What's In Our Inbox? #49 featuring Inertia, Kiberspassk, and more!

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: 'Spring of '86' by Robert Corbett. 
I've been doing this What's In Our Inbox? series for a couple of months now, and on each release I always feel as if there's one artist that outdoes the rest. So, from now on I will be reserving the top spot for the musician I think stood out from the rest. This time I have to give accolades to Robert Corbett, a producer who I just discovered the other day when I received an e-mail. While synthpop is a genre that strives to be either influenced by or to emulate the eighties sound, a lot of projects fall just a bit short from the greats. Corbett's single 'Spring of '86' is absolutely brilliant; it sounds like it should have been released in the eighties during the glory days of synthpop music. It's an absolute banger that doesn't outstay it's welcome and I've had it on repeat since I've first listened to it. Check it out:
