SYNTHPOP SYMPHONY by DJ MATT WILLIAMS

Almost a month ago I was out here on the blog, private tragedy is the main reason for my absence, but life goes on. 

One of the best mixshows, radioshows outhere is Synthpop Symphony with DJ Matt Williams so let us start up with that, you have two hours of enjoyable music  to look forward for, from Matt, so, ENJOY!!! 

Pressrelease: 

Labor Day is behind us, the kids are back in school, vacations are winding down and pumpkin spice has somehow invaded everything. 😂 Technically, summer is hanging on until September 22… but I think we all know the deal. Summer 2026 is pretty much in the rearview mirror. And before Synthpop Symphony charges into fall, I thought this would be the perfect week to take a little trip back in time. 

So I went digging through the Synthpop Symphony archives and pulled out one of my favorite shows from March 2024 — SHOW 220! And here’s a fun end-of-summer fact: the word equinox comes from Latin for “equal night,” although day and night aren’t actually exactly 12 hours each on the equinox. 🌎☀️ Basically, even Mother Nature likes a remix. 😎 🎙️ 

THIS WEEK: SYNTHPOP SYMPHONY — SHOW 220 ENCORE This one is loaded with some fantastic music from Erasure, OMD, Pet Shop Boys, Howard Jones, De/Vision, Dead or Alive, Teleskop, Mind Machine, Lifelong Corporation, Knights, Claire Richards, Lucca Leeloo and a whole lot more. 🔥 A FEW OF MY FAVORITES: 🎵 Erasure — Love to Hate You (DB Remix) 🎵 Dead or Alive — Youthquake 2024 Megamix 🎵 Pet Shop Boys — Vulnerable 🎵 Claire Richards — Xanadu 🎵 Howard Jones — New Song (Farmyard Remix) 🎵 De/Vision — They Won’t Silence Us And Dead or Alive fans… that Youthquake Megamix runs nearly FIFTEEN MINUTES. You’re welcome. 😂 

Then we finish things off with the Lucca Leeloo — Prosperous Megamix, mixed by yours truly. This is one of those shows where I look at the playlist now and think, “Yeah… we played some seriously good stuff that week.” So whether you’re squeezing in one last weekend by the pool, putting away the patio furniture, or already decorating the house for Halloween 🎃… crank this one up. 

📻 SYNTHPOP SYMPHONY — SHOW 220 ENCORE Originally broadcast March 2024 Hosted by Matt Williams 🎹 The past, present and future of synth-driven music. And enjoy the trip into the archives because NEXT WEEK WE’RE BACK WITH AN ALL-NEW SYNTHPOP SYMPHONY!
