Neon Cities is an electronic duo from Denver, Colorado, composed of Jason Roth and Chase Dobson. Having casually been collaborating on music for years, Jason and Chase decided to take the project more seriously, and in 2017 Neon Cities was born.
Utilizing both vintage and modern analog synths as well as updated digital tools, Neon Cities’ sound unapologetically pulls from the sound of their collective youths. Beginning as early as their memories of strip mall arcades, quarters, and bright flashing neon lights; Neon Cities draw from familiar conventions, but don’t rely solely on the past. Moods move from straight up dancefloor tracks to melodic and ambient driven work that could fit right into the credits rolling in a John Hughes film.
