I am planning my first year anniversary episode of Doug Lynner’s World of Noise radio show and I need the help of bands, composers and performers whose music is influenced by ’80s synthpop music. I’m planning a radio show of recent music (last few years) influenced by ’80s synthpop. I will be accepting music only from the composers and/or performers of the songs.

If you are a fan of a song or group that you think would be perfect for my show, please let the composer or performer know about my show so they can contact me.

What I need for the show are the songs (MP3 files, 192 bit rate or higher), your explanation of how the music is influenced by ’80s synthpop, a brief bio and your contact information.

If you would like your music featured on Doug Lynner’s World of Noise, send inquiries, your song files and information to worldofnoise@flashbackalternatives.com . The show is preproduced and airs on October 8, 2009 so don’t wait too long before responding.
