The glossiest, retro-mall music maker. More 80s than the 80s. Curator of Future Synthwave. Lyst grew up on Saturday morning MTV and Depeche Mode and was fascinated by the arpeggio on his grandfather's Yamaha electric organ. As a teenager he saved all his money for a synthesizer and painstakingly made renditions of favorite songs with it. He quickly got hooked on song making, producing beat-heavy downtempo, jazzy triphop and house music in the early 2000s. Discovering synthwave around 2015 it just clicked. It felt like a genre made for him: synths, arpeggios, retro sounds and strong melodies. In 2022, after a long break from making music he was stoked to start again and produced his first track as Lyst. Lyst's influences are many: Phil Collins' catchy hooks and incredible drum design, Tears for Fears' effortless vibe, Depeche Mode's melody-driven synthscapes, and the glittery harmonies of Boy Meets Girl. Lyst is from Uppsala, Sweden. All links: http://linktr.ee/lystmusic
