The Sol of Synth-Pop

06/15/2026

UPCOMING BROADCAST SCHEDULE: PLEASE READ

Hello, Synth-Pop fans! 😃

As many of you know, my podcast, The Sol of The Unexplained, my public speaking engagements tied into my podcast, and my two live music projects keep me very busy throughout the year. Especially during the summer months.

And this year my summer schedule is REALLY full, so it's keeping me busier than ever.

The downside to all of this, of course, means that I will be doing fewer radio broadcasts during the summer. 😔

Because of this, I thought I would share the dates that I will be doing new broadcasts for both The Sol of Synth-Pop, and Church of Sol.

Here's the official broadcast schedule for June through August........

JUNE 2026:

Sunday, 28 June - Church of Sol - Show 025

JULY 2026:

Wednesday, 1 July - Special 9th Birthday Broadcast for Radio plus - רדיו פלוס

Sunday, 26 July - Church of Sol - Show 026

AUGUST 2026:

Sunday, 16 August - The Sol of Synth-Pop: Summer 2026 Celebration

Sunday, 30 August - Church of Sol - Show 027

The key takeaway from the above dates is that there will be just ONE new Church of Sol broadcast in June. and only ONE in July, as well.

I will be traveling outside the United States for three weeks beginning July 1, and will not have access to the internet for most of that time. So please expect extended delays regarding music submissions between today, and the third week of July.

See you on 28 June! 😎

NEXT BROADCAST: NINTH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION - 24 MAY -

Hello, Synth-Pop fans! 😃

This week, on 20 May, The Sol of Synth-Pop turns NINE!!!

To commemorate this special occasion, I will be hosting a special broadcast THIS SUNDAY (24 May), to honour and highlight some of the amazing artists and songs that have helped the Sol of Synth-Pop reach this wonderful achievement.

You'll hear world-class tracks representing the very BEST of the indie and legacy Synth-Pop, Synthwave, and Electro-Pop genres from 2017 to 2026.

I'll be spinning memorable tunes from: Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, Tears for Fears, Men Without Hats, Michael Oakley, Darwinmcd Music, Breathe Of My Leaves, Martyn Bailey Music, EmT, MORE, The Grey Disorder, Cannons, Hyperfield, cosmicity, Kon Kan, christopher ANTON, MELØ, Jay Wires, Howard Jones, Duran Duran, Lakeside X, isunraynz, NINA, Covered in Snow, and a few surprises that you'll just have to tune in, and find out for yourself. 😊

There WILL be a Live Chat during the broadcast, so please feel free to drop by and say hello. There will be Tacos, Margaritas, Churros, and good times aplenty, so don't be a stranger!

I want to issue a sincere thank you to Oren Amram and Arik Talmor at Radio plus - רדיו פלוס for making this occasion possible. The Sol of Synth-Pop wouldn't exist without the support of Oren and Arik. I'm forever grateful to them for continuing to believe in me. 💙

And a VERY big thank you to ALL of the listeners that continue to support the show, and all of the artists whose music I play. There would be no show if it weren't for the immense talent that's out there in the international synth community.

It has truly been an honour for me to play the music of so many indie artists for the past nine years. Some of the best and brightest talent in the world has been featured on my show over the years. I'm constantly in awe of the music that comes my way.

So for that reason, and many others, this celebration is also YOUR anniversary celebration.

In that spirit, I genuinely hope you'll join me in celebrating ALL of you this Sunday. ❤

See ya on Sunday! 😎

BROADCAST DAY: JIMM'S BIRTHDAY SHOW

Happy Sunday, Synth-Pop fans! 😃

I'm back on the air today to bring you the unmitigated train wreck that I bring you every year at the end of April..... my annual Birthday Show. 😱

This is when I light the rule book on fire, and toss it out the window for the ENTIRE three hours of the broadcast. That's right. Anything and everything is fair game when it comes to my song selection for today's show.

Therefore, I will not be revealing the playlist prior to the broadcast.

Of course, there will be plenty of Synth-Pop, Electro-Pop, and all the genres that I typically play. However, there will also be songs that are WAY out of character for my show.

Disco? Maybe. Country? Perhaps. Metal? Most likely. And everything in between...... maybe. You'll just have to tune in and find out. 😊

Suffice to say, there will be something for almost every music taste during today's show. Almost.

Due to this being my Birthday weekend, I will be spending the afternoon and evening with my family. So there will NOT be a Live Chat during today's broadcast.

I will return to my regular format in May. But today..... the order of the day is chaos and mayhem. 😁

You can livestream the madness via the following link:

www.radioplus.co.il

Local start times for today's show are as follows.......

Israel - 00:00
Central Europe - 23:00
England - 22:00
New York - 17:00
Chicago - 16:00
SLC - 15:00
Los Angeles - 14:00

Enjoy the show! 😎
