Music / NewsListen to a two-hour tribute to the music of Stranger ThingsElectronic producers including FaltyDL and Mumdance contribute to a mix of tracks inspired by the sci-fi show’s distinctive scoreShareLink copied ✔️August 5, 2016MusicNewsTextSelim Bulut By now you’ll have heard the fuss about Stranger Things: the Netflix series has captured hearts with its supernatural story of a missing child in small town USA, magnetic cast of teenagers and adults, and a 1980s setting that errs just on the right side of nostalgia. One other reason for the show’s instant success is its top-notch soundtrack. Created by Austin duo Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein (who also form the band S U R V I V E), it’s a brooding, synth-heavy score that hits all the cues of its spiritual forebears (John Carpenter, Tangerine Dream, etc.) while mainting a hint of contemporary production. It’s maybe no surprise that other musicians have been paying attention. For their latest show on Radar Radio, London-based record label Local Action invited a bunch of electronic musicians to contribute their own original tracks inspired by the music of Stranger Things. The two-hour mix features original music from the likes FaltyDL, Mumdance, Murlo, E.M.M.A., and Yamaneko, each adding personal flourishes to the atmospheric sounds.
