88TiMES is a retro-wave digital band from the creative mind of Charlie Zartt. 88TiMES takes you on a sonic journey back to the neon-lit streets of the 1980s. Born out of a deep love for retro-futurism, synthesizer sounds, and the electrifying spirit of the ‘80s, the music blends pulsating rhythms with dreamy melodies, evoking memories of a time when arcades were king and VHS tapes ruled the night. Growing up in the greatest creative decade yet, the 1980s - Charlie found his early inspiration in the synth-heavy soundtracks of classic films, emerging technologies, and the vibrant energy of new-wave music. His passion for the era’s aesthetic—neon lights, fast cars, and arcade games—infuses every beat and bass line, creating a sound that’s as much a tribute to the past as it is a call to rediscover the joy of living in the moment. 88TiMES' mission is to create a soundtrack as your own personal time machine, helping you relive those carefree nights of the past or dream up your own neon-soaked future. Whether you're cruising down a city highway or lost in the glow of your favorite memories, 88TiMES is here to keep the spirit of the '80s alive—one synth at a time. Follow the neon trail with 88TiMES. Digital music with 80s heart! #88TiMES #Synthwave #RetroFuturism #NeonDreams #CharlieZartt
