Welcome to Synth Pop Symphony, your destination for all forms of electronic dance music, from the hits of the past to the very best new synth pop, synth wave, new wave, and electropop, plus new disco, a tallow dance, and dark synth. It's the very best in synth-driven music, and we feature it here every week. I'm your host, Matt Williams, and tonight's show is absolutely sizzling. I've got brand new music from Candy Apple Blue. Their brand new album is called Breakthrough, and I'm taking you through four tracks straight from the LP and mixing them together into one continuous mini mix. Then in the second hour, it's Matt Williams' not so old Scent Pop mix, featuring some of the best electronic dance music from 2021 through 2023. It's a mix you don't want to miss. Plus, we've got brand new music from Johan Agaborn, Danny Squad, with a Pet Shop Boys remix of Heart, New Hot and Thready, Lifelong Corporation, Neon Capital, and a People's Theater remix of Electro Zix with Solaris D, Color Theory, and much more. It's a pack show tonight. Let's kick things off with Erasure. You know, you may have heard the band is putting the finishing touches on a brand new album due out soon, and TSF just released a brand new remix of Who Needs Love Like That through the Erasure Fan Club. This was Erasure's very first single ever released. So what better way to showcase the new remix than to mix it together with two other TSF creations? Run to the Sun and Lay All Your Love on Me. Three Erasure Classics, one continuous mix, and the perfect way to launch Show 342. It's the best in modern electronic dance music right here on Synth Bob Symphony.

His newest track, Time to Kill, is one of his strongest releases this year, and you're gonna hear it next. Plus, brand new lights of Euphoria with City Streets.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:13

I see my shutter space topic That was Johan Agaborn with Nina and Hush Hush Baby from what is shaping out to be one of the most anticipated synthop albums of the year. Why you ask? Because Johan is teamed up with some of the hottest names in synthop and a callow dance for one incredible collection. The album is called Cosablanka Night, Volume 2. We've already been treated to three tracks, including collaborations with R Missing and Little Boots. And when the full album drops on October 30th, there's even more to look forward to with new collaborations featuring some mysterious legends, including Fred Ventura, Tom Hooker, Fellowship Hero, and Yoda. This one is exactly lineup, and if hush hush baby is any indication of what's coming, Cost of Longa Nights Volume 2 is definitely an album to watch. We also heard the brand new lights of Euphoria with City Street. That was the extended mix, and we started a set of color theory from Orange County, California, just down the road from us here in LA, with a fantastic new track called Time to Kill. Wonderful track. Okay, I'm just gonna ready to drop the Synthop Symphony, not at all old Synthop Next, featuring some of my favorites from 2021 through 2023. And I'll give you a little hint of what's coming out of How about Shelter with Andy Bell, Sally Hero, Piston D, Luka Lelu, Star and Cold Connection, and actually the taste of what I have to do this one? But first, I got a couple more tracks to squeeze in before we get into the next. With endless conversations with more than the more electronic games coming away right here.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:26

Brand new Neon Capital with Is It Love. You know, these guys really know how to throw down some seriously dreamy synthwave tracks. We also heard the ElectroZiz and People's Theater remix of Endless Conversations. Great track. And speaking of great tracks, I've assembled some of the very best music we played right here on the show between 2021 and 2023. And I mixed it all together for the not-so-old synthpop mix. So let's get into it right now with one of my favorite, absolute favorite tracks actually from 2022. It actually might be my favorite track from that year. It's Silverhook and Elliot with Neon Bluebird. Turn it up. We're in the mix right now on Synth Pop Symphony.
