Where does he find the music?!?

I love the 80's music he finds for his films, both Bronson & Drive had that awesome sound. He picked some tunes from Glass Candy for the movie "Bronson" and for "Drive" he found music from Kavinsky & Lovefoxx, Desire, College ft Electric Youth & The Chromatics. All fkin awesome.

Can anyone recommend me any more music like this?

Thanks

If you go on to last.fm and type in one of those artists in their 'similar artists search', it will produce a list of artists that have a similar sound to the one you originally typed in. Worth a try I suppose.

You should check out this track called AUrora by Fred Falke. It's super warm and has that new-old sound. Really nice.

Wow that is really nice, I think we may have a similar music taste. I'm addicted to an Italo-disco track called 'Take a Chance' by Mr. Flagio atm, plus all of Kavinsky's EPs, and Röyksopp and Daft Punk. I'll have to check out your song recommendations for the OP.

Just for a giggle, you need to go listen to Party's Over Los Angeles by Vitalic.

Reminded me of my teenage years back in the 80's partying all over L.A. to Italo Disco! In other words, this movie was a 'time-warp' for me.

He didn't pick the music for Drive, the 80's pop music theme of it was his idea, but he didn't find the tracks for the film.
