MIND THE KNIFE🔪
Heavy darksynth from the UK, inspired by 80s horror, action films, arcade games, and retro electronic music.


THE PROJECT
Born From Static Built For Chaos
TRYING NOT TO LET GO🎈
VHS PANTY RIOT makes 80s horror soundtrack music with a modern metal edge. Underneath it, there is a weird little world for anyone trying to keep hold of something good. That is why the red balloon keeps showing up. The balloon is hope, humour, memory, sanity, whatever you are trying not to lose.
The knife is everything circling it.
VHS PANTY RIOT lives between the two: heavy, stupid, emotional, dangerous, and still somehow holding on.
THE TAPES
Music From THE WRONG ROOM
Every VHS PANTY RIOT release is a scene from the same damaged tape: the chase, the panic, the moment the joke stops being funny, the red balloon still floating when it probably shouldn’t.
Start with KISS KISS CUT CUT, then follow the earlier signals.
SINGLE • 2026
YOU’RE PRETTY WHEN YOU PANIC
The first proper KISS KISS CUT CUT transmission. Horror synth, heavy drums, filthy bass, and the sound of someone making a terrible decision at speed.
SINGLE • 2026
peel the sun
Early VHS PANTY RIOT, rougher round the edges and weird in the right places. Dark synths, damaged atmosphere, and a title that probably needs checking on.
SINGLE • 2026
EMBRACE LOSS
A darker early transmission. Less polish, more mood. Synth damage, tension, and the sound of something unpleasant being accepted far too calmly.
Store
