The first album Galactica, released in mid 2020 was a concept piece which blended space synth and heavy guitars to take the listener on a musical voyage into the future. 
This was followed in 2021 by the EP Shades of Light, five tracks of upbeat electronica, with the track Love and Loss featuring on BBC Introducing on Radio Newcastle. 2023 saw the release of Shades of Night, six tracks of dark synth guitar infused music.

ARTIST : O.a.G.

ALBUM : InMotion

RELEASE : 8/5/2026

There’s something quietly remarkable about O.a.G., a duo whose very existence challenges the traditional idea of a band. With Iwan rooted in rural Shropshire and Wesley based in North Carolina, their collaboration is entirely transatlantic—yet In Motion feels anything but distant. Instead, it’s immediate, immersive, and deeply connected.
From the outset, the album leans into a love of late-20th-century electronic music, echoing the textures of the 80s and 90s without slipping into imitation. Shimmering synth lines glide over tight, pulsating rhythms, creating a sound that feels both nostalgic and forward-looking. There’s a sense of “sonic alchemy” at play here: familiar elements are reworked into something vibrant and new, rather than simply revisited.
What stands out most is the cohesion. Despite the duo never having met in person, In Motion unfolds with a natural flow, as if crafted side by side in the same studio. Tracks evolve patiently, layering melodic fragments and rhythmic shifts that reward repeated listening. The production is clean yet atmospheric, allowing each element space to breathe while still maintaining a driving energy.
The album also reflects growth. Since forming in 2021, O.a.G. have steadily refined their sound, and this release feels like a confident step forward. There’s more depth here—more willingness to explore mood and texture—without losing the infectious energy that defines their work.
Ultimately, In Motion is a testament to what modern collaboration can achieve. It bridges not just geography, but eras of electronic music, blending retro inspiration with contemporary sensibility. For listeners drawn to melodic, synth-driven soundscapes with a pulse, this is a journey worth taking.

ARTIST : THE ELECTROZIXX

TITLE : BELGIAN SYNTHPOWER

RELEASED : 2/11/25

On their fourth EP, Belgian Synthpower, The Electrozixx lean confidently into the neon-lit DNA of classic European synthpop while keeping one foot in contemporary electropop. Across six tracks and just under half an hour, the Belgian duo deliver a tight, cohesive statement that feels less like a nostalgic exercise and more like a focused declaration of identity.

From the opening pulse of “Electric Waves,” the EP establishes its core aesthetic: shimmering synth lines, steady dancefloor tempos, and clean, emotive vocals. The production is polished but not sterile—there’s a pleasing warmth to the analog-style textures, suggesting clear inspiration from the 1980s wave of synth-driven pop without sounding like a pastiche. Tracks like “Higher,” with its energetic tempo and club-ready rhythm, push toward a more modern EDM-adjacent space, while still maintaining melodic clarity.

What stands out most is the duo’s commitment to melody. Songs like “Feelings” and “Remember” hinge on simple but effective hooks, delivered with a sincerity that avoids the irony often associated with retro synth acts. The vocals—handled by Cat—carry a direct emotional tone, giving the tracks a human core beneath the electronic sheen. This balance between mechanical precision and emotional accessibility is where the EP finds its strongest footing.

Structurally, the record is straightforward: verse-chorus pop forms, accessible runtimes, and no unnecessary detours. While this keeps the EP engaging and digestible, it also hints at a limitation. At times, Belgian Synthpower plays it a bit safe. Tracks like “Game Over” and “Tomorrow” are solid but don’t significantly expand the sonic palette introduced earlier.

Still, the consistency works in its favor. Rather than chasing trends or overcomplicating arrangements, The Electrozixx focus on crafting a unified mood—something that feels increasingly rare in a playlist-driven landscape. The result is a release that functions best when heard front-to-back, where its cohesion becomes a strength rather than a constraint.

As a snapshot of a young synthpop project finding its voice, Belgian Synthpower is impressive. It doesn’t reinvent the genre, but it doesn’t need to. Instead, it refines and celebrates it—pairing nostalgia with clarity of intent and a clear sense of direction.

A shout out to Peter Rainman of People Theatre who mixed and mastered the EP.

Verdict: A sleek, melodic synthpop EP that prioritizes atmosphere and consistency over experimentation—promising, polished, and worth watching as the duo evolves.
