About SPW

SynthpopWorld is a small, independent music magazine for people who love synthpop and synthwave, and the sounds around them: darkwave, Italo and nu-disco, electropop and related styles.

What we do

  • New releases: fresh synth music worth hearing, from new names and familiar ones.
  • Reviews: honest takes on singles, EPs and albums.
  • Stories behind the songs: the people, ideas and moments that shaped the music.

SynthpopWorld started in September 2018, out of a simple love of synth music. After a long pause we are publishing again, and we hope the site stays a home for this music and a way for artists to be heard.

Editorial independence

We choose what to write about ourselves, based on the music. Sending us a track does not guarantee coverage, and our reviews reflect our own opinions.

Submit your music

Our new submission system is coming soon. Until then, send your music to submit@synthpopworld.com with:

  • artist name
  • track title
  • YouTube, Spotify and/or Bandcamp links
  • a short bio

We listen to everything, but we can’t guarantee a reply.
