Synthpop Nonstop

Music

In the late '70s, a new music subgenre, synth-pop, arose and launched the MTV era. As synthesizers became mainstream, synth-pop took up residence in nightclubs worldwide, eventually giving way to the rave scene, before coming back full force in a new century. Today, artists from the dawn of synth-pop like Depeche Mode and New Order fill arenas, supported by a new generation of artists they inspired.

Synthpop Nonstop is a beat-mixed, one-hour, weekly music show that features a diverse selection of classic and contemporary electronic and indie dance music. Host/producer Patrick draws from over a decade's experience programming public radio, as well as from years working in the record business and for global tech industry brands.

Synthpop Nonstop was first broadcast in 2022 and has been available to all public media since January 2024.
