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_01

Welcome 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 rocked 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 Factory. Alright, let's get this party started. Tonight first track is a well-known classic originally performed by the Path Chowboy 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 do-et-version of I'm Not Scared featuring Patsy Kinsett of Eighth Wonder and Neil Tennett of Pat Shop Boys.

SPEAKER_19

If I could read your mind, I could take a home.

unknown

What do you need to do?

SPEAKER_16

SPEAKER_19

So I come out with you before. I go everywhere, baby.

SPEAKER_11

SPEAKER_24

I'm not scared, baby. I don't care, baby. I'm not as good, baby.

unknown

I don't care.

SPEAKER_24

What have you got to say? I shall have in the past.

SPEAKER_10

I thought that if we pay it, you give them up our past. Why do we have to be so I can love them before? I go anywhere, baby.

SPEAKER_24

I don't care.

SPEAKER_12

I'm not scared. I don't care. Maybe I'm not scared. I don't care. Baby, I'm not scared. To night the streets of us.

SPEAKER_11

I don't know why I'll take these dogs always want me.

SPEAKER_12

Before they find tonight, I thought and they might be.

SPEAKER_16

If I want you, I wouldn't treat me the way you do. If I want you, if I lost 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.

unknown

I'm not scared. I'm not scared.

SPEAKER_06

The best new electronic dance music only on Synth Pop Symphony.

SPEAKER_11

Climbing my own mountain, reveals strange attraction.

SPEAKER_14

Never thought that I would reach death slipping through my fingers like a thousand winters, fills my soul with haters.

SPEAKER_08

Don't you know?

SPEAKER_11

I give you my heart to know you, where my mind is dreaming of conscious love towards you. It doesn't belong to you. Cause I'm messing up down here.

SPEAKER_08

And it's so don't you know?

unknown

Don't you know?

SPEAKER_11

It's so very hard to say hello. When your whole world comes flashing down, it's so very hard to say hello. When your whole world comes crashing down, destination calling. Will you catch me when I'm falling? Cause I'm messing up down here Now I'm a hopeless dreamer, lazy could for nothing schemer, and it's so ordinary.

SPEAKER_08

Don't you know? Don't you know?

SPEAKER_03

Don't you know? A symphony of sin. Let the music move you on Synth Pop Symphony.

SPEAKER_11

What's happening? Is a dream come true? I am the king, and we are the prince. You don't want to love us and making sense. That's why I'm here to have this so that's where you should be. Don't find out your love as no stats. You know the child, you hold the fears, you will love you all tears, feel for your love, share your dream, you be the one surrounded, you feel the love, the love that's wrong, feel for your love, and share your dream. I know you too well, I freed you like a food to turn around, take a look at all.

unknown

I know you too well.

SPEAKER_01

I just love has no disguise, just free, deep down, shall know you should be from 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 Barbaraz of Read of My Leaves. We also directed Time Heartful of Love on 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 8 Wonder 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_13

I have no choice, all I've was meant to stay, with or without. As I spend my days searching for ways, others on the go. So it's radio, rushing out. 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. Never seeing the sun, draining the blood from my victims, to give me the strength to go on the shame just as the dog drums.

SPEAKER_11

And 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.

SPEAKER_13

My victim's eyes float all up as they feel the terror and flaws and eyes burn in the darkness, waiting outside your home, a life that's truly immortal, a Lord of the unknown.

SPEAKER_11

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 the end, I don't think so.

SPEAKER_14

Emotions 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. My voice is never heard. I blissful life of solitude. I speak on spoken words. People tell me they're frustrated, but I don't really care. Because my weakness gives me life, and I will never share.

unknown

It's all right. Let's slow it down all we've struggled for up to now when you lay down your arm.

SPEAKER_01

That's when she saw.Anywhere 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_15

The very best in high-end 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 Falk after 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're the first came to your foot and to around my mind I feel like running down my throat, I feel my night Whatever you say, whatever you do my eyes, you're in the same I always like can never never go I always like can make it burn the shooting balls that you always like a boat I always like make it burn the shooting balls with every you say, whatever you do, I want to be eyes, you can dance to me, whatever you say, whatever you do, be honest, look how my eyes are fast on synth pop symphony from the sea.

SPEAKER_11

No 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_18

Pushing through, even though I'm sad and scared.

SPEAKER_11

No home should be done. Loving you makes it worth pushing free.

SPEAKER_01

That 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 Fisher Activity with his interline track. Next time I'm gonna bring you some more rare 80s and 90s tracks in the last couple of weeks. And we did all the three, and then we can crack hearing you in the record label. I know they're Holocaust here with their most famous singles. And I just love the backing vocals and 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_19

Well, everything's fine so far.

