Taken from their most successful album up to that point 'Automation>>Baby', released 15 March 2013, 'Adjust Your Set' is a catchy track by Mesh, the British electronic alternative band formed in 1991 by Mark Hockings and Richard Silverthorn. Enjoy another great remix by Rob Dust, taken from the single released in November 2013.

Taken from the EP of the same name, released 10 October 2014, 'All' is a powerful track by Torul, the electro/synthpop project started as a solo artist by Borut Bernik, and joined later by Borut Dolenec & Maj Valerij.

MOON.74 - Breath (Rob Dust Remix)
Since this week is dedicated to Rob Dust, I had to include at least one track by MOON.74, the electronic project started in October 2007 by singer and songwriter Dominic Hein, in close collaboration with Rob as producer. Taken from the EP of the same name, released 25 March 2015, 'Breath' is the kind of track that puts me in a good mood, so even if the video isn't really related to the lyrics, I hope you will enjoy it anyway :)
Evo-lution - Lies (Rob Dust Remix)
Taken from the album 'Jahreszeiten' (='Seasons'), released 25 September 2015, 'Lies' is a very cool title by Evo-lution, the German electropop band formed by Björn Miethe, Klaus Schwarz & Micha Meyer. The track gets the Rob Dust treatment, so play it loud and enjoy those "big beatz" :)

New week, new special. After People Theatre, this week will be dedicated to another of my fav' remixers, 'Master' Rob Dust himself :) And we'll start with a song produced, mixed and mastered by Rob for N-Frequency, the electropop duo formed by Nicky Schulschenk & Rocco Schulschenk, from Nordhausen, Germany. Taken from the EP of the same name, released 4 September 2020, 'Perfect World' is a really great track, highly recommended if you haven't heard it yet :)

Beyond Border - Megamix 2022
I've been following Beyond Border almost since day 1 (late 2019) and the synthpop duo formed by Kai Vincenz Németh & Michael Deiters - now a trio for live performances with the addition of keyboardist K.T. Habel - just keeps getting better and better with each release. This Megamix is my little contribution to this awesome band. It includes 11 tracks and runs for almost 23 minutes, I hope you'll enjoy it :)
Technique - Burning (Extended Version)
Taken from their 3rd album 'Connected', released 14 December 2018, 'Burning' is a really cool track by Technique, the Brazilian synthpop band formed by Alex Tibaldi, Marcio Vaez & Robert Tibaldi. The version here is my own extended remix.
PS: You probably won't play 'Rock, Paper, Scissors' the same way after watching this video :)
When In Rome - The Promise (Extended Remastered Version)
Taken from their self-titled debut album, released in 1988, 'The Promise' is a nice track by When In Rome, the English synthpop/new wave group, which originally consisted of vocalists Clive Farrington and Andrew Mann, and keyboardist Michael Floreale. The trio disbanded in 1990 and two bands are now using the same name: one formed in 2006 by Michael ('When In Rome II') and one formed in 2009 by Clive & Andrew ('When In Rome UK'). This is my own extended mix of the recently released remastered version.
TOAL - Unreal World (ES23 Remix)
Taken from their first album 'Ritus Ex Silenti', released 18 September 2020, 'Unreal World' is a catchy track by TOAL, the German dark synthpop band formed by Rob Gee (aka Heiko Lachmann), Luzi Lacole (aka Nicole Linde-Strehl), Tian (aka Hendrik Strehl) & Michael Meyer. The version here is the brilliant remix by ES23, aka Daniel Patschkowski from Belgium.
Nexus VI - Resurrection (People Theatre's Grave Mix)
Time to end our People Theatre special with this great remix of 'Resurrection', taken from the album 'RemixLust', released 10 January 2012. A great track by Nexus VI, the Russian EBM/Industrial band founded in 2001 by Alexey Pugachev, aka Neuromancer (he passed away on January 2014).
Sara Noxx - Die Liebe (Heartbeat Mix By People Theatre)
To end the series of People Theatre remixes in style (there will be one last remix tomorrow), here's a great synthpop track by Sara Noxx, aka Britt Rommel, German musician and member of the band Essexx. Taken from the album 'Entre Quatre Yeuxx', released 20 February 2015, 'Die Liebe' is a soaring piece, mixing lyrics in English, French and German.
Minerve - Save Me (People Theatre Remix)
Taken from the album 'Repleased', released 30 September 2011, 'Save Me' is a great melancholic track by Minerve, the German synthpop band founded in 2002 by Daniel Wollatz & Mathias Thürk (and joined in 2006 by Andreas Wollatz).

