🔥🔥 THIS WEEK ON SYNTHPOP SYMPHONY — EPISODE 353R1
DON’T SLEEP ON THIS ONE 🔥🔥
This episode is a full-spectrum synth experience — modern Italo, dark synth, massive remixes, and two no-joke throwback mixes that hit hard.
We kick things off with Grammy-winning Lady Gaga and “Abracadabra” (De Soffer Remix), euro-electro classics from Get Far, and brand-new synthpop from Alex Braun off his new LP Angel Machine, which has quickly become my favorite album of the week.
You’ll also hear Eloquent with a fantastic Blancmange cover you don’t want to miss, plus Peter Wilson, Project K, Magenta Soulstar, and more.
We also have a killer remake of Book of Love’s “Boy” by Catherine Moan — and very few artists ever dare to cover Book of Love, which makes this one something truly special.
Then we slide into the shadows with a dark synth set featuring a Gary Numan x Depeche Mode mashup, followed by Blaklight’s “Buried Alive” (Dancing Plague Remix) and My Manifesto — dark, heavy, and absolutely made for this show.
And that’s just the warm-up.
⚠ SINISTER EIGHTIES ⚠
New remixes of Talk Talk, Visage, Dead or Alive, New Order, and Erasure — reworked, modernized, and mixed for today’s dancefloor.
⚠ SINISTER NINETIES ⚠
Straight into peak Eurodance with Corona (Razormaid Remix), Culture Beat, La Bouche, Captain Hollywood Project, and a killer Razormaid cut from Voice of Buddha that takes things to another level.
This is the past, present, and future of synth-driven music, mixed the way it should be — with intention, energy, and love for the culture.

🎃 Synthpop Symphony 351 – The Halloween Show! 👻
It’s that time of year again… when the lights go low, the synths get dark, and the dancefloor turns haunted.
This week’s episode is filled with chilling remixes, cinematic soundscapes, and retro club anthems that blend classic 80s vibes with modern darkwave energy.
🕯 We open with a Halloween Mini-Mix featuring De Soffer’s haunting take on “Thriller, Rockwell’s cult favorite “Somebody’s Watching Me, and a deep remix of Dave Gahan & Soulsavers — the perfect eerie warm-up for a night of shadows and synths.
💀 The second Mini-Mix dives into full retro horror mode with extended club cuts from Oingo Boingo, Ramones, and A Flock of Seagulls — three icons resurrected for your dark October soundtrack.
🌑 The Dark Synth Set brings the pulse of today’s underground scene — with Blaklight, Church Fire, KMFDM, and Jay Wires delivering industrial rhythms, haunting vocals, and cinematic tension that will keep you moving through the midnight hour.
🌕 And we close the night with something special —
“Spooky Nights Like This” by DJ
Robert Anthony, an atmospheric Halloween finale that captures the spirit of the season and the sound of the after-hours dancefloor.

SYNTHPOP SYMPHONY 345 IS HERE!
This week we’re doing exactly what Synthpop Symphony was created to do — bringing the music we grew up with crashing into the sound of TODAY’S dance floor!
We kick things off IN THE MIX with a brand-new TSF remix of Depeche Mode’s “Leave in Silence,” followed by two huge 2026 mashups — Depeche Mode meets Pet Shop Boys and Den Harrow collides with Propaganda!
Then it’s BRAND-NEW SYNTHPOP from Tommy Countach, Australian newcomers Silky Roads, Future Analog, JLuis and OAG with “Forgotten Feelings” — my RECORD OF THE WEEK!
SCHOOL OF SYNTH takes us back to the early 2000s with LASGO! We revisit the classic “Something” before jumping forward 25 years for their new single “Rise.”
Then I’m back behind the decks mixing three DJ John VDW reworks of New Order’s “Blue Monday,” Sandra’s “In the Heat of the Night” and The Human League’s “Don’t You Want Me.”
AND THEN HOUR 2 GOES MASSIVE!

🎧 MATT WILLIAMS’ NOT SO NEW SYNTHPOP MIX
Not brand new… but definitely not old school.
The Not So New Synthpop Mix digs into some of my favorite synthpop, electropop and Italo tracks and remixes from the last several years — music that may have slipped off the “new release” radar but still sounds incredible today.
This mix brings together Sally Shapiro, Andy Bell & Shelter, Dubstar, Piston Damp, Color Theory, Italoconnection, Fred Ventura, Cold Connection, Tareq, Silverhook, Lucca Leeloo and more — plus a synth-driven reworking of Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance.”
Everything is locked together at 124 BPM for one continuous, beat-matched ride through modern synthpop.
Sometimes the best music isn’t the newest track in your inbox. It’s the one you forgot how much you loved.

” We’ll also be spinning an additional track from the Belvedere Kane album, giving listeners an even deeper look into this rediscovered synthpop gem. It’s a rare moment fans won’t want to miss it.
From there, the show moves into a dynamic mix blending new and classic sounds — including
t.A.T.u. ’s take on “How Soon Is Now?” and Modern English remixed by Nuovo Testamento, plus
new music from Morrissey, Kungs, and MIKA alongside favorites from Infernal, Real Life, and
Steps.
Hour two launches into Sinister Disco Hi-NRG 2026, a full-throttle, BPM-driven dance
experience featuring Ernest Kohl (JTV Remix), De Soffer, Babert, Lucca Leeloo (Italoconnection
Remix), Ken Laszlo, Sophie Ellis-Bextor (Claptone Remix), Ross Alexander (Matt Pop Club
