This week on Synthpop Symphony 291 we’re bringing back one of the most beloved episodes ever — our Sept 1 2024 Weekend special (Show 237).
It’s two full hours of synthpop, Italo, remixes, and dancefloor anthems — a mix so good, we had to give it an encore!
🎶 Featured highlights include:
✨ Janet Jackson – Control (Parallox Remix)
✨ Bronski Beat – Why (Superchumbo Remix)
✨ Depeche Mode – Never Let Me Down Again
✨ Yes – Owner of a Lonely Heart
✨ Talking Heads – Psycho Killer
Plus, fresh energy from Sophie and the Giants, Ashbury Heights, Genix & Flowanastasia, Silent Audience Music, Vanello, and many more.
And don’t miss the exclusive Sinister Italo Vol. 1 mix, packed with pure retro-futuristic fire.
It’s one of the best shows I’ve ever done — and I’m thrilled to share it again this week as Synthpop Symphony 291.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
