[h2]SYNTH RIDERS - CURRENT WAVES SET LIST
[/h2]

[h3]⏱️ David Guetta & OneRepublic - I Don't Wanna Wait[/h3]
You know what? We don’t wanna wait for the weekend, either. That’s why we’re dropping this pack on a Thursday!


[h3]💌 Sia - Gimme Love[/h3]
Sia’s signature voice lifts you up. Like, way up. How does it feel soaring through this dance hall banger while riding the rails?


[h3]💋 artemas - i like the way you kiss me
[/h3]When this song hits the chorus, you can’t help yourself but bounce to the beat, beat, beat, beat.


[h3]👀 Jack Harlow - Lovin On Me
[/h3]There’s no tying you – or this hip-hop track – down once Harlow gets into his groove.


[h3]🍎 Charli xcx - Apple
[/h3]We love everything Charli xcx does and this song refuses to let you sit down. (Or…go….to the airport?)



Actually, speaking of Apple, you know what else doesn’t fall far from the tree? A great deal on Synth Riders! If you pick up the music pack at $7.99, you’re getting 20% off the price of buying the songs individually…ok, ok. Horrible segue, we know. We just love this pack and think it’s a good deal.

More important than simply being a set of tracks, though, Current Waves continues a promise. We’re always looking for the music our fans want to play. It’s a promise to find the best way for players to feel the flow on every song.

We truly do see Synth Riders as a music discovery platform. It’s a great place to hear new tracks, hang out with your friends and, of course, play. We see the potential here as more than just a game–it’s someplace to take the music you love, even further.

It’s only the beginning of March and we’ve already started dropping a couple great music packs (you DID check out 80s Mixtape - Side B, right?) and we’ve got a lot more coming your way for 2025!

So keep your eyes on our dev blog, Discord and our social channels for the latest news.

[h3]New FREE Song and Try-Before-You-Buy Experience™[/h3]

Why is it that people and brands (AHEM) wait until Valentine’s Day to officially share the love? 

This year at Synth Riders we’re delivering a new, free track that players voted on (‘Got You’ by Sunset Neon. It’s sick. You’ll love it.). We are also rotating in a new Synth Riders Experience that you can try once before you buy: Lindsey Stirling’s ‘Underground.’ Really, though, this is just the start of what we’re doing here, all year round. Why?

Because…
"Hey Riders, Falcon here from Kluge - one of my favorite things about working on Synth Riders is bringing new experiences to our players. Whether it’s a new addition to their library or creating opportunities for players to have a sneak peek into paid content, it’s always exciting to give our community more ways to connect with the music. I can’t wait for everyone to jump in and enjoy what we’ve put together!"

NEW Free Song: ‘Got You’ By Sunset Neon

We recently asked all you Riders out there which song YOU would like added to the game this February. The winner: Sunset Neon. (It was close, though! Prizm and Swingrowers also have songs that slap!)

This track, in particular, marries pop vocals and melodies with a synthy vibe and totally awesome bassline. It’ll for sure get you moving on the floor. As a thanks to all of you, it’s also now a permanent track added into the collection (It’s listed under the “Specials” music pack). Play it now and let us know how much you love it!

To celebrate our newest free song in Synth Riders we're also throwing down the "Got You Dizzy" Challenge in-game. Do you like Spirals? We'll see how you feel after this one. (and don’t forget to look for more heart-racing, love-themed challenges this month.)


NEW – Try Lindsey Stirling’s Synth Riders Experience™ for FREE!

When Lindsey Stirling’s ‘Underground’ dropped as a Synth Riders Experience, people went bonkers! It captured the frantic energy that Lindsey brings to her performances and transported you to the cyber-violin dimension. (If that’s not a thing, we’re making that official, here.) Last year we let players try it for free. Starting now, we’ve rotated in ‘Underground,’ as the new Experience track you can try before you buy!

While you can see a bit of what it’s like on a flat screen here, you really need the firsthand feel to truly appreciate what an Experience is all about. 

Starting with the latest update, all players on Meta Quest 2/3 , PSVR2, and Steam get to play the ‘Underground’ once. In fact, it’s unlocked right now, so fire it up!

Showing Our ❤️ to the Community, Year-Round

We aren’t stopping there. We’re looking to have more giveaways, freebies, deals, and feature updates that we think you’re going to love all year long.

Can’t say more about it right now, but keep an eye on our social channels and our Discord where we are ALWAYS dropping hints and hooking you up with a fun time. Let’s just put it this way: We have big things planned for Synth Riders and we are incredibly excited for what’s coming as we get deeper into 2025 and beyond! 

Most important, though, we need to say how much we appreciate all of you. Since we officially launched Synth Riders in 2018, we’ve created a game and a community that we’re incredibly proud of here. None of this would be possible without YOU, the person reading this post. That’s why we’re still here, that’s why we’re doing this in the first place. 

Thank you – and thanks for riding the rails with us.
