Neon City Synthwave Radio

10/17/2025

It has been three years since Neon City last aired. Hosting the show inspired me to run off and make electronic synth music of my own. I have two cool projects to share with you, the first being my solo electronic work under the name cornerSun. I recently released a concept album about an AI entity that is envious of human creativity and yearns to be human. It's called THE WEAK SIGNAL and can be found here.

The second project I am a part of is LITE BYTE, with a wonderful singer named Sarah. We have more of a synthpop vibe and do electronic covers of well known tracks.

See our video for our MAD WORLD cover here.

And he plays some seriously uptempo cybersynth and darksynth between his tales of mischief.
