..Synthetik FM is a project dedicated to the genre of modern synthpop.
It is the opinion of many that modern pop and electronic music in the mainstream has reached a point of stagnation, much of it overproduced, and under-talented. Electronic music, in particular, gets a bad rep ... as being dull, boring, repetetive music.
Synthetik FM flies squarely in the face of these concepts. We aim to bring back the notion of quality vocal electronic pop music. There are those who consider this to be "80's music", but Synthetik FM believes that quality music should not be pigenholed and limited to one decade in our history.
The Synthetik FM formula is simple: 100% electronic instrumentation, catchy pop hooks, and strong lead vocals. No fancy stuff, no boring repetetive loops, nothing but pure 80's inspired electronic pop which is addicting enough that you will begin to hear it in your sleep.
B.C. is the alias of Bobby Clark, a musician from Knoxville, Tennessee, who draws inspiration from the synthpop stylings of 80's groups like Erasure, Depeche Mode, the Human League, and New Order, and the ambient electronic soundscapes of Vangelis, Enigma, Enya, and Jean Michel Jarre.
B.C. has been composing music as a hobby for about 14 years now. It all started with very humble beginnings, in 1988, with a few jam sessions with his friend Timothy Cabbage, involving a Casio SK-1, Yamaha DX-100, Yamaha PSS-470, and two tape cassette recorders.
Throughout the years, the equipment improved, and so did the recording techniques. In 2000, with the acquisition of a Philips CD recorder and a laptop provided by his fiancee (*smile*) the quality of the recordings improved, and the debut B.C. CD "2000 B.C." was released on mp3.com
B.C.'s discovery of the mp3.com portal proved to be of paramount importance. A chance search for "Bands which sound like Erasure" proved to be very informative, and proved to be a real inspiration. A direct result was the launching of Synthpopalooza Radio, an online radio station dedicated to playing the best of the Modern Synthpop genre. It also led to the formation of the Synthetik FM project.
Currently, these bands have been remixed by Synthetik FM: Red Flag, Empire State Human, NURVIS, Blind Before Dawn, Freezepop, Plastic Orgasm People, Spray, Venus Hum, and Seven Words.
