Synthpop Symphony 282 – Your Summer Soundtrack Starts Here!

This week, we’re turning up the volume on memories and melodies with a two-hour mix of synth-fueled anthems, deep cuts, and modern twists — perfect for warm nights, weekend drives, or just losing yourself in the music.

Hour 1 – Matt Williams in the Mix:

We kick things off with a high-energy blend of Wham!, Real Life, Sam Smith, Madonna, T.A.T.u., and more. Expect fresh takes and extended mixes from Matt Pop, The Blessed Madonna, and DMX, plus driving grooves from Rogue FX, Ross Alexander, The Frixion, and a killer flip of Another One Bites the Dust by Block & Crown.

Hour 2 – TSF Guest Mix (from Buenos Aires)

TSF delivers a hypnotic set filled with dark elegance and iconic synth. Remixed and reimagined: Japan, Gary Numan, Camouflage, The Smiths, OMD, Soft Cell, Front 242, Yazoo, Depeche Mode, New Order, and more.

Also featuring Superchumbo feat. Neil Tennant of Pet Shop Boys, Vince Clarke of Erasure, and Elke Kleijn.
