🎧 SYNTHPOP SYMPHONY – EPISODE 340R1
This week on Synthpop Symphony, Matt Williams delivers one of the biggest and most exclusive
episodes of the year.
For the first time ever, hear music from the long-lost 1996 Belvedere Kane album Such Trying
Times, originally shelved and unheard for nearly 30 years. The spotlight includes a brand-new
Dead or Alive track featuring Pete Burns, along with a powerful Parralox remix of “Sex Drive.
We’ll also be spinning an additional track from the Belvedere Kane album, giving listeners an even deeper look into this rediscovered synthpop gem. It’s a rare moment fans won’t want to miss it.
From there, the show moves into a dynamic mix blending new and classic sounds — including
t.A.T.u. ’s take on “How Soon Is Now?” and Modern English remixed by Nuovo Testamento, plus
new music from Morrissey, Kungs, and MIKA alongside favorites from Infernal, Real Life, and
Steps.
Hour two launches into Sinister Disco Hi-NRG 2026, a full-throttle, BPM-driven dance
experience featuring Ernest Kohl (JTV Remix), De Soffer, Babert, Lucca Leeloo (Italoconnection
Remix), Ken Laszlo, Sophie Ellis-Bextor (Claptone Remix), Ross Alexander (Matt Pop Club
Remix), and more — blending modern Italo, classic Hi-NRG, and peak-hour club energy.

With your host, DJ Matt Williams. Your dance music Odyssey starts now.

SPEAKER_00

Welcome to Scent Pop Symphony, playing the very best in all forms of synth pop and freshening the airwaves with both new and classic synth-driven music. This is episode 315, and I'm Matt Williams. Tonight is a super special show with so many surprises, I can hardly contain myself. We've got new and classic music from modern English and Nuevo Testamento. Cannons, Kungs, tattoo, de sober, steps, new order, and so much more. Plus, we've got plenty of mixes, including one coming up in just 15 minutes, and a full Sinister Disco experience in hour two. So let's get into why I'm so excited tonight. We have a brand new Detroit live track featuring Pete Burns and Velvidere Kane. Now, if you're not familiar with Belvidere Kane, don't worry. The album was originally shelved by the record label back in 1996 and never heard until now. It's called Such Trying Times, a collection of 11 standout tracks, and tonight we're gonna be debuting two of them. First up is Belvedere Kane with Pete Burns and Dead or Alive with Legends Forever Young. This is pure mid-90s Dead or Alive energy, but honestly, I think it's stronger than 80% of what the band was releasing at the time. Then we're gonna follow it up with another brilliant cut from the album called We're Not Lovers. But a little background for you. The project is the brainchild of Barry Stone, who's also produced Dead or Alive's 1995 album, Nucleopatra. So you're definitely gonna hear some of those influences throughout today's tracks. In addition, we're gonna spend Sex Drive, which is in my opinion one of the very best tracks from Nucleopatra. And now, here's Barry Stone himself introducing Velvedere Kane and sharing the story behind the long-lost album in his own words.

SPEAKER_23

Hearing the tracks brought back so many memories and reminded me just how much these songs had meant to me. It made me think that the songs should be out there and not hidden away. So here we are. Almost 30 years since the first single came out, we now have the album. Such trying times is on CD, it's on vinyl, you can stream it, you can download it. I really hope you enjoy listening to it.