Daybehavior - Silent Dawn (People Theatre Remix)
Taken from their 3rd album 'Follow That Car!', released 14 September 2012, 'Silent Dawn' is a swaying, rich electropop composition by Daybehavior, the Swedish band formed by Carl Hammar & Tommy Arell in Summer '93 and joined a little more than one year later by Paulinda Crescentini. This eclectic, dreamy mix of melodic synths and delightfully magnetic vocals of Paulinda is being highlighted once again by another great People Theatre remix.
Vaylon - My Burden (People Theatre's Heritage Remix)
Taken from the EP of the same name, released 31 March 2014, 'My Burden' is a great track by Vaylon, the Scandinavian synthpop band formed by Ole Ulrich Jensen & Dan Beck from Denmark (and joined later by Fredrik Sigeback from Sweden). The trio is being remixed with his usual talent by Peter Rainman, adding one more People Theatre remix to the (huge) collection of existing mixes :)

Taken from the EP of the same name, released 24 January 2014, 'Sorry' is a great melancholic song by NamNamBulu, the synthpop/futurepop duo created by Henrik Iversen & Vasi Vallis. This wonderful track becomes even better with another fantastic remix by People Theatre.
Foretaste - Alone With People (Theatre) Around
Released 12 February 2012, 'Alone With People Around' is a song by Foretaste, the French synthpop duo formed by Sylvie (Creature_XX) and Pierre (Creature_XY). This excellent track becomes downright grandiose with the help of their compatriot Peter (Creature_XZ ?)
Apoptygma Berzerk - Major Tom (Coming Home) (People Theatre Remix)
Taken from the EP of the same name, released 27 September 2013, 'Major Tom (Coming Home)' is a brilliant track by Apoptygma Berzerk, the synthpop/futurepop band from Sarpsborg, Norway; founded in 1989 by Stephan Groth and Jon Erik Martinsen. The original version released in 1983 by Peter Schilling was already great, but this cover enhanced by another fantastic People Theatre remix is simply a must have :)
Matthias Feat. Mark Bebb - Hold Me (People Theatre Remix)
Released 28 February 2020, 'Hold Me' is a catchy synthpop track from Matthias (Matt Danforth's solo project) and Mark R. Bebb, singer from the electronic bands Shelter & FORM. This talented duo becomes a trio with another brilliant remix by People Theatre.

Taken from the EP of the same name, released 4 March 2021, 'We Are Dreamers' is a great collaboration between Elektrostaub, aka Patrick Knoch from Germany, Patrik Hansson (Vanguard) from Sweden, and Peter Rainman (People Theatre) from France. Not sure if they're all dreamers, but they're all talented for sure :)

Taken from the EP of the same name, released 25 July 2019, 'All You'll Ever Be' is a catchy dance track by Supercraft, the Norwegian synthpop duo formed by Egil Thomas Hansen & Geir Arne Johansen. A great track, enhanced by another fantastic People Theatre remix.
U96 + Wolfgang Flür – Zukunftsmusik (People Theatre Remix)

This great electronic title is being remixed by People Theatre, so needless to say it's a killer track :)
Machine Made Pleasure - Nevermore (People Theatre's Try Mix)
Taken from 'Danceland Graffiti EP', released 19 March 2022, 'Nevermore' is a great track by Machine Made Pleasure, the Synthpop project by Barry Hammers & Randy Fox from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. And just like all the other tracks posted this week, this is another brilliant remix by People Theatre :)
Solitary Experiments - Every Time (People Theatre Remix)
Taken from the double album 'Future Tense' released 26 October 2018, 'Every Time' is a catchy track from the German futurepop pioneers Solitary Experiments. The version here is the People Theatre remix...and when one of my fav' band is being remixed by my fav' remixer, the result can only be good :)
Taken from 'Hearts & Minds EP', released 26 October 2018, 'Mine' is a great track by Hidden Souls, the Argentinian dark synthpop/futurepop band founded in Buenos Aires in 2005 by Leo Carden, Guillermo Pardo Neira & Alejandro Visoná.

VNV Nation Special Week - Day 7/7: When Is The Future?
It's already time for the last video of our VNV Nation Special Week and we'll end up this series with another track taken from the album 'Noire'. With its regular beats and futurepop elements, 'When Is The Future?' does not only invoke a night’s stroll of a “stranger in a strange land”, but also describes our never-ending search for answers while time seems to run by too fast. I hope you've enjoyed this special and look out for another one soon :)
VNV Nation Special Week - Day 6/7:Beloved
Taken from the album 'Futureperfect', released 28 January 2002, 'Beloved' is the highlight of the album. Beautiful layers of strings fill the air, followed by sparse instrumentation that slowly builds tension through the steady addition of one element after another. After nearly 4 minutes of buildup, release comes via the absolutely sublime melody of the chorus. It’s a more personal track from VNV Nation, lamenting the loss of a loved one. Both the lyrics and the words perfectly capture the essence of a sad situation tinged with hope and optimism. Painful lyrics about loss soon segue into happiness over their time together and their eventual unification, while the music simultaneously shifts from anxious, slightly ominous rumblings to soaring melodies full of catharsis and positivity.
Taken from the album 'Noire', 'Collide' is starting with some ominous synth sounds going over into dark mooded melody with that strong voice of Ronan. Another great electropop ballad from VNV Nation with a powerful synth melody and memorable lines like “for all things to exist they must collide.”
In the middle of their career (28 January 2002), VNV Nation released Futureperfect, a very different album in comparison to their older albums. The band took futurepop's trance influence to new heights, by unleashing a full force of frenzied synthesizers and 'Electronaut' is a good example of that, an instrumental track full of loud, catchy, electronic riffs, one of my fav' for sure :)
