Miami Nights 1984

Miami Nights 1984 is Michael Glover from Victoria, BC, Canada. His obsession with the 1980s has led to the founding of Rosso Corsa Records and a revival of synthesizer music. With Rosso Corsa he is championing many artists such as Mitch Murder, Lazerhawk, Jordan F and Lost years to make 1980s-inspired music with modern fidelity.

Being among the pioneers of this revival, Mike’s first project Actrazer initially defined the Rosso Corsa sound together with output from label co-founder Lazerhawk. They coined their music Outrun, a genre of soundtrack music with epic leads and arpeggiated synths. At the same time, Kavinsky, the Outrunners and the Valerie Collective were all contributing to this new sound.

Since 2010 Michael Glover has been ecstatic about the success of his second project known as Miami Nights 1984 (MN84). Characterized by smooth synthesizers and nostalgic solos, this new sound accentuates the carefree feel of the 1980s.

The Miami Nights sound garnered support on an international scale with the official remix of ‘Somebody I Used To Know.’ by Gotye. It infuses 1980s charm with Gotye’s powerful voices and moody lyrics. Rollings Stone says it’s an “eighties-inspired synth-pop remix, inspired by [mike’s] love of old John Hughes films” while VH1 says “It’s a synth-led 80s redux, and it’s pretty rad”

When asked about influences, Mike says he obviously takes from the 80s: “The music, movies, shows, cars and girls are all running through my imagination when I write a piece of music. I’m not happy with a piece of music unless I can imagine it as the soundtrack to a film or show. Ever since I was a child I enjoyed synth-based music like Tangerine Dream, Jean Michael Jarre and Ray Lynch.” His name coincides with the original run of the Miami Vice TV show on September 28, 1984.

In creating his sound he uses “a variation of analogue synths and virtual instruments in Abelton Live. I’ve been using more virtual instruments for convenience and ability to leave a project without worrying about getting the same sound again.” Many of the parts are first recorded from live instrumentation and tweaked afterward in Ableton.

Building on the successes of Rosso Corsa Records and an official Gotye remix, Mike released the second Miami Nights 1984 full length album Tubulence. Spanning 12 tracks, Turbulence builds upon the synth-pop charms and synthesizer solos from Miami’s first album with more character: orchestra stabs, percussive rushes, slow motion bends and epic interludes distinguish the album. So does the album’s more intense moments which promote the Outrun electro sound we have championed for many years.

Miami Nights 1984’s First New LP in a Decade Is a Triumph

Miami Nights 1984 (AKA Michael Glover), the Victoria, British Columbia-based synthwave pioneer, hasn’t dropped a studio album since 2012’s highly influential Turbulence . That changes today, with the release of the exquisite 15-cut Sentimental . A couple of the tracks you’ll find familiar — there are the popular singles from several years ago, “Accelerated,” “Pavement Surfing,” and “Sunseeker,” along with a number previously called “Untitled” and only available on a random Vehlinggo mix a few years ago — but it’s also loaded with new cuts that include a collaboration with synthwave juggernauts Gunship. The whole thing is a triumphant return.

Generally, the cuts have more in common compositionally and thematically with MN84’s 2010 debut LP Early Summer and Turbulence than Glover’s film score for 2021’s Flinch (more on that in this interview on The Vehlinggo Podcast ). This is to be expected, given the different expectations of the formats. Notably, on Sentimental Glover retains the classic synthwave sound he helped pioneer, while adding in some more modern elements to successful bridge the pre- Drive and post- Stranger Things elements of the scene. He never strays into territory as dark as his Rosso Corsa Records co-founder Garrett “Lazerhawk” Hays, but there are some forays into territory far less sunnier than his 2012 modern classic cut “Ocean Drive” from Turbulence .

One of the interesting aspects of Sentimental is, as I mentioned above, the inclusion of 2015 cuts “Pavement Surfing” and “Accelerated,” the latter which in that year he promoted as the first single off a forthcoming new album. He seems to have inexplicably never uploaded it to Spotify and related platforms, although it’s nearing a million streams on Soundcloud and has likely far exceeded a million YouTube plays across all the videos people have made for it. The kinetic piece of classic outrun is perhaps even more popular than “Ocean Drive” in terms of its place in the synthwave pantheon. It features Glover’s trademarks, such as propulsive rhythms, colorful synthscapes, and catchy hooks. The cut and its essence have been copied so many times since 2015 it can be easy to forget that “Accelerated” is a masterpiece, while so many others are cheap imitations fraying at their edges. Also as I mentioned above, 2017’s lovely mid-tempo moodscape “Sunseeker” finds a spot on the album, too. I’m glad he included it.

Glover deftly handles the intersection of those previously released numbers with the new offerings such that Sentimental never feels like a hodge-podge compilation. It’s a fundamentally cohesive album. Consider “Only When It’s Dark,” the slow-burning and wistful collaboration with the UK-based GUNSHIP, who first entered the scene around the time “Pavement Surfing” dropped. This is the first official vocal number from Miami Nights 1984 and Alex Westaway’s yearning pipes are a perfect complement to the multi-layered synth tapestry Glover unfurls. It’s a cut for those romantic sunset soirees on a crisp and clear night.

“Heat” is warm bath of pastel synths and the delectable sea-salt touch of a brutal summer day. The title cut is a pronounced strut with dank synth arps that contrast the dreamy synth pads that flutter behind them, giving way to a wistful melody that altogether are a formula for the often complicated emotions with which even our best memories are imbued.

