I've been trying my hand at producing some retrowave/darkwave stuff. Currently attempting to work up the nerve to perform them in public.
Great job.
I’m only giving some feedback because you said you’re trying your hand at it… I’d quantize the phased synth to the 1/8th note, so it lines up better. The high freq “chirp” sound is cool… but see if it sounds cool on other beats. On beat 4 may sound cool too! Just to take up some of the space and let the polysynth have some “me time” in the beginning of the bars. The bass-ish sound at 1:30 that keeps going for a while, it’s rubbing a little bit with the bass. I think you’ll like it better up the octave or maybe a less low frequency sound. The lower you get the further apart you want the notes in the chords to be.
Awesome stuff man.

Appreciate the feedback and encouragement. I haven't found too many people to provide feedback when it comes to synthwave music.
This is my biggest mental roadblock from progressing further right now. I've always played and recorded in live bands with real instruments. I made that song before I realized synthwave artists were all just beating out their music on a piano roll. It's just so hard for me to create that way instead of playing all the instruments live.
