SPEAKER_01

From Los Angeles, California, welcome to Synth Pop Symphony. I'm Matt Williams, and for the next two hours, we're taking you on a thrilling journey through the past, present, and future of synth-driven dance music from retrofuturistic remixes you won't hear anywhere else to cutting edge synth pop you didn't know you even wanted to hear. This is where the classics meet. What's next? Tonight I've got new music from Vogan Poetry, Johan Agaborn, JXNS, Smart Viennas, Leon Ross, and Fancy. Plus the latest remixes from Madonna and so much more. I'm also revisiting some of the biggest tracks I've featured so far in 2026, mixing them with exclusive remixes, timeless classics, and a couple of incredible mega mixes tonight to keep you moving. Coming up, a fantastic new disco mini mix, and later in the show, an entire hour of classic synth pop and new wave, completely reimagined by Dominatrix. He's also known as Andrew Ectum. He's put his own unique spin on some of the Vegas Scent-driven classics, bringing those legendary sounds into a whole new era with incredible one-hour mega mix. But first, we're going to kick things off with something really special. I put together a three-track mini-mix featuring three incredible remix talents of TSF, who has a real gift for breathing new life into classic Scent Pop. Julian has worked with Mute Records on official remixes of some Erasure's biggest hits. And tonight we're going to feature two incredible DePesh Mode remixes. First up, the timeless classic Just Can't Get Enough, followed by a deeper cut in Sympathy. This is from DePesh Mode's 2009 album called Sounds of the Universe. And we're going to bring Erasure into the mix too with TSF's fantastic remix of Leave Me to Believe. This was originally on their second studio album, The Circus, released in 1987. So we've got three incredible tracks, one continuous mix, and the perfect way to launch another two hours of synth-driven music is synthpop symphony. Turn it up wherever you are around the world. Let's get this started right now.

We started with Tapesh Modes and Sympathy. This is a deeper album cut from 2009's Sounds of the Universe, followed by their timeless classic Just Can't Get Enough. And we wrap things up with Erasure's Lead Me to Bleed. That was originally from their 1987 album, The Circus. I love what Julian does with these tracks. He manages to give them a fresh modern sound, keeping everything we loved about the original hand track. That's what makes great remixes. Great remixes. And now in this next set, I've got new music from Yoda and Johan Ackerborn with universe inflamed music. It's a fantastic track in his own right. But then when I flipped over to the B side of the single, I discovered another song called Our Hive, which is incredibly every bit and it's good. We'll start with those two amazing tracks. And then Moreno J, a big favorite remixer here on Synth Symphony, delivers a new remix of Aha's Take On Me. What's impressive is how much it respects the original version while extending the arrangement and adding a few tasteful surprises along the way. After this set, we're gonna get into our first mini mix, including the new Madonna, Heam and Paula, and the Sophers remix of Jerkin Out, which was originally made famous by the Caesars more than 20 years ago. Let's get into it right now.

SPEAKER_01

From Johan, Agaborn, and Doozy with Universe in Flames and Our Highs, both are outstanding new remixes from our synth lovers around the world. Next up, let's get into the mix. This week's mini mix features three new disco-inspired remix and one Italo remix. So we're gonna start with Madonna, whose comeback appears to be in full swing. The first remixes emerging from the Confessions 2 camp are nothing short of amazing. So we're gonna kick things off with the Italo flavored Hakey Gal remix of Madonna's I feel so free. We're going to follow that up with a fantastic remix of Dracula by Tame and Hollow, reworked by Boy's Noise. If you guys have been paying attention to Boy's Noise, they've been doing a lot of work with the nine-inch nails. Then we're gonna close out the mix with a brand new D Sophia remix of Jerk It Out. This is originally done by the Caesars, breathing new life into a classic that first hit over twenty years ago. Are you ready to dance? Let's do this right now in the mix.

That's a day, you want to know how to stop. You can't stop now, it's already taken away.

SPEAKER_01

Sofa rework of the Caesars Jerk It Out. Four incredible remixes mixed together for one high energy ride. And don't go anywhere because we've got even more mixes coming up in hour two. But first, this next set brings us three incredible tracks. We're gonna revisit one of the very best songs I've played so far in 2026. Back in March, Darwin McDee and Hugonot teamed up with Matt Hawk for the remix of Birds Away, and it was simply impossible to ignore. The track quickly became one of my favorite highlights of the year, blending emotional melodies, soaring sense, and a remix that elevated an already outstanding song to another level. So we're gonna do that. Then we're gonna move into a brand new release from Vogue and Poetry with Systems Red. This is a high-energy release from artists who continue to raise the bar with every single new track, and it grabbed my attention from the very first listen. In fact, this song is so good I made it my song of the week. I'm also gonna throw in a brand new collaboration from Fancy and Leon Roth, which brings a darker, more electro-driven sound to the set. It leads less toward traditional teledisco and more into modern electronic territory, and I think you're really gonna love it. So let's go back to March with Darwin McDee and Huguenot with a Matt Pop remix of Birds Away.

SPEAKER_00

This is Darwin McDee, and you're listening to Synth Pop Symphony with DJ Matt Land.

SPEAKER_01

We started by rewinding the clock back to March with Darwin McDee and Huguenot with Matt Hop's outstanding remix of Birds Away, a track that remains one of my highlights of 2026. From there, we moved into my song of the week. All systems read by the brand new release from Vogan Poetry. It's an energetic syntopic that perfectly captured while they continue to be one of the most exciting acts in the syntop scene today. So thank you so much to Vogan Poetry for sending that one over. This one took a little darker and more electro-inspired direction. Now don't go anywhere because we're gonna just dive into the next with the Dominator Mega Mexic. Dominator is the musical moniker of the producer and remixer making Germany. But before we get there, I've got a couple more tracks you didn't know you needed to hear. Making their thin top symphony debut is not a deep. Followed by the brand new collaboration from Jackson and Shadow Man. This is Thin Pop Symphony.

SPEAKER_17

I'm leaving all the shape, all I'll be high. I need you for the stars of this guy.

unknown

I never put a small passion.

SPEAKER_19

But now I'm finding strength inside of me finally becoming who I'm meant to be.

SPEAKER_01

What a fantastic set of music. We started things off by welcoming DAPA D to the Cent Hop Symphony family with their track, This is my time. After that, we heard the brand new release from JX and Ass called Shadow Man. They described it as a dark and animatricity. The data, the algorithms, and the online stuff right there. Before we get into the next one, I really want to get chronic. Let's get into this making right now for the next hour.

SPEAKER_16

Something will fall and smash on the floor. Without reading the text, know what comes next. And it's painful.
