🎧 MATT WILLIAMS’ NOT SO NEW SYNTHPOP MIX

Not brand new… but definitely not old school.

The Not So New Synthpop Mix digs into some of my favorite synthpop, electropop and Italo tracks and remixes from the last several years — music that may have slipped off the “new release” radar but still sounds incredible today.

This mix brings together Sally Shapiro, Andy Bell & Shelter, Dubstar, Piston Damp, Color Theory, Italoconnection, Fred Ventura, Cold Connection, Tareq, Silverhook, Lucca Leeloo and more — plus a synth-driven reworking of Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance.”

Everything is locked together at 124 BPM for one continuous, beat-matched ride through modern synthpop.

Sometimes the best music isn’t the newest track in your inbox. It’s the one you forgot how much you loved.
