    Then it’s all about the next generation of new music from Positronic, De/Vision, Anna Marx, Brighter Than a Thousand Suns and Foreign Affaire along with the not so classic 2022 standout from Piston Damp. And in the second hour, get ready for Sinister Disco Vol. 22 — a high-energy, one-hour mix exploring the future of synth-driven dance music, featuring Italo Dance, Synthwave, and Electropop favorites from Hazell Dean, Italoconnection, Kasablanca, Linda Jo Rizzo, and more.
