need a shove? not getting any touch? you think it means too much?
you not coming undone? you afraid of fun? well, come play with Synthia
and let them recharge your love battery to the max with their Love Energy! mixtape… it contains a variety of french electro-berries, and other super-fruity goodies, smoothy blended using plenty of FM modulation…
when it comes to talking about their own production work, rather than their DJ mixes, their name may be a bit of a giveaway, and it ain’t ironical, which means that it does just what it says on the tin, and you can expect synths galore… with an EP on Revolucion Records released last october and an album being released on their own label this spring, they’re likely to be one name you’re going to be hearing once and over again during 2009 and beyond… their approach to french-stylee 80s-inspired beats oozes simplicity, freshness and flawless sampling… Synthia don’t try to be anyone else… their tracks are packed with light, colour and funk-filled, sometimes mysteriously dark arps… they don’t sound just like everyone else, and that’s why we just absolutely love them…
