SYNTHPOP SYMPHONY – SHOW 306 | PRE-XMAS SPECIAL
We’re officially in the final stretch before Christmas, and Show 306 of Synthpop Symphony is all about celebrating the music, the artists, and the moments that defined the year — while setting the tone for what’s coming next.
I’ve carefully curated this episode to blend iconic synthpop and new wave classics with fresh modern releases, exclusive remixes, and high-energy mixes you won’t hear anywhere else.
This week’s show features music from Erasure, Soft Cell, New Order, Depeche Mode, Pete Burns / Dead or Alive, Duran Duran, Wham!, Company B, Philip Oakey & Giorgio Moroder, and more — artists whose songs helped shape generations of electronic and synth-driven music.
We also spotlight some of today’s standout producers and remixers, including Color Theory, with a stunning Matt Mancid Remix, De Soffer with the best Bronski Beat Smalltown Boy remix in years!, Plus NEW Moda Makina, Mello, Alec Le Roche, with classics from Roubix, Purple Disco Machine, and KON KAN, proving that the future of synth-based music is as strong as ever.
Special segments in Show 306 include:
• A De Soffer mini-mix re-imagining absolute classics like “Smalltown Boy,” “Blue Monday,” and “Shake the Disease” — done with most respect.
• A nu-disco powerhouse rack from Alec Le Roche and IMO inspired by Purple Disco Machine & Chromeo vibes
• My Pre-Xmas Synth Classics Mix — packed with sing-along favorites (and absolutely no holiday songs… (because sometimes that’s the real gift )
• And to close out the night, a guest EDM mix from DJ Cianppy\ Barcelona, Spain, making his Synthpop Symphony debut with a high-energy, vocal-driven set EDM Mix!

You're listening to DDJ Matt Williams, Los Angeles, San Francisco. Welcome to Synth Pop Symphony of Symphony. Playing the best new wave electro part, synth wave, guitar disco, and high-energy electronic dance music from the 80s to today. With your host, DJ Matt Williams. Your dance music Odyssey starts now.
SPEAKER_00Hello and welcome to Synth Pop Symphony, where the past, present, and future of synth-driven music collide every week. I'm your host, Matt Williams, and this is show 306, and I'm finishing out that magical final stretch before Christmas week. The lights are up, the year is winding down, and tonight's show is packed with holiday vibes, familiar favorites, and just enough new music to carry us into the year in style. You'll hear plenty of tunes you know and love to sing along classics, alongside newer tracks from Alec LaRoche, Mello, Moda McKenna, and Synthwave Siren. We're also gonna sprinkle in some festive synth moments throughout the night, including a special holiday mini mix featuring a highly anticipated Bronsky Beat Small Town Boy, Christmas reimagining by DeSoper. And in that mini mix, I'm also gonna throw Blue Monday remix in there again. I know I've played it twice already, but it's still sitting at number one on Beatport, so consider it an early Christmas present, plus DeSoper spin on Depeche Mode's Shake the Disease. In hour two, we turn things up with a dedicated holiday mix, and to close out the night, I have a brand new high-energy EDM set from DJ CMP, who I uh discovered through MixCloud, and his vocal-driven sets are the perfect way to wrap up the night and send us into that holiday season on a high note. Alright, I just got back from seeing Andy Bell of Erasure live in Los Angeles, and it was everything I hoped for and more. He hadn't been in LA for almost 10 years, and the crowd was electric as Andy performed new material from this amazing 10 crowns LP, plus a sleigh full of erasure classics. So it only feels right that tonight's first track comes from Erasure's Christmas album, Snow Glow from 2013. This is Loving Man, and you're listening to Sinpop Symphony's free Christmas holiday show.
SPEAKER_14This is Synth Pop Symphony.
SPEAKER_08Nothing ever was I love how you loved me. When I look in the mirror, you tell me that it's time to move on. Go to where I wanna, no regrets and no turning back. The best I could be I'll be a loving man.
unknownI'll be a loving man. You every wish is my comment. I'll be a loving man.
