Episode 269 of Synthpop Symphony is here—and this one’s extra special. I’ve been under the weather and losing my voice this week… which means less talk and way more music! We’re diving into extended, 100% fresh new mixes featuring brand-new tracks from Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Mind Enterprises & The Magician, Core in Motion, Hyperfield’s stunning rework of Frankie Goes To Hollywood’s classic The Power of Love, and a massive remake of the 2000’s rave and club hit Toca’s Miracle from Chris Burke, Daniel Merano & Dino Mileta. You’ll also hear not-so-classic synthpop from Beborn Beton and Die Sexual, mixed in with the dreamy new vibes of Platronic. Plus, debut appearances from Mayah Camara, Druzy & Odysette, and Tally Koren!—and Thomas Anders of Modern Talking returns with Cheri Cheri Lady 2025.

Then it’s time to turn back the clock with one of my best Decades Mixes of the year—featuring 80s-inspired remixes from Paolo Monti and DJ Paul Harwood. Expect explosive reworks of Depeche Mode, OMD, Erasure, Yazoo, Modern Talking, Phil Collins, INXS, Chaka Khan, Eurythmics, and more—plus a killer Dead or Alive x Dua Lipa mashup you didn’t know you needed. Nearly three-quarters of this episode is in the mix—tuned up and ready to move you.

But first, we're gonna kick off the show with 20 minutes of brand new music from Sophie Alex Baxter, Mind Enterprises and the Magician, Hyperfield with a brilliant rework of Frankie Goes to Hollywood, New Corn Motion, and Chris Burke.