SPEAKER_06

Playing the best electrode pop, synth pop, and the best remixes only on synthbop symphony.

SPEAKER_01

You'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_11

When 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. Was there nobody that confronted you? Then what keep you far away from the pain? It's getting stronger.

SPEAKER_07

It's taking longer.

SPEAKER_11

You took the story from a book. That was fiction, but you want more. It's getting stronger.

SPEAKER_26

When I'm alone, alone with my room. I said everything I think about you. A good time to get a bad time to share how much I loved you and how much I cared. So many nights, nights that I cried.

unknown

Shine back in the teeth that I do stand. I do love my fortress, my portrait, I think I forget I just touched.

SPEAKER_11

If you're an amazing set of incredible synthpop from Eric C.

SPEAKER_01

Powell 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 TSF in the next video.

SPEAKER_09

I've had a little bit too much. All of the people start to rush, start to rug, How does it twist the dance? 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 ain't say And where I'll get an hour some night. I love this bigger baby, but I can't be straight anymore. What's the name of the dog? Can't remember, but it's alright. Just say- I'll be gonna be okay. Just do them, just say 'em, it's gonna be okay.

SPEAKER_10

Just be just paying. Just dance, just hold me, just dance, just be just dance, just hold me, just be just all this holy, this, this, just be just saying, Just be okay.

SPEAKER_17

I'll put it up. Don't know. In your pool.

SPEAKER_09

Just pick it too, just piss.

SPEAKER_01

I had listened to about two minutes of that mix and I I didn't know it was actually that good. That 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 Anne of Singing 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_05

The very best in the mix, only on Synth Pop Symphony.

SPEAKER_07

Wir gingen gemeinsam durch dieses wunderbar, das sich für dich verwandt. Mit Nazimarzischen Verstand entspannt. Ein Wunder hier, ein Zahn gleich dort, hat man hier und doch schon was zeige dir mein Gesicht da du siehst mich nicht Ich weiß genau, was dir gefällt ich schaff dir eine neue saubere Welt und der Kampf und der nur deine Wahrheit sind werke, seid ihr Sehn, ihr was du alles nur mit meinen Augen sehen und nicht zu verstehen keine Angst, wie kannst du dich mit mir gehen, nein, großes Eiß für dich allein, wie kannst du endlich mal du selber sein, im Meer am Sonnenschein, sage ich dir deine Wünsche ein Darf du siehst mich nicht, was they call this.

SPEAKER_11

Time is like a bullet in the hand. I run for cover, just like you. Time is like a liquid in my hands. I swim for dry land, just like you. Time is like a blanket on my face. I try to be held, just like you. I will survive and so will you. We are the only ones right now that are celebrating, and we are joining us right now.

SPEAKER_11

I don't know what to start, it's what's a success.

SPEAKER_22

I expect one surprise on the lesson and she wants to be the same for some sky once, that's it from the mother's eye.

SPEAKER_11

I don't want to start, and you let's go to the back, but six cents of viewer, and when I die, I expect to find a big love. I don't want to start, I knew that's what was true. I expect to find a new block. I don't want to start, I knew that's when the room was what I think that's what a six cents of your expectation have returned.

unknown

Oh, the point of no return. So your favorite command.

SPEAKER_11

Oh, they come in to burn us. Oh boy, we need your hope to live. Oh boy, you have so much to give. Oh boy, don't let it get you down.

SPEAKER_03

Some Fox Symphony in the mix of words, what says it was a change to yellow, two down to a young two down here.

SPEAKER_11

Oh, they're drowning in my feelings. Oh boy, I'm old enough to know. Oh boy, let it hurts to grow. Oh boy, don't let it get you done. Too young to die. Too young to die.

unknown

The baby who would say the words not okay. The baby who would say the word says it.

SPEAKER_11

Will they be found? Or will I be lost? On the rushels and frozen hair white burn out and fade away as death stars haunted by the darkness, and the empty world. The future is inside, golden rays are star. You and I should know something. So let it go. Be remembered for more than one life going over what we once were to embrace it all and be lives as death starts haunted by their talkers, tell the empty body. Cause everybody knows the future is the soul. It's time to come. Tell us where to go. Cause everybody knows the future is inside, called in the rest of the style. Take some time, it's time to go.

SPEAKER_22

I close my eyes and pray. I know it's hard. I'm on my knees, I'm on my knee because I need you a tree.
