uncanny Valley’ is my favorite by him.

Oh yeah, and here’s another of my favorite dark synth albums. 2/4 of these guys score Stranger Things, it’s excellent music. It’s more stark compared to Pert or Terminus, but it’s complex and beautiful.

That’s the remix by C418, it is good. That guy scored a popular children’s video game called Minecraft, and that remix was used on the Netflix cast/producer feature show about Stranger Things. I forget what it was called. But straight up unremixed S U R V I V E is so amazing too.

I've been listening through these at night when I'm working in my machine shop. I always really appreciate some new music, and synthwave goes great with running CNC machines.

Yo, nice call on the 𝓥 𝓐 𝓟 𝓞 𝓡 𝓦 𝓐 𝓥 𝓔. Luxury Elite is one of my favorites in the genre, probably my top choice. The album that that song is from, ‘World Class’, is sooo good. Her ‘Noir’ is pretty perfect too.

I don’t know if that’s the vid you meant to share, but I’m not at all familiar with Richard Pinhas. I mostly know Windows 96 from that ‘One Hundred Mornings’ album, which was great. I also listened to the one that followed it (blanking on the name rn), and enjoyed that too.
