THE SOUNDTRACK OF NOSTALGIA

New Arcades are a London-based electronic duo crafting cinematic soundscapes where retro nostalgia collides with modern synth-driven intensity. Comprising Dean Canty and Adam Sullivan, the pair channel the spirit of the '80s into a bold, future-facing vision—blending shimmering synths, emotive melodies, and pulse-pounding rhythms into a sound that feels both familiar and fresh.

​

Their debut album Returning Home made a powerful impact in the Synthwave scene, praised for its dreamy textures and emotional depth. Follow-up releases In The Deepest of Dreams (2021) and Leave Something Behind (2023) saw the duo expand their sonic range, showcasing a growing maturity and an increasingly adventurous approach to songwriting and production.

​

Live, New Arcades are known for immersive performances—atmospheric lighting and cutting-edge visuals combine with their signature sound to create a captivating, transportive experience.

In 2023, they contributed the theme song to RoboDoc: The Creation of RoboCop, a high-profile documentary tribute to the iconic sci-fi film. The collaboration highlighted their knack for capturing cinematic energy and cultural resonance with their music.

​

Now, as they gear up to release their fourth album in July 2025, New Arcades are entering a darker, more experimental era. This new chapter dives deeper into textured electronic landscapes, pushing beyond their neon-lit roots and into uncharted sonic territory.
