But first, let's kick things off with Tinic and their stunning cover of Psychedelic Fur's 1987 hit Heartbeat, followed by Parallox and their new remake of Blind Vision. That was originally done by Blanc Monge and Depeche Mode with People Are Good, another brand new Parallax remix. It's all happening tonight on Synth Pop Symphony 295. Let's get into it right now.
SPEAKER_11Synth Pop Symphony, the past, present, and future of synth-driven music She's a heartbait.
SPEAKER_05Yes, she's a heartbait. She's a door at the end of the dead and street, she's a heartbait and footsteps. I hear her footsteps. Here come rumors and lies, here comes my life a crime. I hear footsteps When the music goes down and the traffic stops Nobody talks at all When they travel out the town, I hear a heartbeat And I've shut off the shades when the radio stops. Nobody moves at all When the fit is asleep, I hear a heartbeat.
SPEAKER_00I hear a heartbeat In the shadows Out in the shadows It's like walking on glass, it's the end of the show in the shadows And sweet dreams She tells you sweet dreams It's like moving to the trash where there's always a girl and she's sweet dreams When the music goes down and the traffic stops Nobody stones at all When they turn off the sound I hear a hot base And I shut all the shades and the radio stops Nobody moves at all When the fit is a free I hear a hot base I hear a hot base Heartways I hear a heartbeat When we turn off the song I hear a heartbeat Heartwait I hear a heartbeat when the music goes down I hear a heartbeat This is Simple Symphony and no reasons and no reasons for shells in a dream they just full of words how do you look it's getting hard it's getting hard to dream just all the words getting hard it's getting harder it's getting harder it's getting harder than that we're setting up the show I should have been both break So I don't forget myself Sometimes it's fun but it's not a man of the Bible Keep it myself I think belong you to bad things to make sure it is trying to help you Wow we're kicking things off with a real rarity Tannic and their cover of Psychedelic Furs 1987 classic Heartbeat then we moved into Fresh Territory with Paralogs and their sleek new remake of Blind Mondja's Blind Vision and to close out the opening set another paralogue touch and their brand new remakes of Deputy Mode People who are good and absolutely fantastic. Next up, we find for brand new music, and I do have a treat for you. Honestly, I don't even know where to begin tonight because the new releases are that good, and I don't want to leave anyone out. But let's start with what I consider to be one of the most amazing soundtracks of the year. Speaking of red flag after last week's incredible show with a permanent record podcast and how to bring some more red flags in your ears, we're gonna hear never mind HTTP from your 2002 LP. Who are the gold which may very well feature the last recorded vocals by Mark Reynolds before his release in 2003? It's an early remix like before that you're gonna hear the newsletter vision. Their new track is called My Sphere. It comes from an album inspired by the deeply rooted aesthetics of the catch-mode and spell. Even more exciting, the record was crafted using the very same analog synthesizers that shaped a generation of sounds in the 80s. The synthesizers are the Yamaha CS5, ARP 2600, and the Sequential Pro 1, and more. Let's get into it right now with Split Vision and MySphere.
SPEAKER_02I hear the march is coming. I feel when it's glowing. I want a piece of knowledge that you are here inside my stair That you are here inside my stands are dark now, silence will talk, windows will close now, worry will walk hide in my corner, hide in my heart. I see the storm is nearing, I hear the voice of shearing, I feel the world is turning, I crave a light of journey, to know you're near inside my skin To know you're near inside my stand Clouds are heavy now, whispers will speak, north will shut now, shadows will see my rift here, stay in my soul. I see the storm sneering, I feel the dark is clearing, I sound the doubt is fading, I want the calm changing, and you are here inside my stay and you are here inside my stay inside my spin spin. And you are here inside my spin And you are here inside my sleep.

unknownWe know this to go, make it so less and to the radio With the T J rules, cause she knows what the things once we all go and balance to the technology of my generation that is like the self-standers called.
SPEAKER_16I guess I listen to the radio, kiss me with the ball, be that one, kiss me when the ball, E D flag and there is soaring FLAG turns to rings, and he able to see the lamb here. With the scope of conspiracy, ready for SG Cosmic City to grow the mind where we can always go because it's you can get the two video, but another one.
SPEAKER_07Across the silent distance, the spots began to fade My electrical
unknownDancing Matrix.
SPEAKER_07That's a seven day three. My electrical. That's simply tricky.
SPEAKER_00That track gets the honor of the week as a record of the week with Lights of Euphoria and Electric Lover. I told you there are definite shades of camouflage and red flag in there, and of course, we followed it up with Red Flag's Nevermind HTTP from 2002's album Who Are the Skulls? That was brilliantly remixed by Cosmicity, and we closed the set with split vision and their stunning track Inside My Sphere. Next up, it's time for the Mini Mix, and this one is all about fun. We're diving into three of the most playful and delightfully silly new wave dance tracks of the 80s. We're gonna kick things off with Men Without Hats and the Safety Dance. We're gonna crank up the energy with Baltimore as a Tarzan boy, and we're gonna wrap it up with anime motion and obsession. These are all freshly remixed and ready for you right now on Mini Mix 295.
unknownBut we can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind.
SPEAKER_13Because your friends don't dance, and if they don't dance, we'll have no friends of mine. I say we can go where we want to, a place where they will never find, and we can act like we can come out of this world, leave the real one far behind, and we can dance.

