Lazerhawk is the synthwave project of American producer Garrett Hays, one of the defining names of the 2010s retrowave revival, when retro driving anthems like Running in the 90s also became meme staples. His neon-drenched electronic sound became a fixture of internet culture, soundtracking gaming videos, car edits and meme compilations across YouTube and TikTok. Because the tracks are instrumental and instantly atmospheric, short clips like this one are widely reused as background music, giving creators an easy way to add 80s-style energy to edits without licensing a mainstream song.
About this sound
A 20-second Lazerhawk synthwave clip with retro synths and driving beats. Creators use it as background music for gaming edits, montages and neon-themed memes.
This 20-second Lazerhawk clip is pure synthwave: thick analog-style synths, a driving bassline and punchy retro drums that build a fast, neon-soaked atmosphere. The track has that classic outrun energy, equal parts nostalgic and adrenaline-fuelled, with layered arpeggios racing over a steady four-on-the-floor pulse. It lands like the soundtrack to a night drive through a pixel city, instantly raising the intensity of whatever plays underneath it and giving edits a confident, cinematic swagger. The mix stays instrumental and propulsive throughout, so it energises a scene without competing with any voiceover laid on top.
