During this weeks show, some of you may have been on Facebook and other platforms and noted, I was trying out the varies ‘live’ broadcast things…..which confirmed I have the face for radio. And whilst I was being controversial, I chatted about the Genre of ‘Synth Wave‘. and asked, is this hurting new electronic / synth artists, as people will be more likely to call ALL synth bands ..80’s bands – is this good or bad, does it matter????

We had a stunning Yazoo cover from Circuit3 this week, plus new tracks from Alan Dreezer – Shelter – Tiny Magnetic Pets [which featured Wolfgang Flur] – Iversen – Gary Numan. We had remixes from Vogon Poetry, Paul Humphries and EmT along the way.

Liking this weather at the moment, warming bright- like a summer I guess….and In a week in which Tony Hadley left Spandau Ballet again. I wondered how many bands continued after their frontman left – quite a few if memory serves. That was my on-air subject and it was fun to hear what or who contused after their lead singer departed. We had more new and varied tracks this week, as we played new music from Neonsol, Strobegirl & D’jaly, Tiny Magnetic Pets, Nius X, PreCog, Pattern Language, Promenade Cinema and a few new remixes along the way; even a 1970 disco classic….just think Hot Gossip, or better still….

Welcome to my little blog from the regular show, well after the fact. We chatted this week about the return of Nintendo’s SNES albeit called Classic and how I had a Sega mega-drive and a Playstation; but I’m no gamer.   I begged the question that won’t most people be using their smart devices now for such treats.

New music wise, we had a stunning Voxless- which was a jean-Michel Jarre cover, from Airman. We had new tracks from Twist Helix – Moby – Shadows and Mirrors – Lionhearts – Lia Rox – Destination  – Defeat/Nature Of Wires and many more treats.

In a week where I posed the important questions – Like, why do my trainers [sneakers/sport shoes] have holes appear in the toes area, and I asked for prevention methods or advice via Facebook. I was un-surprised at the quality or lack of quality advice. Proving to me that social media is no better then a social club; just quicker banter. To save my sanity after all that, I was able to showcase yet more new tracks on this week edition, this time from Mangabros Feat. Jill Beaulieu (Meter Bridge) – Cryotainment – Diamond Fields / Rat Rios – Dicepeople – Lemonade Kid/Amanda/ForgottenBee – 5TimesZero – Psychopathic Romantics – Real Experts v.

This weeks show, just happens a to be the last show before the huge ‘Synth Wave live’ anniversary event in London, which will see 11 international acts perform live in London’s Hoxton, aswell as 3 DJ’s and an exclusive free after-show cult nightclub invitation. Naturally, I played a few more of the artist’s on the bill; as I have done over the last few weeks, and I mentioned a few exclusive pointers to this festival day of Synth ness- admittedly with a naughty chosen Mexican type theme bed {you will need to listen again to find out the reason for the Mexican theme} – See you Saturday April 1st at Synthwave Live** in Hoxton 2pm SHARP.

Apart from the mexican references, I did expand on the joys of having a week of work with zero plans, and more importantly delivered more new tracks for your ear bits. This week from KI:Theory – One Thousand Exabytes – 5 Times Zero – Static Shore – Lunar Twin, along with the odd artist classic track, especially as this weeks Voxless was from a synth Hero of the sound scape of pure electronica. oh, and there were a few 90’s tunes and more gig announcements, so It was a fairly full show for ‘a week off’ type Synth City.

On a spirited week in which we synth fans tried to digest the latest studio album from Basildon’s finest export- Depeche Mode, we cherry picked two tracks from the album ‘Spirit‘; which was not an easy job, especially as a lot of people have firm opinions on the merits of the new album, still I laced-in a rather cool Depeche Mode  cover that features on a promising spring Sci-Fi comic heroine based blockbuster.  We had loads more new music this week from Where The Night Falls , Formatic, AudioDeluxe and we had, not one but 2 great new covers of two classic tracks. First up was a track from a USA artist Ki:Theory and then another delightful cover from, Daysound featuring Neil Francis – You will have to listen to find out who their cover tracks are. I dropped the odd synth classic track as per, a few current chart type numbers and by sods law this week, I had an extra Voxless edged into the show, from Rodney Cromwell no less. Finally, as it is getting so much closer to the big one-day festival in London- Synth Wave Live, we had 3 more of the artists played on the show, who are  due to play live in Hoxton on April 1st.

Well the final show for 2016, as we say goodbye to a year in which we lost so many heroes….its hard not to wish the year over. I for one had a nice 2016, played some great new tracks a plenty on my show and met some great new artists, attended some great gigs and had the pleasure to DJ at quite a few of the best live music events. So I feel quite happy about my lot in 2016 and excited about 2017.

We had My Phoenix FM presenters, pick of Album of the year, with a track taken from Blackstar by David Bowie, my chosen track of the year, which was from Neil Francis & Daysound. A few cool new remixes and a brand new track from Perpacity & DVL, to squeeze in to a show that, whilst it was the last radio show of 2016 for me, as always, for me, I prefer to look forward then back and dwell…….. to a degree. 

Thank you all for listening to the live radio shows each Tuesday and I hope you had discovered someone new, that you liked within the 300+ debut singles and album tracks, I had the joy to introduce this year. Thank you to those artists for letting me share their work. It was truly great to meet a lot of my listeners too in 2016, you are all far to kind and I really am grateful of your support to my show; and the share of the rerun via mixcloud…..which supports all those artists on my shows.

Check out the final Synth City rerun on Mixcloud for 2016……Happy New Year x
