Welcome to another edition of Synth Pop Symphony, where the past, present, and future of synth-driven music collide. I'm your host, Matt Williams, and tonight I've got a monster show lined up. Brand new tracks from Lady Gaga, Future Analog, Sineas, Strange Futures, Violentine, and 1086 with a killer new remix from RogueFX, plus a brand new track from RogueFX themselves. And that's just the start. We're also gonna spin retro futuristic gems from Shiny Toy Guns, Ross Alexander, The Blitz Kids, Hercola, and Don Diablo, including his explosive remix of Fleetwood Mat Classic, officially approved by the band themselves. On our School of Scents segment tonight, we take a twist. Instead of spotlighting a band, we're gonna dive into a label, the legendary West Side Records, home to some of the greatest late 80s and early 90s synth pop artists. And we're also gonna make sure that this School of Scents will also double as our mid-show mini mix, including those Westside classics from Camouflage, Microchip League, and Celebrate the Nun. Then an hour two, get ready for the massive 80s retro futuristic mix 292, fresh remixes of iconic 80s tracks, plus one sneaky new remix from Depeche Mode hidden inside the mix like a treasure hunt. And we're gonna kick it all off tonight with Erasure. Who needs love like that? This song is celebrating its 40th anniversary this week. Not only is it 40 years old, it's also the very first track erasure ever released. Let's get into it right now. You're listening to Synth Pop Symphony with Matt Williams, episode 292.

Today we're taking a trip to Frankfurt, Germany, the home of West Side Music, an indie label that started in 1984, and it helped shape the sleek and powerful sound of Frankfurt, Germany.

West Side had a Nicolas and Underground Electronic Energy. It's a Microchip League communicate. It's a radio short EVM with a lot of core.

Incredible how fresh these songs sound after all these years, and that's the power of synth-driven music right there. We heard MCL with Communicate, and if you love that track and want more, I highly recommend checking out another MCL classic called New York. Then we have Celebrate the Nun with Will You Be There. Fun fact, this band eventually changed their name to Scooter and went on to become one of Europe's biggest technical raid actors, and finally camouflage with the Great Commandment. Taken from the 1988 review album called Voices and Images. That record also delivered another massive hit, including Love is a Shield, and a smiling face. Truly one of the defining Santa Club albums of the era, and it's still a favorite today by many, many people. Now it's time to get a little darker. You know, we only review. They're very fast and dark and dark wave. And thanks for the power of social media. I connected with a brand new group to the show. Violent teen. Their track is called Savage City. And it's absolutely brilliant. And then we're gonna kick off the set with that one.

It is a fresh remix by Rogue Effects. Then we heard Rogue Effects themselves teaming up with Jawar on their brand new track called Dancing in the Night. And then we close it out with the latest from Synthetic Saints, and nobody told me. I've had the time this summer to produce some synth hocke tracks myself, and that is one of them. Now let's dive straight into one massive last set of music before we get into the mix. First off, we've got a brand new Jet Airliner remix from Thomas Andrews of Modern Talking. After that, I've got the incredible Don D. Hoplow remix of Fleawood Mac's 1987 hit, Little Live. Now, unlike many unofficial edits and remixes out there, this one actually had the blessing of Fleawood Mac themselves. And then we're gonna wrap up this set with a super rare gem from 2004, Hercul with every word, a track that hasn't been heard much anywhere until now. And stick around because hour two is where it all comes together. The massive 80s retro futuristic mix packed with serious remix magic from ABC, David Bowie, Journey, Survivor, Technotronic, and more, reimagined by remix masters like Rhythm Scholar, Dominatrix, and many, many more. So don't go anywhere.

But you don't know what to say. So take my breath away. And I have no idea that things are changed.

SPEAKER_00 1:18:23

Sadly, there was never another release from this artist, which is a shame because that track is absolutely incredible. Before that, we had brand new music from Don Diablo. This is his remix of Little Lies by Fleetwood Mac that originally goes all the way back to 1987. And unlike so many unofficial remixes out there, this one had the full blessing of the band themselves. And we kicked off the set with the legendary Thomas Anders of Modern Talking, reimagined a jet airliner, and that's a classic drawback to life by Thomas himself. Now, if we roll into hour two, it's time for the massive 80s retro futuristic mix. Two hours of pure remix magic with fresh cakes on ABC, David Cowie, Journey, Survivor, and Technotronic, and more remixed by Remix Masters, Rhythm Scholar, and Dominatrix. And here's a little challenge for you. Hidden inside this 80s driven mix is one track for 2022. Can you spot it? Listen closely and see if you can find the song that doesn't belong to the eighties. It's retro, it's futuristic, and it's all happening right now on Sinfop 7292. Let's get into the mix.
