SPEAKER_00 13:13

Welcome back to Synpop Symphony. I'm Matt Williams, and we're celebrating my 350th show with two hours of incredible sense-driven music. I kicked off that last set with the Headshot Boys classic. One more chance, one of those tracks that just takes us right back to the early days of Neil Tennant and Chris Low, originally released in 1984 during their Bobby Orlando days. The song was later reworked for their 1987 album. Actually, a great example of that early Hedgehog Boys and we turned up an energy with brand new music from early and live it out. This is a release of the walking. For nothing. I don't know about you. Now we're getting into something for show 350. We're going a little deeper into the electronic sign of things for show 350. This is one of the reaction We're featuring the remake from the one of the reaction. This is a new call. Now we can't be free to remake another. Of course, they're also known as the other two. And I absolutely love hearing your signature electronic theme. Featuring Robert is the middle of the year. That's right, Robert is the end of the unexpected collaboration that somehow just worked brilliantly. So we got a little bit of yesterday, a little bit of today, and hearing the great electronic music coming your way for the video. This is my show 350 electronic anniversary mini-minute right here.

SPEAKER_15 16:20

I'm trying to say yeah, I don't know.

SPEAKER_08 19:27

SPEAKER_00 30:49

Trying to save you. Also some block party with Now We Can't Be Friend Remix by New Order. And we finish things off with the Hype and Junior Jack featuring the unmistakable vocals of Robert Smith of the Cure. Now coming up next, we got some fantastic new music from an artist for big fans of here on Synthop Symphony, and that is Rubik! He's got a brand new album called Error 404, and if you love that modern Italo Disco sound with a little retro-futuristic attitude, you're gonna love what he's doing. His brand new track is called Dancing with the Devil and F and DYX music. So get out there and buy yourself a copy. And by the way, we're not done with Rubik today. Coming up in hour two, during my special Italo Disco manager, we're gonna be reaching back and playing one of his earliest tracks in my head. You're gonna get to hear a little where his music is today. With SPK and Metal Dance! Now, if you're not familiar with the early industrial electronic scene, SPK were pioneers in a darker experimental electronic sound. And metal dance with one of those records that helped bridge the gap between industrial music and the dance floor. It's raw, it's mechanical, it's a little strange and absolutely brilliant. Three completely different sounds with half of what synthhop symphony is all about. Connecting the past, the present, and the future of electronic music. So let's get into a right now. Brand new rubrics with dancing with the devil right here on Synth Hope Symphony.

SPEAKER_08 32:23

Only on Synth Fox Symphony.

SPEAKER_17 33:15

SPEAKER_12 41:05

Feel like fire, feel like ice dying in the silver city. Can't accept flight with light. Metal Dance.

SPEAKER_00 44:37

And that was a fantastic set of music right there. We kicked things off with a brand new Rubik's and Dance It with the Devil. Then I dug into Erasure Archives with Die for Love, and I wrapped things up with a real Electronic Underground classic from 1983 with SPK and Metal Dance. Alright, let's get back into the classic 80s vibe with three tracks that really capture the sound of an incredible era in electronic music. First I'm gonna go back to 1986 with the commune art and don't leave me this way. Now a little history on the commune art. After leaving Ronnie Beat in 1985, Jimmy Somerville teamed up with the classically trained musician, Richard Cole, from the duo. And what a combination. The biggest breakthrough came in 1986 with this incredible remake and Don't Leave Me This Way. The common art took it to a whole new level. I didn't have a high energy and a powerful game for it. Then I'm gonna head into some cash mode territory with a little bit of a twist. Back in 2015, it's fantastic something pretty ambitious. They went into the studio and we recorded the Cash Code's entire 1982 album of Broken Frame, Crack by Crack! And I'll tell you, they did an incredible job of capturing the spirit of the original album while putting their own electronic signature on it. So Leave and Finance is one of the real standouts for me. And if you've never heard their version of a broken frame, I highly recommend you check it out. And finally, how about from Getter Alive? A couple of years ago, we got a fantastic collection of Pete Hammond remixes celebrating the music of Getter Alive, and just about every track that played an important role in the band's evolution was represented in that collection. So Pete Hammond, of course, part of that legendary Stock Aiken Waterman production team. And he knows this sound inside and out. Tonight I'm dropping one of my absolute favorite My Heart Goes band. Three and fantastic tracks with a whole lot of 80s nostalgia. Let's run it up. The common art is gonna kick things off, but don't leave me this way.

SPEAKER_01 46:41

Remain seated, please. Permanecer sentados, for favorite.

unknown 47:38

I can extend show this. So don't leave me, leave me this way. I don't understand. I'm a joint command. So baby, please, don't you leave me this way? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Leave me this way. I can exit, I will surely miss. You can care. Don't you leave me this way?

SPEAKER_10 49:32

Come satisfy me. Come satisfy me, come satisfy me. Come satisfy me, come satisfy me, come satisfy me, come satisfy me.

SPEAKER_17 1:00:26

We have raised the full stuff.

SPEAKER_12 1:00:30

Nothing's gonna save us from the big trouble. I have been situations that go for diplomatic relations. If only knew the answers, sir, I thought we had a chance. I would stop this thing from spreading like a cancer, I don't wanna play anymore.

SPEAKER_17 1:02:42

Can I say I can't take the door? I can say this emotional violence.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:37

And I kicked things off with Marshall's brilliant remake of the fish code Leave in Silence. Alright, it's now time for one of the freshest mixes I put together all year, and this one has a pretty unusual story behind it. It's called the Laundroman Arcade A Tallow Mix. Now you're probably wondering what does a laundroman have to do with a callow disco? Let me explain. I was at a laundroman one day, and over the speaker, they were playing some crafting disco music. Obviously, whoever owned it playing has some pretty good taste. I just need one of the giant commercial machines. Here I am doing laundry, I'm thinking, exactly what happened. I'm putting together a full hour of a hello disco. The first thirty minutes we're dedicated to the next generation of a hello disco. For the second thirty minutes, I'm going back to the classic and the retro and fire fancy. And a little bit of yesterday, a whole lot of today, and everything I love about this incredible style of electronics. And I'm kicking off things with a really special song from Disco on 45. It's a project from producer Dan Rouge. And I'll tell you, if you're a fan of modern talking, you're gonna love this. It's got that unmistakable Euro disco sound fresh modern production that brings it right into 2026. It's almost like what modern talking might sound like today if we were just getting started. So the track is called Face of the Truth, and it's a perfect way to launch this incredible hour of music. So whether you're at home, in the car, out on the dance floor, or maybe doing a little laundry, turn it up and enjoy the ride. This is the Laundromat Arcade Atalamix exclusively on our 350th edition of Sinpop Symphony.

SPEAKER_05 1:06:39

What you lost along the way Is the price you have to pay? Why does a girl smile when she dance?
