Synth Single Review: “Megawave” by LukHash

by Karl Magi

LukHash’s “Megawave” celebrates child-like energy and classic console sounds. The track begins as a funky 8-bit groove shimmies through the music. The low end has Sega Genesis grittiness while the synth skips past with jazzy, playful energy that radiates throughout the track. The drums bounce and bop with joyful insouciance while the groove locks in with the percussion, wriggling with a hip-shaking funk.

The main melody is full of childlike wonder and celebratory energy while the sharp edges beneath add propulsion. Hollow tones are joined by gruff notes before a synth jumps through the music with a pure sense of earnest enjoyment, taking hold of me.

8-bit notes shine and the main melody flickers through the music with a sense of irrepressible happiness. The low end dances with easygoing relaxation while the higher synth gains power before wobbling into quiet. The melodic lick fades away, and the track ends.
