Matt Williams Synthpop Symphony 299 HALLOWEEN SPOOKY 2025 SHOW!! Electropop Synthpop Synthwave + Spooky Mixes!
🎃 Synthpop Symphony 299 – The Halloween Show! 👻
It’s that time of year again
This week’s episode is packed with chilling remixes, cinematic reworks, and retro club anthems that blend classic 80s nostalgia with modern darkwave energy — the perfect soundtrack for your Halloween weekend.
🕯️ We open with a Halloween Mini-Mix featuring De Soffer’s stunning cinematic remake of “Thriller”, Rockwell’s eerie classic “Somebody’s Watching Me,” and a deep remix of Dave Gahan & Soulsavers — setting the perfect tone for what’s to come.
👁️🗨️ Later, we bring Thriller back in a whole new light — a dark, futuristic Scandroid remix that transforms the classic into a modern synthwave storm. Two versions, two moods — both unforgettable.
💀 The second Mini-Mix dives into full retro horror mode with extended club cuts from Oingo Boingo, Ramones, and A Flock of Seagulls — resurrecting three icons of 80s Halloween energy.
🌑 The Dark Synth Set pulses with today’s underground power — Blaklight, Church Fire, KMFDM, and Jay Wires deliver haunting vocals, moody textures, and industrial beats that define the new dark generation.
🌕 And to close the night… DJ Robert Anthony’s “Spooky Nights Like This” takes us into the after-hours with a cinematic, atmospheric finale that perfectly captures the Halloween spirit.