SPEAKER_08It's time to pull the souls out of my hearts. Love is forever. You it will be forever, we will be together on side around a lover, no regression, no turning back. Wherever it leaves me, I have to believe in a bigger plan. I'm no little one, I'm the boy, I'm a girl who has everything.
unknownI'll be a loving man. I'll be a loving man. You every wish you make no man I be a loving man, I'll be a loving man.
SPEAKER_15You're every wish you make no man up high, throwing her to say the CJ Matt Williams, Los Angeles.
SPEAKER_08My life is slowly turning gray and losing all its flavor.
SPEAKER_17Everything they say, gain and again and again, everything they say, gain and again and again, over and over and over, gain and gain and a gain of couch out, over and over and over, gain and gain and again, that's gold it's new, I'm not gonna go.
SPEAKER_08Why don't I just give up and submit to the great God of land? All my exotic gestures no longer in their mind Everything the same gain and gain and again Everything the same gain and gain and again over and over and over gain and gain and again monoculture over and over and over gain and gain and again monoculture monoculture monoculture monoculture medioca medioca monoculture monoculture medioca over and over and over the game and the game and the game monoculture over and over and over the game and the game and the game monoculture.
SPEAKER_14The very best in high-energy dance music only on Synthbox Symphony.
SPEAKER_00Right here.
SPEAKER_04Like sleeping beneath the stars, holding my father's hand. We and our lives are enchanted if we take it for granted Some bar.
SPEAKER_08We misplaced our attention and intentions, it could be last time What would I do to my control? This could be my last time, but I won't even know. This could be my last time, but I won't even know. This could be my last time, but I won't even know.
SPEAKER_04It wasn't so long ago. I kissed my son good night. The next night I let him be, figured it'd be alright. We're all dying to pieces and deep increases, crazy minds. Cannot afford to be reckless for something so precious, it could be last time. Let me smoke to find you and so we'll find you we could be as that find me What would I do differently?
SPEAKER_00Wow, that was the brand new color theory track, The Last Time, the Max Mancid Remix. As I said right at the top of the song, this one is a serious contender for best dance track of the year. We also heard a classic from Soft Cell with monoculture and from Erasure's 2013 Snow Globe LP. That was loving me. Alright, I've been waiting for this next release for a couple of weeks now, and I even resaved it on V4, knowing how great this remix is going to be. I told you we have to make moments right here, and this is it. Let's do this right now.
unknownShould never cry to them just to yourself as a bowl.
SPEAKER_08To treat me like you do when you laid your hands upon me, and it's only that you are thought I was mistaken. I thought I heard your words. Tell me how do I feel?
unknownTell me now, how do I feel those who can be for me?
SPEAKER_08Live through their vocations from the past until completion They'll turn with no more And I think that'll find it so hard to say what I need to say But I'm quite sure that you told me Just want to
unknownI see a ship and a hullaburn. I can and shall obey. But if it wasn't for your misfortune, I'd be ahead of the person today.
SPEAKER_08And I thought I was mistaken.
unknownAnd I thought I heard you speak. What's coming out? Do I feel? What's coming out?
SPEAKER_02How should I feel?
SPEAKER_08When your heart was bullied, burned bulletin, it's been it, belong, don't you? I felt like going down on my knees, begging you to adopt me. What you see is misery, and so you for me When I misunderstood Try as hard as you can I tried as hard as I could to make you see How important Nobody knows me as well as you do. Now I've got things to do. And I said before that I know you have to when I'm not better.
unknownNobody knows me as well as you do.
SPEAKER_08You know how hard it is for me. Share the disease that takes over my time in situations like these. Nobody knows me as well as you do. You know how it is for me. Shake the disease that takes a word that you wish you'll like me.
