I found this man while browsing around the iTunes store, most notably in the retro-80's section.
His name is Johan Bengtsson and he's from Stockholm, Sweden.

I listened to a few previews of his music on iTunes and was immediately taken back to my formative years say, 1984-1988 when the style of music Mitch Murder makes seemed to be all the music there was to hear for me - and I loved it.

I still do.

Mitch Murder is not retro-80's.
He's a musician making great music in the 80's genre of music.
His upbeat tunes ring of John Hughes movies, scenes from Miami Vice, 80's high school dances and seem to usher in the great pop songs and pop music of that era.
His slowdown tunes also carry the 80's genre feel, but border and move into jazz and R&B.

Whatever type of track Mitch Murder is playing, the music that plays out of the speakers as the end result is quite remarkable and distinctive.

Enjoy.
