🔥🔥 THIS WEEK ON SYNTHPOP SYMPHONY — ALL-NEW EPISODE 313

DON’T SLEEP ON THIS ONE 🔥🔥

This episode is a full-spectrum synth experience — modern Italo, dark synth, massive

remixes, and two no-joke throwback mixes that hit hard.

We kick things off with Grammy-winning Lady Gaga and “Abracadabra” (De Soffer Remix),

euro-electro classics from Get Far, and brand-new synthpop from Alex Braun off his new LP

Angel Machine, which has quickly become my favorite album of the week.

You’ll also hear Eloquent with a fantastic Blancmange cover you don’t want to miss, plus Peter

Wilson, Project K, Magenta Soulstar, and more.

We also have a killer remake of Book of Love’s “Boy” by Catherine Moan — and very few

artists ever dare to cover Book of Love, which makes this one something truly special.

Then we slide into the shadows with a dark synth set featuring a Gary Numan x Depeche

Mode mashup, followed by Blaklight’s “Buried Alive” (Dancing Plague Remix) and My

Manifesto — dark, heavy, and absolutely made for this show.

And that’s just the warm-up.

SINISTER EIGHTIES

New remixes of Talk Talk, Visage, Dead or Alive, New Order, and Erasure — reworked,

modernized, and mixed for today’s dancefloor.

SINISTER NINETIES

Straight into peak Eurodance with Corona (Razormaid Remix), Culture Beat, La Bouche,

Captain Hollywood Project, and a killer Razormaid cut from Voice of Buddha that takes

things to another level.

This is the past, present, and future of synth-driven music, mixed the way it should be —

with intention, energy, and love for the culture.

Synth Pop Symphony. The past, present, and future of synth-driven music. Welcome to Synth Pop Symphony. Pop Symphony. Playing the best new wave electroparts. Synthwave, 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_16

Welcome to Synth Pop Symphony. I'm DJ Matt Williams. I've spent over three decades behind the mic, shaping sound across commercial radio, FM programming, and artist development. And tonight, my curated playlist spans four decades of synth-driven music from 1981 all the way to 2026. Coming up on the show tonight, we're featuring new music from Savage and his latest album, Eternity. And here's a great bit of synth history. The man behind Savage, Roberto Zanetti, was also the record label behind and publisher behind Corona's massive 1995 hit, Rhythm of the Night. So I thought, you know, I'm inspired tonight to do something first here on Synth Pop Symphony. A fully mixed 90s Eurodance set featuring music from Corona, Culture Beat, Voice of Buddha, Lebouche, and Captain Hollywood, just to name a few. That set is coming up shortly. We've also got a full Sinister Disco-inspired 80 set, featuring new remixes from New Order, Jetter Alive, Kim Wilde, and Erasure, plus a lot more. You're also gonna hear brand new music from Project K featuring Magenta Soul Star, Black Light, Alex Grand, Eloquent, My Manifesto, Mental, the Star Writers, plus classics from Get Far, and Vicious Pink, and if the time allows, I'm gonna scuff even more music into the show. But first, let's kick things off with one of the biggest electronic music moments of the last year. Maybe it wasn't a comeback, but Lady Gaga delivered some serious electronic dance music in 2025. Abercadabra was the track that landed her a Grammy, and this week it gets the remix treatment from one of our favorite remixers. This is the sofa remix of Abracadabra by Lady Gaga right here on Synth Pop Symphony 313.

SPEAKER_06

I just wanna be your friend. How can I make sure you're breaking all the rules? How can I be sure I should be high alone? Up on the mountain, reaching for the skies. Don't tell me how the how it went. Don't tell me all the moon and star Don't tell me I'm the devil's friend. Don't tell me, don't tell me I've got some I didn't hear you as you left my room last night. Don't turn your back on me. I didn't hear you as you left the room last night.

unknown

I'm climbing mountain, reaching for the skies.

SPEAKER_06

And not as soon as I joined the moon and find the sunburn. Don't tell me how the house wind. Don't tell me all the moon and star. Don't tell me how the devil's friend. Don't tell me, don't tell me I've got too far I can give it up.

SPEAKER_01

I can give it back. I can give it up. I can give it back. I say that we can be there.

SPEAKER_13

I say that we be no friend. I think yes, it's one of the four. You don't be anymore.

SPEAKER_06

And don't tell me I'm the outlet we'll tell me on the blue style. Don't tell me how the devil's friend.

SPEAKER_18

Experience it with Matt Williams on Synth Pop Symphony.

SPEAKER_16

So this is just one of the many superb tracks on the new Sauage album Eternity. And this one really jumped out at me partly because the title is Symphony, but also because the track is just relentless. It's pure driving high-energy dance music from start to finish. So turn it up and enjoy right here on Synth Pop Symphony, your home for high-energy dance music.

SPEAKER_03

I always wondered why. All I have is just a memory, a memory of my life. If I could bank the heavens for you, I'd do it just for you. All I have is just a picture. A picture in my mind.

SPEAKER_16

So definitely keep it locked. Also, in that set, a fantastic remake of Blochmanja's Don't Tell Me, performed by Eloquent. And by the way, Eloquent opened for Men Without Hats not long ago. And I highly recommend checking out this amazing video for this track on YouTube. We also kicked off the show with Lady Gaga with Abracadabra from her Grammy winning album Mayhem, remixed by Silver with a furious new physical energy. Absolutely fantastic. Now coming up next, Alec Run has a brand new album now called Angel Machine. And in my opinion, it's already a top container for Central Electric Album of the Year. Tonight's track is called. After that, not many artists have ever covered a book of love. But tonight's Catherine Moon recreated that easy magic with a boy. And then we dropped the 2007 for one of the most incredible technical backdrops ever created in a single. Let's keep it moving right now. This is synthophony.

unknown

Step by step by step by step.

SPEAKER_19

Step by step by step by step in the end.

SPEAKER_07

It's worth doing the push. However, fast or slow. Step by step we go. Step by step, I step and step I step, I step on you, please.

SPEAKER_16

That last set took us straight into Dark Scents territory, kicking off with a mashup of Gary Newman and Apech Mode, blending the seed of a lie and stripped. From there, we moved into Black Light with the Dancing Claque remix from their buried alive maxi EP, and we kept the energy up with My Manifesto and Promises. That was a high energy indie synth finger from an artist who reached out directly to me on Synthop Symphony. We're just minutes away now from hour two. We're gonna be a hundred percent in the mix. We're gonna start with the eighties, and then we're gonna move into the nineties. And don't forget, Sintop Symphony relies on listeners like you to keep the show afloat.

Living a life that I can't leave behind The wisdom of the fools that you're free, but that's the way that it goes, and what nobody knows. Well, every single goes. I feel like I never should. Whenever I get away, I just don't know what to say. Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday? I'm not sure what this could mean. I don't think so what you see.

Now let's get into this 90s mix. I had a lot of fun with this one. Mainly because it took me straight into a different time. You know, the music here is absolutely the sound of its era. It's heavier, it's bass-driven, it's got big hooks and clever synth riffs that define the decade. We've got Corona with Rhythm of the Night along with Culture Beat, Lamouche, Captain Hollywood Project, and Voice Libra, which is a lesser known track I thought I'd throw in. This is Synthes starting off with Rhythm of the Night.
