Lakeshore Records is thrilled to announce our partnership with THE RISE OF THE SYNTHS. We will be releasing a special companion album in support of the film!

The Rise of the Synths is an awesome feature documentary directed by Iván Castell and produced by Javier Moreno with an amazing team from Spain. The film is the definitive documentary about synthwave and ’80s retro and electronic music.

The Stranger Things Soundtrack by Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein has become both a critical and cultural phenomena topping iTunes charts in its first day of release.

The electronic instrumental Synth-Score features not a single pop song to give the album a lift on the charts. When is the last time that happened?

Within its first day of release the album has hit the Top 10 on four of the leading charts in two countries! Congrats to Kyle, Michael, the entire Stranger Things team and everyone at Netflix!
