FM-84 is the brainchild of Scottish musician and producer Col Bennett, a purveyor of the nostalgic soundscape that is synthwave or retrowave music. Based in San Francisco, Bennett launched the FM-84 project in 2015, channeling the essence of the 1980s into contemporary production. His work, characterized by lush, analog synth-driven melodies and emotionally resonant compositions, quickly resonated with fans of the genre, earning him a distinct place among retro-futuristic music enthusiasts.

FM-84's critically acclaimed debut album, "Atlas," released in 2016, served as a time capsule of 1980s dreamscapes, becoming a cornerstone of the synthwave scene. The album's tracks, like "Running In The Night" and "Neon Sunrise," have become anthems of the movement, celebrated for their polished hooks and evocative atmospheres. Following this, Col Bennett continued to expand the universe of FM-84 with b-sides and remixes, deepening the connection with an audience hungry for the escapism and warm analog tones his music so authentically delivers. Pieces like "Maverick" and "Los Angeles" not only extended the narrative set forth in "Atlas" but also showcased Bennett's growth and refinement as an artist within the genre.
