But no one's really there running through the silence, nowhere left to hide something in the darkness, who will be inside Shadow starts to crawl, reaching on the spark, fleeting lights with fall, swallowed by the dark Echoes in the air, racing against time.

SPEAKER_03 11:42

Sleeping outside all have shine me, voices fade away.

SPEAKER_07 11:58

Lost along the way, holding on to something, slipping through my hands, falling into places I don't understand. Shadow starts to crawl, reaching on the spark, fleeting lights with fall, swallowed by the dark, falling faster, too.

SPEAKER_28 12:43

Silent bosses for me down less break, one less break before the dark is all less flowing faster, foo singer, flowing faster, a fantastic synth band out of Gothenburg on the west side of Sweden.

SPEAKER_00 13:34

You just heard Cred with her incredible new single called Chasing, officially dropping on June 6th. And be sure to also check out their previous release called Hold On, which I'll be featuring on the show next week. Before that, from Los Angeles, it was Black Light with Maried Alive, a standout track from a fan that just keeps getting more powerful with every release. Easily one of my favorite films of the year so far. And I've got to share some amazing news. A huge thanks to them for the recognition. And just a reminder, Fent PopCivity aired first across FM and streaming stations worldwide. And each episode is rebroadcast as a podcast the following week. So if you miss the live show, you can always catch up online. You may be doing that right now. And coming up next, something brand new from a favorite year added in topsiventy. This is Neon Capital with Midnight Lovers.

The next generation of electronic dance music.

SPEAKER_06 15:40

Chasing dreams we couldn't see. Back when we were lost in a dream, seventeen embers in at the scenes. The magic covers you and the midnight lovers. Back when we escape every night, seventeen and no one does insight. The magic of the spot thing light, midnight lovers. Stumbling around all over time. When it was time to go back home, you always walked me to my door. Back when we were lost in a dream, seventeen and bursting at the scenes. The magic cultures you midnight lovers. Back when we escape every night. Seventeen and no adults inside. The magic of the spark cleaning light.

SPEAKER_07 19:01

And you don't have to stand you on the way. If you die, take you to Medal and Sunday moments, not the sink too. See the sun and your man. If you love me on your two.

And no reasons, no reasons for actions in a dream, when I'm reading pages full of words, I'm hardy look, it's getting hard, it's getting hard, it's not a dream, the dream in a dream when I'm reading pages, pages full of words, it's it's getting hard, it's not it's getting harder, it's getting harder, it's getting harder now, homie vos, push me holding now, all the push me holds my hell Justin around the round spine hell.

SPEAKER_00 27:43

That was Blanc Mange, and wow, they did not disappoint with their classic line vision. And if you ever get a chance to see them live, take it. We also heard brand new music from St. Lucia, a syncop track called Falling Asleep, and honestly, I'm not sure why they gave it that name. Because I don't think there's any way anyone can sleep through that track. It's that good. We kicked off the show with the latest from Neon Capital called Midnight Lovers. Alright, now that I have your appetite for remixed 80s classics, let's keep it going with a mini-mix featuring Sparks, new orders, Jillian Gilbert, and Stephen Morris with their 1993 side project called The Other Two, and we've got some to Pesh Mode with Personal Jesus all coming up right now in a mini mix on Synth Pop Symphony, the past, present, and future of synth-driven music.

SPEAKER_17 28:27

Synth Fox Symphony in the mix.

unknown 29:46

When the person looks at you, So just be gracious and wait in the queue.

SPEAKER_08 29:56

Yes, it's a tradition, they say it like a bright Christmas day.

unknown 30:01

And traditions must go on. And though I say yes, I see, no, I really don't see.

SPEAKER_07 30:23

When do I get twisting the lights and not just? When do I get twisting my way? When do I get just like when do I get twisting my way? Now it's home to the street. And just got a new face.

unknown 31:37

But I am not too neat.

SPEAKER_07 31:44

I'm not one of those that I could review. When do I get to stay in my way? When do I get to see the lights and not trust it? When do I get to stay in my way? When do I get to do it my way? When do I get to the lights of fish? When do I get to stay in my way?

