Show notes

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!

PARRALOX MEGAMIX 2021

Seven tracks featuring remixes from Pete Hammond, Eric Kupper, 7th Heaven, Purechild + Stereolove and Italoconnection — including “Sharper Than a Knife,” “Wildlife,” “Eye in the Sky” and “Change of Heart.”

And Barcelona’s DJ CIANNY P closes out the show with EDM MIX #42 — 30 minutes of nonstop, modern synth-driven dance music featuring ARTBAT, 7 Skies, Tiësto, Korolova, Anyma, Gryffin, BUNT. and more!
