Dead Electric

Dead Electric plays the sounds of past futures. Showcasing vintage synth, space, and new age music from the 70s and 80s, it’s a show that embraces the dreamy, driving, beautiful, haunting, and melodic side of when humans and machines meet to make music.

Shows typically begin in more grounded and upbeat synthpop territory before gradually leaving the earth into new age and ambient spaces. In a given show, artists might include Tangerine Dream, Laurie Anderson, Giorgio Moroder, Vangelis, Kraftwerk, Clara Rockmore, Laraaji, Enya, Jonzun Crew, Klaus Schulze, or Michael Rother, and genres like synthpop, ambient, electro, 8-bit Nintendo soundtracks, German kosmische, Berlin School, and the occasional progressive rock song, assuming the host is in the mood for lyrics about wizards.
