Welcome to Synth Pop Symphony 287. I'm your host and curator, Matt Williams, and tonight we're throwing the regular format out the window. We're going full-on retro, no brand new tracks tonight, just remixes and retro futuristic classics designed to move your body and your mind. For the next two hours, it's all about the mix, and I've got three exciting sets lined up for you. First up, a high-energy blend featuring camouflage, Alpha Ville, and a killer, depeche mode versus Yazoo Mash-Up. In the second hour, it's a full-on tribute to the incredible Paul Hardwood 80s remixes, including tracks from Dead or Alive, Dualipa, OMD, Go West, David Bowie, Modern Talking Erasure, and more. But that's not all. You're also here remixes from Luca Lilu, some classic Madonna, and a few rare gems that didn't quite make it into the mix, but were too good to leave out. We'll kick things off with a fresh Italo style remix with the Pesh modes, Enjoy the Silence in the mix, followed by a brand new stunning remix of ABC, Book of Love, Howard Jones, and Den Harrow, all mixed to perfection. Get ready. This is Sinpop Symphony two eighty-seven, and it starts right now.
