You're listening to DDJ Matt Williams, Los Angeles, San Francisco. Welcome to Synth Pop Symphony. Playing the first new wave electric, synth wave, Italian disco, and high-energy electronic dance music from the 80s to today. With your host, DJ Matt Williams. New Dance Music Odyssey starts now.
SPEAKER_01Welcome to Synth Pop Symphony, your premiere destination for the finest synthpop dance tracks from the 80s classics to the freshest synthpop masterpieces of today. On tonight's show, I have the return of one of my favorite DJs and a famous one at that. Tonight, TSF joins us to spend his newest game for creations, including new remixes of anything and modern talking. Also, I'm going to be spending a mini mix tonight of Peter Wilson's new track. I've got some new tunes from Rob Rowan Facts. Alright, let's get this already started tonight. First track is a well-known classic originally performed by the Patriot Boys on their 1988 album Introspective. However, many may not realize that it was first released in pre-1988 by Eighth Wonder. Until now, only two versions have existed independently, but that changes tonight. I present to you a special du-ed version of I'm Not Scared featuring Patsy Kinsett of Eighth Wonder and Neil Tennett of Pat Shop Boys and the Lord.
SPEAKER_24If I could read your mind, I could take a home.
SPEAKER_17You're always telling why, but the only truth. I thought we came, you give the last.
SPEAKER_16I thought that if we pay it, we give them up our best.
SPEAKER_08Why do we have to be so I can love them before? I go anywhere, baby.
SPEAKER_12I don't care, I'm not scared, I don't care, baby, I'm not scared, I don't care, baby, I'm not scared to make the streets of us.
SPEAKER_15I don't know why I'll take these times always from me.
SPEAKER_12Before they find to fight at all and make my mother. I know the twice.
SPEAKER_17I know these dogs just no more. But I can, I can fight.
unknownIf I want you, I wouldn't treat me the way you do you.
SPEAKER_17If I want you, if I want you, I wouldn't treat me the way you do. If I want you, if I want you, I wouldn't treat me the way you do you. I'm not scared, baby. I don't care. I've got anywhere, baby.
SPEAKER_12I'm not scared, I'm not scared I'm not scared.
SPEAKER_05The best new electronic dance music only on Synth Pop Symphony.
SPEAKER_28Climbing my own mountain, we feels strange attraction.
SPEAKER_15Never thought that I would reach there slipping through my fingers like a thousand winters, fills my soul with haters.
SPEAKER_28Don't you know?
SPEAKER_15I give you my heart to know you, where my mind is dreaming of conscious love towards you.
SPEAKER_28It doesn't belong to me.
SPEAKER_15Will you catch me when I'm falling? Cause I'm messing up down here.
SPEAKER_28And it's so ordinary. Don't you know?
unknownDon't you know?
SPEAKER_15It's so very hard to say hello. When your whole world comes crashing down, it's so very hard to say hello. When your whole world comes crashing down, destination callin', will you catch me when I'm falling? Cause I'm messing up down here Now I'm a hopeless dreamer, lazy good for nice and schemer, and it's so ordinary.
SPEAKER_28Don't you know? Don't you know?
SPEAKER_02Don't you know? A symphony of sin. Let the music move you on Synth Pop Symphony.
SPEAKER_15What's happening? It's a dream come true. I am the king, and we are the prince. You someone to love us and making sense. That's why I'm in to have this so that's where you should be. Don't find the free. I know you too well. I treat you like a food, just turn around, take a look at the tone.
unknownI know you too well.
SPEAKER_22I just went, yeah.
SPEAKER_01From the album of Portrait, the music of Shay Green, Rob Rowe from Cause and Effect has a brand new track with Shenandoah, which is from that compilation album, will be available featuring the music of Resolution, whose lead singer Shay Green, unfortunately, passed away in February 2024. These are unreleased tracks from that group, and they're remixed by Vic20, and we have more tracks from this compilation and more information coming up soon. Also, a brand new Andy Veil of Erasure with Don't You Know that is the second single from Handy Crown which will be coming out May 2nd. The video was directed by Stephano Barbaret of Reading of High League. He also directed Time Heartful of Love of Erasure's album for you guys that don't know Time Hearts of Love was also remixed by TSF, and he's gonna be giving us a one-hour set in the second hour. And we started the show with a fabulous new remix from TV Music of the Boys and 800 I'm not scared from 1988. Let's get into the mix with three amazing tracks. First of all, we've got Christopher Anton with a cover of Red Flag's Russian radio, mixed into Vision with Lucifer's friend, the Vic 20 remix. We just had Vic 20 remix the track for cause and effect, which is absolutely amazing. And then we're gonna end the set with the awesome fresh new Peter Wilson single called When I Turn on the Radio. Let's get into some high energy right now for the next 20 minutes with Senpop Symphony.
