The long time Brazilian DJ and producer Quizzik shows a new side of him through the moniker “Lost Tapes of 88”, a synthwave project which will debut via 6 Plusten Records on March 22nd with the single called ‘Testarossa’, an ode to 80s games like Accolade’s Test Drive, where the player blazes through arid landscapes, familiar scenarios to part of the artist’s childhood in Tucson, Arizona. To promote the single, Brazilian filmmaker and visual effects artist Rodrigo Senna was commissioned to create a 2 minute visual expression of those memories. The upcoming album will be released on April 5th.

Album Release
‘Lost Tapes of 88’ is a synthwave side-project of Quizzik, a long time Brazilian producer and DJ usually related to IDM and electro. This new moniker focuses on rewinding to his childhood memories in Arizona back in the 80s, recollecting TV shows, movies, cars, cartoons and games from that era, not only in a nostalgic way, but expanding that retrofuture feel through a contemporary perspective with a bit of a dystopian twist.

This self-titled 8-track album – which takes reference from Akira to Cold War espionage, from BMX rides in the woods to supercars ripping through roads in the desert, cyber security and a broken heart – will be released via 6 Plusten Records on April 5th. The single “Testarossa” will premiere on March 22nd with a mini video created by Brazilian filmmaker and visual effects artist Rodrigo Senna.
