Synthpop Symphony 269 Electropop Synthpop Synthwave Italo Retro New Wave + Sinister Decades 1981-1987!

Episode 269 of Synthpop Symphony is here—and this one’s extra special. I’ve been under the weather and losing my voice this week… which means less talk and way more music! We’re diving into extended, 100% fresh new mixes featuring brand-new tracks from Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Mind Enterprises & The Magician, Core in Motion, Hyperfield’s stunning rework of Frankie Goes To Hollywood’s classic The Power of Love, and a massive remake of the 2000’s rave and club hit Toca’s Miracle from Chris Burke, Daniel Merano & Dino Mileta. You’ll also hear not-so-classic synthpop from Beborn Beton and Die Sexual, mixed in with the dreamy new vibes of Platronic. Plus, debut appearances from Mayah Camara, Druzy & Odysette, and Tally Koren!—and Thomas Anders of Modern Talking returns with Cheri Cheri Lady 2025.Then it’s time to turn back the clock with one of my best Decades Mixes of the year—featuring 80s-inspired remixes from Paolo Monti and DJ Paul Harwood. Expect explosive reworks of Depeche Mode, OMD, Erasure, Yazoo, Modern Talking, Phil Collins, INXS, Chaka Khan, Eurythmics, and more—plus a killer Dead or Alive x Dua Lipa mashup you didn’t know you needed. Nearly three-quarters of this episode is in the mix—tuned up and ready to move you. A-ha – Take on Me (Moreno J Remix) [Warner Music / Moreno J Edit]Sophie Ellis-Bextor – Relentless Love [Cooking Vinyl]Mind Enterprises + The Magician – Human Dance [Because Music]Hyperfield – The Power of Love [Independent]Core in Motion – You Took Everything [Sonic Sound Factory]Chris Burke, Daniel Merano, Dino Mileta – Toca’s Miracle [Kontor Records]Beborn Beton – Dancer in the Dark [Dependent Records]Platronic – How to Ride the Wave [Conzoom Records]Die Sexual – Need to Sin [Young & Cold Records]De Soffer – Keep on Jumpin [Retro Groove Music]Mayah Camara – Boyfriend [Neon Vibe Records]Druzy + Odysette – Where Love Lives [Synthwave Records]Tally Koren – Free Will [Independent]Thomas Anders – Cheri Cheri Lady 2025 [BMG]Dead or Alive vs Dua Lipa – You Spin Me Round Like a Rainbow (Paolo Monti Remix) [Epic Records / Remix: Monti Reworks]Ekynoxx – Blue Monday [Independent]Depeche Mode – Everything Counts (DJ Paul Harwood Remix) [Mute Records / Harwood Remix]OMD – Enola Gay (DJ Paul Harwood Remix) [Virgin Records / Harwood Remix]Go West – We Close Our Eyes (DJ Paul Harwood Remix) [Chrysalis / Harwood Remix]Yazoo – Don’t Go (DJ Paul Harwood Remix) [Mute Records / Harwood Remix]David Bowie – Let’s Dance (DJ Paul Harwood Remix) [EMI / Harwood Remix]Modern Talking – Brother Louie (DJ Paul Harwood Remix) [Hansa Records / Harwood Remix]Erasure – Sometimes (DJ Paul Harwood Remix) [Mute Records / Harwood Remix]Chaka Khan – I Feel for You (DJ Paul Harwood Remix) [Warner Bros. / Harwood Remix]Phil Collins – Sussudio (DJ Paul Harwood Remix) [Atlantic Records / Harwood Remix]Deniece Williams – Let’s Hear It for the Boy (DJ Paul Harwood Remix) [Columbia Records / Harwood Remix]Toto – Africa (DJ Paul Harwood Remix) [Columbia Records / Harwood Remix]INXS – New Sensation (DJ Paul Harwood Remix) [Atlantic / Harwood Remix]Eurythmics – There Must Be an Angel (DJ Paul Harwood Remix) [RCA / Harwood Remix]We'd Love To Hear From You!
