"I built this app so that anyone can learn Synthwave production, no matter your skill level"

Rogue VHS

Rogue VHS

Synthwave producer and educator with over 100M combined streams, sharing 15 years of retro electronic music expertise worldwide.

My journey into synthwave began over a decade ago, when I first stumbled upon the artists like The Midnight, Carpenter Brut, and Timecop1983. I was instantly hooked, but quickly realised that finding reliable, in-depth resources for learning this genre was a real challenge. Most tutorials were scattered, outdated, or simply lacking in quality.

Determined to master the craft, I spent years experimenting with analog synths, digital workstations, and modern production techniques. I dove deep into sound design, arrangement, and mixing—always chasing that perfect blend of retro vibes and contemporary polish. Along the way, I released my own tracks as Rogue VHS, collaborated with other artists, and built a following of synthwave enthusiasts who shared my passion.

But I never forgot how overwhelming it felt to start from scratch. That's why I created this app: to be the all-in-one resource I wish I'd had when I began. Whether you're just discovering synthwave or looking to sharpen your skills, this app is designed to guide you every step of the way, with clear lessons, hands-on projects, and insider tips from my own experience.

My hope is that this app empowers you to create music that captures the spirit of the 80s while pushing the boundaries of what's possible today. Let's make some unforgettable Synthwave.
