Xanadu

Dead or Alive takes over with a massive Youthquake megamix featuring nearly 15 minutes of pure Dead or Alive energy.

Plus, we're going to hear Claire Richards taking on the Olivia Newton-John and ELO classic Xanadu plus DJ Beto reworking Blondie's Heart of Glass, plus Eric C. Powell and Andrea Powell, plus Charlotte Gainsbourg.

Then later, I'm going to dig into my own mix archive with the Luka Lelou Prosperous Mega Mix, mixed by yours truly.

Luka Lelou has new music out in 2026.

I've got the brand new Eric C. Powell and Andrea Powell with Saturn.

This will be the last single release off their new album called The Getaway, which will be out, I believe, April 11th.

We also have new music from Ed Ismetev with Simply Unearthly, Claire Richards with a Xanadu remake, and DJ Beto with a remake of Heart of Glass.

It's all right now in this set on Synthpop Symphony.

The love that we came to know.

They call it Xanadu.

And now, open your eyes and see.

What we have made is real, we are in Xanadu.

A million lights are dancing inside your heart, a shooting star.

Forever nothing more that you'll be with me in Xanadu.

Xanadu, Xanadu.

Listen to the beat in Xanadu.

I love that Producer Kams took this to her team at work, and in the process of that, they came up with a playlist from their actual work team of the 10 songs or songs of people's life soundtracks.

And she shared with me a link to this amazing playlist that contained 55 songs that range from the likes of [singing] Xanadu, ba, da, da, da, da, da.

Xanadu.

To musical excerpt from Electric Light Orchestra, a little ELO, never hurt anybody.

Some Hans Zimmer, who arguably is one of the most amazing soundtrack artists of our time.