SPEAKER_19I have no choice, all I've was meant to stay, with or without. It's easy for me, without a doubt. As I spend my days searching for ways, others on the go. So it's radio, rushing radio. How will we ever believe you? Now that we've learned to deceive you, I hear a voice from 100 miles away, getting so much closer every day, with or without It's easy for me without a doubt, as I spend my days searching for ways, brothers on the go. So is Radio Russian Radio How will we ever believe you, Radio? Now that we've learned to deceive you. With or without, it's easy for us without a doubt. As we spend our days searching our ways, love is on the go. So is radio rush and radio How will we ever believe you? Radio Now that we've learned to deceive you.
SPEAKER_14Never seeing the sun, draining the blood from my victims, to give me the strength to go on Panishing just as the dog drums.
SPEAKER_15And vaults below the ground, taking light from the humans, a circle that goes round and round. I never strike when expected. I'm just a shadow at night. My victim's eyes float all up as they feel the terror and flaw.
SPEAKER_19A life that's truly immortal.
SPEAKER_15A Lord of the Unknown. I only go out in the evening, never seeing the sun, draining the blood from my victims. You give me the strength to go on.
SPEAKER_09Emotions never show. I keep my cards close to my chest. I'm hard to get to know I'm not hard to sentimental. I hide my heart so well. But there's one weakness, yes, it's true, and I will never tell When I turn on the radio. When I turn on the radio I always give things to myself, my voice is never heard. I blissful life of solitude. I speak unspoken words. People tell me they're frustrated, but I don't really care. Because my weakness gives me life and I will never share.
unknownWhen I turn on the lady, I never miss that becoming.
SPEAKER_22What does it mean to be human?
SPEAKER_15To feel the pain of the world inside.
SPEAKER_01Anywhere you purchase your music. Then I took you into the mix with Peter Wilson's new single, When I Turn on the Radio, and I mixed the dub edit and the radio mix together in a longer mix, plus Vision with Lucifer's friend, the Vic 20 remix. And I have to say, the Vic 20 mix is absolutely fantastic, just like Christopher Anton's version of Russian Radio by Red Flag, which is available now on the compilation called Numbers Nightclub 2. Next up is a new artist to Synth Pop Symphony whose song influences are dead or alive amongst other bands. His name is Nicholas Rixen, and you'll be hearing more of him, especially after you hear this latest single, Belladonna. Let's get into a right now on Synth Pop Symphony.
SPEAKER_05The very best in high-enter dance music only on Synth Pop Symphony You're welcome to the room, but an honor on your mind You're crying and fond of this thing is out of mind And I feel it too Look up into my face for Junior Don't worry where you go You'll set back Tempo, tempo, tempo I feel you burning me Whatever you say, whatever you do, I'll be more than me, you are the first came to your boat and to around my mind I feel like running down my throat, I feel my night Whatever you say, whatever you do all eyes, you're in the same I always like can never never go I always like it, can't dump and make it burn the shooting balls but the shooting balls I always like, can't hold everyone, I always like that, make it burn the shooting balls, but the shooting bones whatever you say, whatever you do, I want to be eyes, you can whatever you say, whatever you do, you want to come back to the same new music first on synth pop symphony from the sea.
SPEAKER_14No harm should be done to the one I loving you makes it worth pushing through, even though I'm sad and scared. Pushing through, even though I'm sad and scared.
SPEAKER_20Pushing through, even though I'm sad and scared.
SPEAKER_14Darkness comes for me tonight. No harm should be done.
SPEAKER_20Loving you makes it worth pushing free. And scared.
