Power Rob brings a fresh perspective to synth-wave, infusing the genre with his distinctive sound characterized by catchy hooks, dynamic vocals, and irresistible beats. As the lead singer and songwriter of Thrillkiller and Megatronix, Rob embarked on his solo synth-wave journey with the debut release “Runaway,” showcased live at the 2020 Retro Future Fest. From smooth ballads to energetic anthems, Power Rob’s music is electrifying, embodying his passion for all things electric.
Power Rob’s new single, “Restless Summer,” in collaboration with Miami Nights 1984 immediately transports you to a dreamy, nostalgic place. The track opens with evocative synth pads that slowly intensify, setting a hypnotic yet calm atmosphere. As more layers are added – shimmering synth arpeggios, subtle percussion – it feels less like a song and more like an audio mood board.

While the title implies restlessness, the music itself is quite soothing. It has a timeless quality that references both vintage synth-wave as well as modern chilled-out electronic tracks. Miami Nights 1984 constructs the song with expert precision, introducing new elements at just the right moments to maintain intrigue.
By the time the 3:40 mark hits, the song reaches a gorgeous peak. The synths sparkle brightly against the backdrop of echoed vocals by Power Rob and an increased sense of motion in the beats. It’s a true highlight that had me replaying just this section over and over. The layered sounds and textures create an incredibly immersive listen. Power Rob’s vocals is the perfect companion for the whole aura of the song.
