Genre
Synthpop
Synthesizer-driven pop music. The form that made electronic sound human and vice versa.
-
Boy Harsher – Jeans A hypnotic, driving fan-favorite from Boy Harsher. Nostalgic synths, a bass arp that sticks, and Jae Matthews doing what she does best. -
Mondträume – Mind Games (Deluxe Edition) The Spanish futurepop project returns with their third full-length on Alfa Matrix. A time capsule walk through 90s and 00s synthpop nostalgia. -
2DCAT – Frames (Blue Rose Edit) Johan took a self-built sampler to a landfill and recorded the percussion. The result is the same song, rebuilt from wreckage. A must listen. -
Soft Faith – A Place to Hide (feat. Heather Nation) The New York duo bring in Heather Nation for a darkwave ballad born from divorce. Sad, beautiful, and impossible to look away from. -
Frozen Plasma – Warmongers (2026) A grimly necessary rework of the futurepop classic. Cleaner, punchier, and more relevant than ever, though not without tradeoffs. -
Neuroticfish – Skin26 The 1998 futurepop classic gets a 2026 coat of paint. Still huge, still emotional, still compulsively danceable. -
NNHMN – Strange Love The Berlin duo's latest single arrives as part of Opera of Lust and the Art of Sorrow, and it arrives fully formed. -
Catherine Moan – No Magic The LA synthpop artist returns with a retro-leaning single from her upcoming CM Ultra album. Strong bones, though the vocal direction gives us pause. -
Frozen Plasma – Silberlicht A polished new single from the German futurepop duo. Vasi's synthesis work remains precise and Felix's vocals are as reliable as ever. The press release promises a genre shift. The song does not particularly deliver one. -
Alienare – Au Clair de la Lune The North German duo takes a French folk song straight to the dancefloor. Driving, digital, and built for the club. -

BLACKBOOK – Different The Swiss-Dutch duo deliver their third album and most cohesive statement yet. Twelve tracks that hit hard and feel human. -
NITE x Dead On A Sunday – RNAWAY The second collaboration between NITE and Dead On A Sunday somehow eclipses the first. Vocal-forward and quietly devastating. -
AGNIS – Creatures of the Night (CZARINA Reimagined) CZARINA takes AGNIS's anthem somewhere epic and medieval. Gothic, cinematic, and genuinely hard to categorize. -
Beyond Border – Aftermath The final chapter of the Welcome To The Future trilogy arrives with high energy and emotional depth. Last Dance is the standout. -
Mesh – The Truth Doesn't Matter Bristol's finest return after a decade with 16 tracks and nothing to prove. The truth may not matter, but this album absolutely does. -
Tania Cassette – The Flame Glass Spells vocalist debuts solo with a nocturnal 80s synthpop single produced by NITE. -
NITE x Dead On A Sunday – Last Chance Two of dark music's most compelling current acts find each other on a single that earns the collaboration. -
Laibach – Allgorhythm (feat. Wiyaala) The first single from Laibach's first studio album in over a decade is strange, unpredictable, and ultimately impossible to dismiss. -
Madeline Goldstein – Dream 2 Die (No Heaven) The fourth single from Speaking to the Body evokes 80s synthpop nostalgia with a brighter palette than most of her peers. Captivating vocals throughout. -
2DCAT – Never Enough Hypnotic percussion, powerful vocals, and a chorus that shifts everything. Washington D.C. dark synthpop at its best. - BLACKBOOK – Nobody Loves You A bassline-driven synthpop single from the Swiss-Dutch duo. Catchy, bittersweet, and built for dancefloors and radio alike.
-
2DCAT – Touch In The Night The DC duo takes on a West German Eurodisco classic and makes it meaner. Warm analog synthesizers and a vocal that fits the song like it was always hers. -
AGNIS – Wicked Witch A seductive dark pop single from Polish solo artist AGNIS. Infectious chorus, electronic flair, and vocals that do exactly what they need to do. -
Kite – Kite On Ice YEAR0001, November 2025. A live performance on ice that has no business being this grand. It is. -
Vandal Moon – Money Dance The third single from the California duo's upcoming album DIE HAPPY. Retro 80s post-punk instincts, a driving bassline, and a chorus that will not leave your head. -
NITE – NITE The Dallas duo deliver their most complete statement yet. Five albums in and they are just hitting their stride. -
Carrellee – Captain (STRAIGHT RAZOR Remix) STRAIGHT RAZOR takes on Carrellee and delivers something hypnotic and dreamlike. A remix that fully earns its place. -
Isaac Howlett – Ghosts of the Tsunami Isaac Howlett's fourth consecutive DAC chart entry finds him moving further from nostalgic synthpop into darker, more driving territory. -
Ladytron – I See Red 25 years in and Ladytron still sounds like no one else. High priestess disco for the dance floor. -