SPEAKER_01That was new music from Vintage Voltage. Their new album just dropped this week. It's actually an EP and it's called Into the Void, and that was the title track. Also, Nicholas Rixson, brand new to Finactivity with his interline track. I'm gonna bring you some more rare 80s and 90s crack in the last couple of weeks. And we did 80s and green, and we did all the three. And then we can crack hearing you in the record label. Don't you know? I know their Holocaust here with their most famous single. But don't you know has a special place in my collection as I own all three singles, and I just love the backing vocals of the scents and the radio playability of this song as a single. It just really speaks to me. So here you have it, don't you know, by Ho Hokum from 1986.
SPEAKER_24Well, everything's fine so far.
SPEAKER_05Playing the best electrode pop, synth pub, and the best remixes only on synthbop symphony.
SPEAKER_01You're just about ten minutes away from TSF brand new in the mix for one hour. This is brand new music from Sono with 1984.
SPEAKER_11When you could have been a gem, what did you read in those messages? Flooding your ends. You made your point in a simulation, spreading alternative facts. You needed something for your stimulation. Hoping somebody will react. Who cares about what you said yesterday? Sound and wrong to the right. What made you think you had the formula? Where did you lose your way? Was there nobody that confronted you? From up, hey, it's getting stronger. Hey, it's yet stay.
SPEAKER_26I said everything I think about you. A good time to have a bad time to share how much I loved you, and how much I cared. So many nights, nights that I cried.
unknownShine the back tears that I tried.
SPEAKER_15But when I go sad, when I do feel, I do love my fortress, my portrait, I think, I just fit I've just touched, I must face so much. If you don't think of incredible synth pop from Eric C.
SPEAKER_01Powell and Andrea Powell. This is the second single tonight from the resolution compilation featuring remixes from Vic 20. You just heard my portrait. Also from Hamburg, Germany, that was the synthpop masterpiece from Sono called 1984 off their new album called Lost Lovers Motel that was released February 14th. And a fun fact is that these guys ran a recording studio and recorded and mixed music for Madonna, Brittany Spears, and Kelly Clarkson. So if you think our music industries aren't connected, think again. And then we started the set with a very rare track from the band Ho Hokum off of Harry Newman's record labeled Newman. Don't you know? We've got just five minutes until the highly anticipated return of TS in the next video.
SPEAKER_18I've had a little bit too much. All of the people start to rush, start to rug, How is it twist the dance? Can't I drink a mess? With all my cheese, I love my phone, bone up. I love this record baby, but I can't think straight anymore. What's the name of the love? Can't remember, but it's alright. I'm alright, the family's gonna be okay. Wish I could shut my Playboy mouth. Inside out, control your poison babe, fold in the phones and say And where I'll get an hour some night. Can't remember, but it's alright. Just say 'em, it's gonna be okay. Just gotta do them, just say I'm saying that.
SPEAKER_08Oh no, just be just got it won't do just this, just be just all this holy, this, this beautiful, just dance got me okay.
SPEAKER_21Use your muscles, love it up, work with our soul. Don't know that the cleanest nice outfit in your pool.
SPEAKER_08Just pick it too, just stand, just pay him, just piss in the veteran. Just piss on me, okay.
SPEAKER_01That was actually fantastic. That is Just Dance to New Order by Lady Gaga and New Order. That was Temptation and Just Dance mixed together in a cool little mashup. Speaking of mashups and remixes, it doesn't get much better than TSF. I met Julian about three years ago when he remixed Hearts Full of Love, Time, and Secrets for Mute, and then I reached out to him and we've been friends ever since, and he sent us a bunch of great remixes to the show, and tonight is a huge one for you folks. I've got Wolf Shime, Melotron, Covenant, Depeche Mode, Modern Talking, Anything Box, Prophets on TV, Erasure, Propaganda, Vinny Banasse, Ania featuring Iverson, Cause and Effect, D Vision, Plastic Man, and The Overlord. The only song that's not mixed by TSF in this thing is the Dave Odd version of Cause and Effect, the Annea feature Iverson, and the Vinny Banassi. Otherwise, it's all TSF in the mix. It's exclusive here to Synth Pop Symphony. Let's get into it right now.
SPEAKER_04The very best in the mix, only on Synth Pop Symphony.
