Synthpop Symphony 316!

This week I’m bringing you a true symphony of synth — from brand-new music to Hi-NRG remixes and a deep dive into modern independent artists keeping the scene alive. We’ve got fresh tracks from Kon Kan with My Mediation, Kebu & Johan Becker with Everyone’s a Story, Melllo’s A Sign, Massive Ego & Boy George with Broken Tomorrow, and Andermay turning up the drama with I’d Like to See the World Burn.

In School of Synth, I sit down with Michael MacDonald from Positronic for an exclusive conversation and first listen to his new LP Interstellar with 3 exclusive tracks Rise, Glow, and Never Ending Story!

Then we crank up the energy with a high-powered mini mix featuring Depeche Mode, Bronski Beat, and Duran Duran before diving into Retro Remixes from Red Flag, Frida, Depeche Mode, Tears for Fears, Information Society, and A Flock of Seagulls.

Turn it up. Share it. And keep connecting the world through music. 🎹🔥

🎧 SYNTHPOP SYMPHONY – EPISODE 315!

This week on Synthpop Symphony, Matt Williams delivers one of the biggest and most exclusive episodes of the year.

For the first time ever, hear music from the long-lost 1996 Belvedere Kane album Such Trying Times, originally shelved and unheard for nearly 30 years. The spotlight includes a brand-new Dead or Alive track featuring Pete Burns, along with a powerful Parralox remix of “Sex Drive.” 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.

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 Remix), and more — blending modern Italo, classic Hi-NRG, and peak-hour club energy.

New music. Rare releases. Exclusive mixes.

The past, present, and future of synth-driven music.

🔥🔥 THIS WEEK ON SYNTHPOP SYMPHONY — ALL-NEW EPISODE 313

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.

This week on Synthpop Symphony, we celebrate the past, present, and future of synthpop with a packed show full of exclusive mixes, new releases, classic moments, and a featured artist interview.

We kicked things off with a custom Depeche Mode mini-mix, featuring The Sun and the Rainfall, Boys Say Go, and I Told You So, all expertly reworked by PE3VAX — a high-energy way to launch the night.

From there, we moved into brand-new synthpop, spotlighting Birds Away from Darwin McD and No Time (Inevitable Mix) from Lifelong Corporation, followed by a special 40th Anniversary mix of Pet Shop Boys’ “West End Girls.”

The show then dips into remix territory with Ultravox’s “Love’s Great Adventure” (Blank & Jones Remix), Carrellee’s “Captain the Straight Razor remix,” and the iconic Mike Mareen Powerplay Megamix, blending Love Spy, Agent of Liberty, and Dancing in the Dark — a classic that still sparks debate and still moves the floor.

We also featured two standout tracks from Color Theory, including The Last Time (Matt Mancid Remix) and Punching Shadows, before sitting down for

THEN It’s an exclusive interview with James Knights of KNIGHT$ and the legendary Boytronic.

That interview flows directly into a KNIGHT$ Megamix with James Favorites, featuring tracks from the new Supernatural Lover EP — including Supernatural Lover, Goodbye 70’s, Boom Bang Boom, and Gelato — mixed alongside James’s personal picks, including Die on the Dancefloor by Tyson, and closing strong with the AP Mono 40th Anniversary remix of Mike Mareen’s “Dancing in the Dark.”

From there, we circled back to pure ’80s with New Order, Stevie Knicks and Cetu Javu.

To close out the night, we let a stunning modern disco remix of Donna Summer’s “I Feel Love” breathe on its own, followed by Peter Wilson’s “Unbreakable,” and finally wrapped the show with The Human League’s “Love Action” (Dominatrix Remix).
