2020s – Periodic Table of Synthpop

Detox 2

[Compilation #228]
Download the brand new PToS free online compilation: Detox 2.

After curating more than 225 compilations, I’ll take the liberty of sharing another one that has nothing to do with synthpop (if you only like that genre, don’t download this compilation).
I listen to synthpop several hours a day, and every now and then I get saturated. I need a change of “air”. I explore very distant genres and from time to time I discover some gems. This compilation brings together some of those hidden gems that I discovered.
I insist: download this compilation only if you like musical exploration 😉

[Compilation #193]
Download the brand new PToS free online compilation: Then/Now 4.

Many times you may have asked yourself “what is the life of that artist of the ’80s today?”. Many of those synthpop/new wave artists who peaked in popularity during the ’80s or ’90s are still working today or have released material from time to time beyond the year 2000. I set out to put together the best songs that those artists released during this century, and here’s the result.
This compilation brings together 18 songs by synthpop/new wave (and related genres) artists that you may have lost track of. It includes Pet Shop Boys, OMD, Simple Minds, Duran Duran, Kon Kan, Depeche Mode, Hubert Kah, among others!
