Aztec Records is a Record Label and creative hub from London, UK showcasing the best artists in Retrowave, Synthwave and Synthpop music.
These are genres that are heavily influenced by the nostalgic synth sounds of the 80s, but sometimes with a current sound added to the mix. The visuals and graphics often take that decade for inspiration, and transport you to one of the best decades in music history. It's an homage to our favourite 80's artists, but keeping the sound current and relevant.
We began our journey in 2010 and we quickly became a household name for some of the best Retrowave, Synthwave and Synthpop artists in the world. We discovered and launched the careers of world-class acts like NINA, LAU, Sunglasses Kid, The Lightning Kids, Kidburn, Space Tourist, Bunny X, Kidburn and Simon Gabriel to name just a few.
Come and discover some of the best artists out there, before anyone else. We upload new videos every week so subscribe and stay tuned!

KAVINSKY / 1975–2026
The father of synthwave has left us far too soon. The entire community is in shock at his early departure from this realm.
His sound and aesthetic shaped a generation and his influence will live forever.
May the endless grid and neon sun carry you home. 🖤

“Even If We Don’t Talk”, by @bunnyxband is out now. The final chapter before ‘Love on a High Floor’ 🏢
Wrapped in a driving synthwave beat, the song contrasts an upbeat pulse with lyrics about holding onto someone long after they've gone. Sometimes the saddest stories are the ones you can still dance to 💙
Stream “Even If We Don’t Talk” now!
