Synthzone & DJ Rayzor: Dropping Retro Synth Magic Like It’s 1985!

Synthzone isn't just another music show, it's a neon-soaked broadcast built entirely around retro-futuristic sound, the specific kind that feels like it's beaming in live from another decade entirely.

Synthzone: where the past meets the future, weekly

Launched on May 29, 2016, Synthzone started as a live broadcast and grew steadily into one of the most established and recognizable Synthwave radio shows around. Hosted and produced entirely by DJ "Rayzor" (Raymond Garcia), the show covers the very best of retro-futuristic sound out there: Synthwave, Vaporwave, Outrun, Dark Synth, City Pop, Future Funk, and the occasional Lo-Fi track. If it sounds like an '80s arcade soundtrack or feels like a ride in a neon-lit DeLorean, it's fair game for the show, regardless of which specific subgenre it technically falls under.

Originally a monthly broadcast, demand pushed Synthzone into a weekly format. Think classic '80s radio energy filtered through a digital-age structure, where the host isn't just spinning tracks but actively championing the underground names that deserve wider attention.

Meet DJ Rayzor

At the very center of the show is DJ "Rayzor," who leans fully and unapologetically into the persona of a DJ broadcasting straight from 1985. His passion for retro-future sound comes through clearly in every episode, and every set feels like a mixtape pulled straight from a synth-powered alternate timeline where the '80s never actually ended.

Rayzor isn't only a voice behind a studio microphone either, he shows up regularly at events and festivals, making sure retro fans get their proper dose of nostalgia in person as well as online. Whether he's spinning vinyl at a club or working a crowd at a synthwave festival, the energy stays consistent from one set to the next.

The collaboration: DJ Rayzor, NewRetro.net, and Radio New Retro

Given Synthzone's steady momentum over the years, a partnership with NewRetro.net made a lot of natural sense for both sides. NewRetro.net has built its own identity around Synthwave culture, retro-futuristic streetwear, classic '80s aesthetics, and music built for late-night city drives, which lines up naturally with what Synthzone has been doing on air.

The result is Radio New Retro, a dedicated online radio station from NewRetro.net built entirely around nonstop synth sound around the clock. Rayzor's exclusive mix is now live on New Retro FM on YouTube, bringing Synthzone's sound together with NewRetro.net's aesthetic under one roof.
