I guess Kavinsky was part of the closing ceremony this year. He's one of the founding pioneers of the genre I write music for/press vinyl for.
I wasn't that impressed with it, but his influence on the genre cannot be discounted.
In place of a video of the Olympic ceremony I'll add my favorite Kavinsky song. This was in the movie "Drive" which was released with a lot of influence by Ryan Gosling, who said I've been listening to this "Synthwave" music, and want it in the soundtrack.
Anyway, thanks Ryan.
