Syntronix & Dualarity are back together with Monsters, a new single out on 30 October 2026 on Aztec Records. It follows the pair’s earlier collaboration, Dancing In The Fire With You, which their Bandcamp notes say has passed 76,000 streams on Spotify.
Syntronix is the synthwave project of Belgian producer Fabian Vanderlinden, who some will also know as Flying Decibels. Dualarity is an English singer and songwriter who describes his music as mostly synthpop and synthwave, with the odd detour into alt rock and dream pop.
The Bandcamp notes call Monsters a cinematic synthwave and synthpop single built on nostalgic production, emotional vocals and dystopian storytelling, and the first of many songs to come from the duo. Aztec Records frames it as the opening chapter of a five-song love story set in a dystopian world, about outsiders, love and defiance.
The lyric is written to someone hiding behind a smile and fancy clothes, and the chorus turns that into a quiet promise: “we’re monsters darling, we’re not afraid of the dark.” Vanderlinden and David John Bartlett wrote the song, and Vanderlinden produced it.
Monsters runs 3:17. The sleeve is an original, human-made illustration by ktopium: a horned figure in a flight suit embracing a chrome android in front of a huge orange sun, with a ringed planet hanging in the sky.
