This week on Synthpop Symphony, we celebrate the past, present, and future of synthpop with a packed show full of exclusive mixes, new releases, classic moments, and a featured artist interview.

We kicked things off with a custom Depeche Mode mini-mix, featuring The Sun and the Rainfall, Boys Say Go, and I Told You So, all expertly reworked by PE3VAX — a high-energy way to launch the night.

From there, we moved into brand-new synthpop, spotlighting Birds Away from Darwin McD and No Time (Inevitable Mix) from Lifelong Corporation, followed by a special 40th Anniversary mix of Pet Shop Boys’ “West End Girls.”

The show then dips into remix territory with Ultravox’s “Love’s Great Adventure” (Blank & Jones Remix), Carrellee’s “Captain the Straight Razor remix,” and the iconic Mike Mareen Powerplay Megamix, blending Love Spy, Agent of Liberty, and Dancing in the Dark — a classic that still sparks debate and still moves the floor.

We also featured two standout tracks from Color Theory, including The Last Time (Matt Mancid Remix) and Punching Shadows, before sitting down for

THEN It’s an exclusive interview with James Knights of KNIGHT$ and the legendary Boytronic.

That interview flows directly into a KNIGHT$ Megamix with James Favorites, featuring tracks from the new Supernatural Lover EP — including Supernatural Lover, Goodbye 70’s, Boom Bang Boom, and Gelato — mixed alongside James’s personal picks, including Die on the Dancefloor by Tyson, and closing strong with the AP Mono 40th Anniversary remix of Mike Mareen’s “Dancing in the Dark.”

From there, we circled back to pure ’80s with New Order, Stevie Knicks and Cetu Javu.

To close out the night, we let a stunning modern disco remix of Donna Summer’s “I Feel Love” breathe on its own, followed by Peter Wilson’s “Unbreakable,” and finally wrapped the show with The Human League’s “Love Action” (Dominatrix Remix).
