THE ENIGMATIC ARTIST BEHIND THE MEGA DRIVE PROJECT HAS ESTABLISHED HIMSELF AS ONE OF THE MOST VISIONARY CREATORS IN SYNTHWAVE, AND EARLY RELEASES LIKE VHS, HARDWIRED, AND 198XAD REPRESENT ESSENTIAL PILLARS OF THE DARKSYNTH AND CYBERPUNK SYNTHWAVE OUTGROWTHS OF THE MAIN GENRE. SINCE HIS FIRST RELEASES IN 2012, MEGA DRIVE HAS GAINED A DIEHARD FOLLOWING AND HIS ALBUMS HAVE BECOME SOME OF THE MOST WELL-KNOWN AND WELL-RESPECTED RECORDINGS IN THE ENTIRE RETRO SYNTH WORLD.
