🎧 SYNTHPOP SYMPHONY – EPISODE 315!
This week on Synthpop Symphony, Matt Williams delivers one of the biggest and most exclusive episodes of the year.
For the first time ever, hear music from the long-lost 1996 Belvedere Kane album Such Trying Times, originally shelved and unheard for nearly 30 years. The spotlight includes a brand-new Dead or Alive track featuring Pete Burns, along with a powerful Parralox remix of “Sex Drive.” We’ll also be spinning an additional track from the Belvedere Kane album, giving listeners an even deeper look into this rediscovered synthpop gem. It’s a rare moment fans won’t want to miss.
From there, the show moves into a dynamic mix blending new and classic sounds — including t.A.T.u.’s take on “How Soon Is Now?” and Modern English remixed by Nuovo Testamento, plus new music from Morrissey, Kungs, and MIKA alongside favorites from Infernal, Real Life, and Steps.
Hour two launches into Sinister Disco Hi-NRG 2026, a full-throttle, BPM-driven dance experience featuring Ernest Kohl (JTV Remix), De Soffer, Babert, Lucca Leeloo (Italoconnection Remix), Ken Laszlo, Sophie Ellis-Bextor (Claptone Remix), Ross Alexander (Matt Pop Club Remix), and more — blending modern Italo, classic Hi-NRG, and peak-hour club energy.
