Show notes

Synthpop Symphony 324 is live — and this one is huge.

This week we’re celebrating a major moment in music — New Order being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame — with a full New Order megamix tribute featuring classics spanning their entire career.

We’re also bringing you the best of the past, present, and future of synth-driven music…

🔥 Brand new Madonna – “I Feel So Free” (from the upcoming Confessions 2)
🔥 Blaklight – “Cruel” (Rottersand Remix)
🔥 Propter Hoc – “In the Fisik Garden”
(if you’re a New Order fan, don’t miss this)
🔥 Brighter Than a Thousand Suns – “Linguicide” (pure 80s energy reborn)
🔥 John Summit – “Shades of Blue” (another artist crossing into synthpop in a big way)

Plus a Hi-NRG mini mix featuring Linda Jo Rizzo, Italoconnection, and Dead or Alive, and a closing set packed with classic new wave remixes from Freemasons & Sophie Ellis-Bextor, The Cure, Bananarama, New Order, and more.

Different countries. Different time zones. One sound.
