Midnight Gems - Your Free Mix-Tape Show - E 11 "Simply The Synths"

Every Day A Different Story (1).jpg

For those of you that are new to my MidNight Gems series. Welcome to this nightly trip on which we will uncover & recover some amazing songs & covers.

Not gonna ride the tribute wave, I have only four words We Don´t Need Another Ike, but Tina will be missed.

Nope, not gonna do it. Not my style, not my ultimate hero. Still damn that Granny could rock. Let's do it in Midnight Gems style and let the not so famous speak up.

Jessi Frey - We Dont Need Another Hero

If you did not do already it´s time to hit the headphones, this song has it all. Beats, synths, and celestial voices.

KLANGPHONICS feat. Anna Metko - Holocene

Salut, Ca va wtf is it with me and French music, it´s not mega exotic but I am so often captured by them. Could it be the influence of my moms love for chansons or all those holidays I spend in Bordeaux?? IDK but I know I like CLIO!

CLIO - T'as vu

I think the French just do not move that fast and are still stuck in that lovely synth-sound vibe from the 80s.

Fishbach - Mortel

This album by the Aviators is why you dear reader are now being synthi-vibed tonight. But at least I got out of that French loop de loop.

Aviators - A Castle on the Sea

If I get into that synth vibe you know these guys are coming, kings of dark synth wave songs. I will close my eyes for the next 7 minutes, wake me up when September (or this song)ends.

Perturbator - Naked Tongues (feat. Isabella Goloversic)

Hey, I am still wild awake and not in America, but I guess we are also not in Kansas anymore. Seems like these guys have been around for the last 20 years, and they still sound like an 80s New Romantics band.

Soulsavers & Dave Gahan - The Last Time ( Eric Lymon Rework )

This is my Gem for tonight, and it does not even include that synth vibe. But it´s dark and dangerous....and leading toward the light...if you are lucky.

Chris Eckman - Who Will Light Your Path

Sticking to that slightly spooky style I came across this jewel, can´t remember if I ever heard it before but I want it like that.

Meg Myers - Desire

In the end, we all will be ghost, or leave into the light, whatever it is we all want to leave behind something...before we turn to nothing. Some leave a lot, some leave a little...but we all leave.

Riddle Me This

Guess What,My Riddle was solved once again, so you will have to wait till Tuesday if you want that $1 Boost.

What the fluff is midnight gems?

Somewhere lost in time, trying to escape out of the rabbit hole back into the rat race there is a vacuum..... that´s the place where midnight gems are found.

My Midnight Gems will try to uncover & recover those beautiful songs that nobody ever noticed or might have been forgotten.

Who the fluff am I?

Being a former DJ playing about everything and having an uncompleted study of radio journalism. I have been wanting to do this for years...Thought about it many nights and guess now it´s time to finally take it to the streets.

Hope you enjoyed this well-known wave of fantastic music and that you still feel like joining me on the next Midnight Gems Session coming soon.

I know you do and since I found out I often check them out (although I have been crazy busy with non keyboard life these last couple of weeks), you got an inspiring taste. I will drop by soon (as soon as things return to new normal)