The cinematic “Voyage,” which you first heard on Vehlinggo Mix 12 in December 2007, has a delightful momentum to it despite its slower pace. There is a dreamy earnestness to the array of synths, a sentiment the extended guitar-sounding solo deftly amplifies. “Keep Running” comes off as an homage to the minimalist delights of late-Aughts College and the Valerie Collective sound in general. It has that gritty bass part that dominates the arrangement, with a disciplined swirl of synths that spin around it. Infused in it all is a quintessential Miami Nights 1984 vibe that only Glover can really do. It makes me long for the two to do a show together. Hell, I’d sponsor it.

The sand-worn “Tuff Turf” has gigantic, gated drums and apprehensive synths that turn around in place as if Glover is providing a cue to a key scene in a gritty ’80s action flick — but then that stasis gives way to a wave of synths that follow the path of a pronounced, emotive piano part. Don’t forget the sound effects. Overall, this would indeed make for one helluva film cue. I could see its utility in any number of rescores, but a film by director Tony Scott seems most appropriate. “Coastal Bliss” lives up to its name, in terms of the feeling and color it evokes, and it’s a little weird at times, too. It’s a delight.

Album closer “Decelerated” does a good job of being a complementary part of a duality that includes, of course, “Accelerated.” It’s one of the numbers on the record that shows that Glover’s been honing his craft and paying attention to what has been going on around him on studio albums and in film these past 10 years. (The chillsynthy “Ascend” is similar in this way.)

Ultimately, at a time when synthwave is falling prey to copywave and a general oversaturation of tropes that have been around longer than the 1980s, it’s refreshing to hear one of the genre’s inventors find a way to tap into the foundational sonics that made him one of the greats — while nevertheless doing something new. He gives us old folks yelling at a cloud something to love, while letting the newbies know what’s what.

It’s out now via Miami Nights 1984’s Bandcamp page (and eventually streaming services and in physical form).

Miami Nights 1984 Interview

Some words from mn84 for retro synthwave.

We present to you the interview of one of the most prominent figures in the Synthwave phenomenon, the enigmatic and mysterious ‘Miami Nights 1984.’ With just two albums and a handful of remixes to his name, this musician has transported us back to the 80s and swiftly become an icon in a short span of time. Alongside his friend ‘Lazerhawk,’ he established his own label, earning immense respect within the Retrowave community. In this interview, Michael, also known as ‘MN84,’ discusses the origins of his project name, his influences, the hit ‘Ocean Drive,’ the latest updates from ‘Rosso Corsa,’ his upcoming album, and much more. Enjoy reading, everyone!

Retro Synthwave: Hello MN84, could you present yourself to ‘Retro Synthwave’ followers?

Miami Nights 1984 : I’m Michael Glover from Victoria BC Canada, and I make 80’s inspired music under the names Miami Nights 1984, Actrazer and Stallions.

How come you chose ‘Miami Night 1984’ as project name? Miami Vice?

I started out as Act Raiser but ran into another producer under the same name, so I chose the longest worst name I could think of…  Yes it’s a tribute to the opening season of Miami Vice.

What musical training did you follow to become a Synthwave figure?

I had guitar lessons when I was younger but I’m mostly self taught on the keys.

Is there any precise reason to have chosen an 80’s sound?

I liked the 80s aesthetic.

What are your major influences when you compose?

I loved the emotion from John Hughes films and anything scored by Tangerine Dream.

In which conditions did you release your first album ‘Early Summer’ in 2010?

I was mostly inspired by the summer of that year, and going to the beach I guess.

« mostly inspired by the summer »

Your ‘Turbulence’ album shook the planet with tracks like ‘Ocean Drive’. Do you think you know why?

Ocean Drive was a special track for me, I had taken a break from music for a couple of years and wanted to come back with something to thank my fans with. It was really cool to see people receive it so well. Im guessing it hit the right emotional trigger for people.

Why did you chose to create your own label ‘ Rosso Corsa Records ’ with your friend Gareth aka Lazerhawk?

Well that’s easy… because he’s a synth god and a rad dude.

What’s your label’s latest release and what are the next ones?

Our latest release was “The Space Tapes” by Syntax. We have releases lined up from Vector Wolf, Betamaxx and Amazing Police.

You’re really talented for remixing other bands. How do you add your touch to their compositions?

I mostly strip everything away except for the vocals and make the track from scratch to give it my touch. I’m not doing any remixes at the moment to focus on my new album and side projects.

We’re desperately waiting for another album since 2012. Can you give us any spicy news?

I wanted to have it finished a long time ago, but I keep rewriting tracks and new ones… I really want this new album to be something special for the listener and to be different from the other two albums. It was way too hot in the studio to get any work done over the summer but I should hopefully have it ready after this winter haha.

« I really want this new album to be something special for the listener »

What do you think of the Synthwave genre phenomenon? Would you like to compose the soundtracks of retro events like ‘Stranger Things’ or ‘Kung Fury’?

I think it’s what the film industry has been waiting for. It’s essentially a genre based off of soundtracks so it makes sense. Yeah, it would be cool to score something like that for sure.

With which gear and softwares do you compose?

Right now Im all analogue except for Ableton. DMX, Linndrum, Drumtrax, 707, 505, Juno60, MN84 edition Kiwi106, Jx3p, Super Jupiter, tx81z, EMAX, Model D, Prophet6, Pro1, poly6, poly61m, DX7, AX80, OBXA, a few other synths and a ton of outboard gear.

Do you have any further projects aside MN84 and Synthwave music?

Yeah I’m always working on other projects… I have a chillwave/vaporwave project called Stallions, a 90s house project called Michell Gantier, a rap group called $nax and Im working on a trap project right now.
