Synthia = Love Energy
Leeds, UK. Who would have thought that town to be a hub for musicians that keep on exciting us with new synth pop? After GRUM and Edwin Van Cleef, here come Synthia and they bring a bag of love.
Synthia is Matt and Gus who use electronic drums and synthesizers to create a sound that melts 80s influenced pop tracks with deep house vibes. The two have released their “The Richmond” EP in November 2008 on Revolucion Records. Their album is coming out in March.
Here’s a clip of their demo track “Madonher” as well as their remix of a track by These Mountains.

And as a last but awesome goodie, Synthia have sent over their Love Energy mix which – as I have just noticed – is a totally awesome soundtrack for breakfast AND for late night private dance parties.