Say, we can act if we want to, if we don't nobody will. And you can act, we'll rude and totally remove, then I can act like an imbecil.

SPEAKER_03On my own, black as I thought. I don't see a play alone where I should draw the forest monkey business on a sunny afternoon. Gentle light, I'm leaving in the open. Maybe that gallery is all in black, I find blood to school to the sky. I still wonder, does the message get to you? It's alright, you want me so big a chance, leave everything behind you. Come and join me, one story. It's easy to survive. We're living in the over. All along like that's a boy. I didn't see, we play a lower show. It's my business on a sunny afternoon.

SPEAKER_17You are an obsession, you're my obsession.
SPEAKER_08Who do you want me to be to make you sleep with me?
SPEAKER_00And that was Mini Mix two ninety-five. For some reason I always remembered Animotions Obsession as being a much faster track, and when I put this mix together, I realized it's only 117 VPN. And after that, you also heard Ultimore as Tarzan Boy, and Men Without Hands with Cat. Next up, more brand new music, and this set is absolutely smoking hot. Don't go anywhere because in hour two, we've got a synth mix 295 half with a new and classic hat. On synthop Symphony.
SPEAKER_04I had borne, I felt recently all the things I did.
SPEAKER_08And when I look into your eyes, I think you felt the same as my mind. I can feel something in the air, cause there's no tip, and if you let me take you there.
unknownYou were young with so many hours and never too significant. I can feel it in the body. And I have two.
SPEAKER_08And yet I hope. And so do you. For somewhere so on to go out of my mind. I can't feel something in the air.
SPEAKER_07Cause there's a war anywhere.
SPEAKER_11And if you let me take it there take it there, music meets motion, join the rhythm revolution on Synthob Symphony.
SPEAKER_08Shadows dance in the hollow dream. The door stays silent, pale trembling. Like a trace of faded gleam. The dog's dream, a quiet breathing. Every night like was that home. Whisper circles, soft and cold. Will someone wake her from stillness before the final light grows old? The doll stream. A quiet breathing. Though she lies knows me. Every moment like whisper in this place.
SPEAKER_00Brand new from Italy, this is the Italian Connection remix of Strangers in the Night. Brand new on Synth Pop Symphony.
SPEAKER_08We were strange to sleep in the night.
unknownI was kind of eyes.

And it's gonna be the third single from the forthcoming album. Looking forward to that. Blacklight is one of my favorite bands. New bands all the time. And lastly not left.

SPEAKER_08Never seems to fold self. Never since we get the floor. The silence broke through even more. Never seems to feel like anything at all. We don't be softy. So say night tonight.
SPEAKER_00That was Neon Dreams with Midnight Haze, such a fantastic synth wave track. And speaking of great tracks, a big shout out to Black Light and their brilliant new single, Leave a Light On. And no, that's not the new theme song for Motel 6. Their new upcoming album is called The Haunting of Us, and it drops this December. So be sure to head over to VamCamp and show them some love and support. And we started out today with a real rarity for Red Flag, a machine. What you just heard was the metal shot editing. Basically, that's the radio version of the hammer and thumbnail minus the technical overlay. A true cut for collectors and a real freaking share with you guys here tonight. What if I told you? Remix.

Your hand in the mind. We don't need to hide. No rules tonight. Just lose control. We're caught in the rhythm outside outside.
unknownNo sun road, just some night. Underneath that silver.
SPEAKER_08Under the disco light. We don't talk, we just ride the high Bodies and all the track. We lose control and come. Sweat trips home at night. To fire all that, feel so bright. Until the disco lights, we own the dark, we own the night.
SPEAKER_04Hands on hips and a drinking head. You're dancing like you own the land. Talk is nothing when the bass kicks in. You smile like you're about to sin. Smoke in the air, but I see you clear. Heartbeats are tin, stereo loop, just us two, and beyond.
SPEAKER_08No sun, just sunlight. Underneath that simple button. Under the disco night, we don't talk, we just ride a high Bodies and over trying to lose control and come. Sweat trips all day night to find all that feels so bright. Under the tens of lights, we own the dark, we own the world.
unknownUnder the tensical light.
SPEAKER_08Shake the game of much better if you come out of the chance on your favorite way.
SPEAKER_11The very best in high-energy dance music only on Sith Fox Symphony. I never said I wasn't gonna tell nobody.
SPEAKER_08No baby. But that's the love that I can keep to myself. Oh no.
unknownWhen we're together, it's a cut holes in the fire.

unknownI need you, I need you, too much. Come on, come on.
SPEAKER_08You don't be jealous because we don't want to stay a baby. I guess that we want to love that for a birthday for the book, be the same. I never said I wasn't gonna be there. But that's what I mean I can give up.
SPEAKER_12Hello, what's the story race? Won't you worry about me anymore? You know things are easy. What we're dealing with each day. Kill us was enough to say you sorry that was enough to say you came out. Was enough to say you sorry was enough to say falling.