SPEAKER_08 33:15

When do I get to speak my way? When do I get to find the lights and not trust? When do I get to speak my way?

SPEAKER_07 33:26

And I've been all hell. When do I get to do it away? When do I get to find the lights? When do I get to speak my way?

SPEAKER_03 40:38

Someone to be oppressed. Someone who's there. Someone to be on press, someone who cares.

SPEAKER_29 42:01

Someone to be oppressed, someone who said, Oh, the receiver I'll make you a believer.

SPEAKER_03 43:00

I go to live, you know what a forgiver Jesus Someone said, someone who gets Jesus, someone said, someone who said.

SPEAKER_00 44:37

Welcome back. We just heard Personal Jesus and When Do I Get to Sing My Way by Depeche Mode and Sparks. Both brilliantly remixed by Nick Rabowski, who I had the pleasure of meeting this week, and I'm excited to announce that Nick will be contributing exclusive remixes to the show going forward. And speaking of remixes, you also heard the Gabe Guernsey remix released last May of Tasty Fish by the Other Two. In that minimix, if you're not familiar, Julian Gilbert and Stephen Morris, the keyboard guitarist and percussionist programmer of New Order called the other two, and released their debut album called The Other Two and You in 1994. And they dropped this single I played tonight, Tasty Finish in 1991. And they even composed some music for TV and film, including episodes of America's Most Wanted. Lucky for us, New Order is still going strong. Unfortunately, minus the face of Peter Hook, who parted ways for the band in 1997. Next up, it's a synthpop Bonanza, featuring some brand new tracks and one slightly older favorite from a few years ago. I'll give you most of the set a surprise, but I'll give you a sneak peek. The first track is from KY and no, don't even start about the jelly jokes. It's a banger called Neon Night remixed by Lights of Euphoria. Let's dive right in.

SPEAKER_04 46:02

I see you come in. But don't disagree with what you say. But I'm thinking you'll be so hair. So disappointed in what you say I'm okay If I don't stop to walk away, the bad girls don't lie. So release me from the chain. But this won't help you with the pain. I cannot see where you're going. I can only stay behind. All your words are dying in the shadows of the main night. Watch me is that channel I wander up from you tonight. I'm no longer scared. I'm protected by the main night. Now I see where you're heading. But real lies I don't want to go. Because all other times you were stabbing me with words that no one knows. And I see you're waiting for me. But I realize I don't want eyes to grow. Cause now I know it's over.

unknown 48:48

I can see where you know it.

SPEAKER_04 48:52

I can only stay.

SPEAKER_10 50:51

Why you looking at me like that? Everybody can see it, can't you say? Why you talking to me like that? Why did you please I'm sorry to find it? Why you talking to me like that? Why you touching mine so like fast? Why you touching mine so like that? This really came as such a surprise to me.

SPEAKER_26 52:30

Surprise to me. Surprise to me. Surprise to me.

SPEAKER_10 52:48

I think the scissors something to be a lot.

SPEAKER_00 54:35

From their new album called In Game, this is Rogue Effects with the title track In Game, new on Synth Pop Symphony.

SPEAKER_14 55:03

This is the end of the end of the end, so now we have to be able to do it. Come take it down, that's the one, make it That was just incredible.

SPEAKER_00 58:12

It's like a nineteen nineties progressive house track with acid overtones and soaring vocals layered on top. It created such an immersive experience. If you haven't heard the album Endgame by Rogue Effects, it dropped this week, and I highly recommend you head over to Bandcamp and grab yourself a copy. You will not be disappointed. Also in the set, we heard a modern classic, or at least not so old one, from Piston Gamp with something in me, the Techno Mancer remix. I think it was from 2022, but it could have been 21. And we kicked it off with KY and Leon Light. From our album release party with Guardian Shell, and the haunting fifth wave handle and shimmering production, and basically the most unreal vocals you're ever gonna hear from Sally, and also got a brand new modern classic from Nueva Cemento with Vanity, and a brand new card from any weather title. It's all new, and it's all amazing right here.

SPEAKER_07 1:03:41

Can we trust your hands?

SPEAKER_06 1:03:45

Can you be honest with you? Sunday should be free.

SPEAKER_19 1:04:10
