CRYSTAL are experts at their own brand of retro-futuristic synth. Discovered online by Gaspard Auge (JUSTICE) and Surkin, the world has steadily been taking note of the duo. Headed up by Ryota Miyake (aka flau roster artist Sparrows), the duo’s sound may have taken different trajectories, but their experimental, energetic new wave meets techno with added video game music continues to turn heads. With Sunao Maruyama alongside Miyake, CRYSTAL have collaborated with big names throughout their career. Their GET IT EP (2013) appeared on French label Sound Pellegrino, complete with a feature spot from label head Teki Latex. On their 2015 album Crystal Station 64 the duo collaborated with Ikonika, and in 2016 CRYSTAL even jammed with the Thundercat at RBMA Montreal. The duo (Ryota Miyake and Sunao Maruyama), seamlessly mix techno, video game music, new wave and electropop for their modern, eclectic take on vintage synth music.

CRYSTAL’s Reflection Overdrive is their second album in five years, arriving hot on the trail of 2020’s Ecco Funk EP. While the album is a sure showcase for the duo’s unique blend of ‘80s synth and video game soundscapes, Reflection Overdrive also marks a return to a bolder, more experimental side to CRYSTAL, making for an exciting, multi-faceted journey through time and space. The album featuring the guest like Matias Aguayo, and more.