SPEAKER_00Absolutely amazing. Coming up next, we've got a couple of newer tunes and one classic. First time is Moda Makinez with wasted a track released about six months ago, and I didn't get to it, but I'm getting to it now. It's fantastic. And it's gonna be Mellow, one half of the secret group of our show with a brand new absolutely stunning track again again. And then we're gonna throw in a true classic, a track that was in Tele Symphony's number one song of 2024. A track with Rubik's in your head. And don't forget, our year end countdown, the best of twenty twenty-five, is coming up in just a couple of weeks. So make sure you don't miss it. Stay tuned, we've got more mixes, more energy, and more incredible synthesis coming up right now on Synthesymphony.
SPEAKER_08The wrong side of love. I keep your miles away. A little compromise can make you change your life. You can return so fast. You need to realize it that everything has changed That everything is wasted. I know it's hard to see a little compromise, a good and bad of life. I can't embrace you now. You have to realize it that everything has changed that everything is wasted the wrong side of love, the bad face of life, the wrong side of love, the bad face of life Je ne me soucie plus de toi.
SPEAKER_01Je ne me soucis plus de toi. Plus rien n'existe.
SPEAKER_14Only on synth pop symphony.
SPEAKER_00That was Synth Pop Symphony Song of the Year 2024 with Rubik's and In Your Head. You can absolutely hear those classic dead or alive, you spin-me-round vibes, and for good reason. The remix comes from the very same hitmaker who brought you that original in 1985, Pete Hammond. Up next is a new disco. I just received a brand new PhiloFX release from Alex LaRoche. It's called All Together, and this is the final Philo FX release of the year. And trust me, this one's a banger. It's got those slick modern disco vibes, reminiscent of Hurtual Disco Machine and Chromeo. I think you're gonna really take this one. And while we're in that groove, let's keep it rolling with Turple Disco Machine's wonderful life by Herz in that unmistakable Turple Disco Machine remix style, only he can deliver. And we'll wrap up this set with a classic rework of Con Can's I Beg Your Pardon. And this one's gonna be the Machine X remix. Let's get into it right now. New disco vibes right here on Synth Pop Symphony.
SPEAKER_20Says that he got in trouble, and if she doesn't mind, doesn't want to company.
SPEAKER_08The share of gives silence, and everything is understood. Susie grabs the man and puts a grip on his hand. The story puts a tear in his eye. She's like, Never give up. It's such a wonderful life sight, don't let go. Never give up, it's such a wonderful life sight, don't let him go. Never give up, it's such a wonderful life, don't let go. Never give up, it's such a wonderful life. As soon as he knows a baby was a family man, the brothers got him down on his knees. So she throws him at the wall and kisses the life fire. Suddenly he starts to believe. She says, Don't let go. Don't let go. Don't let go. Never give up, it's such a wonderful life. Don't let up, it's such a wonderful life. Don't let go Never give up, it's such a wonderful life.
SPEAKER_21Attention to me seems to drift, though I don't know where. And when we're alone, since there's nothing to say. I bring out the topic, you push it away. But I think it's just you don't care. Why do I feel you're gonna do it? Are we in an item?
unknownI need some commitment.
SPEAKER_21That's all I ask of you. Your lifestyle can change, don't be afraid of what you think's in store. I know what's on your mind, you've got lots to lose.
unknownWhat's the head to choose?
SPEAKER_21You won't get too deep, even though I'm with so much more. So think about it carefully. That's how it'll be. There's no use in trying to make it seem. That love don't come easy. You don't know what it's about. You get things together won't take any pain. Don't need to be here from you never again. You know if you try now to find someone to that was Con Can, I beg your pardon, the Machine X remix.
SPEAKER_00Before that, Purple Disco Machine dropped his remix of Wonderful Life by Herz, and we kicked it off the set with a brand new Alec LaRoche with All Together. Well, it's almost the top of the hour, and I thought, why not jump straight into some mixes? After all, it is the holidays. So let's give the gift of a mix. And so much more, all in the mix.
SPEAKER_14If you want us to be that's when I got six drive The best synth pop, synth wave, electro pop, and it's aloud dance in the mix, only on synth pop symphony.
