Royalty Free 80s Music: Authentic Retro Synth Tracks

I love the 80s sound! My focus is on delivering the authentic warmth of analogue synthesis, the satisfying punch of vintage drum machines, and those deliciously gated reverbs that made the 80s sound like nothing else before or since. It’s just so warm and gooey and just totally delightful (no wonder this is the longest collection).

Whether you’re crafting content that demands period accuracy or simply seeking that perfect retro sparkle, I’ve curated these tracks to hit that sweet spot between nostalgia and modern production clarity.

Perfect for creators working on:

• Period-specific film and documentary projects where authenticity matters
• Retro gaming content that demands that synthwave swagger
• Fashion and lifestyle videos yearning for genuine 80s atmosphere
• Corporate presentations seeking a dash of nostalgia with modern polish
• YouTube content where the vibe needs to be absolutely spot-on

A Bit About the Sound: I’ve been rather particular about the sonic authenticity here. You’ll find all the hallmarks that made 80s production so special – from those crystalline DX7 bells to the warm embrace of Jupiter-8 pads. Each track delivers modern production standards while remaining utterly faithful to the period’s distinctive character. Think of it as having all the charm of the 80s without the tape hiss and technical limitations that kept producers awake at night back then – well, maybe a bit of tape hiss…
