Scandroid Releases “Shout” (DJ Stranger Remix)

Scandroid’s ’80s inspired synthpop cover of Tears For Fears #1 hit, “Shout,” transforms into a danceable future house remix from DJ Stranger.

“I started a remix to the original version of “Shout” by Tears For Fears a long time ago, but the original vocals weren’t working for my mix. I postponed the remix for a long time and then one day I accidentally found Scandroid’s cover of Shout on YouTube and I really liked it. I immediately realized that Scandroid’s vocals were exactly what I needed to finish my remix. I completed the remix and sent the demo to the FiXT label. They really liked it and we came to an agreement to release it officially!”

Scandroid Premieres Instrumental Retro Synth Single, “Oblivia”

Scandroid has released “Oblivia” an instrumental synthwave single from his upcoming sophomore album, Monochrome.

“Scandroid promptly returns to original content with a gorgeous instrumental piece, “Oblivia.” Following a gentle dreamwave melody reminiscent of VHS logo themes, Scandroid introduces new layers at a rapid pace, eventually building an opaque composition that deftly withdraws and advances to ensure its many elements remain meaningful for the song’s duration.” – IronSkullet.com

Go behind the scenes of “Oblivia” and watch a studio session video of Klayton building the track in his impressive synth room.

“Born from a demo I originally titled “Sitcom Suicide.” I only kept the intro progression and then dove into my synth room and had fun throwing down riffs.” – Klayton

“Oblivia” appears on Scandroid’s upcoming sophomore album Monochrome, available October 27th, 2017.

Scandroid Interview With EchoSynthetic

Following the synthpop stylings of “Writing’s On The Wall” and the post-punk spirit of “Everywhere You Go,” Scandroid turns to the chill side with a beautiful low-key creation on his latest single, “I Remember You.” Powered by heartfelt lyrics, Klayton uses gorgeously solemn synth tones to build an introspective environment around his vocal performance, reaching out to listeners with an intimate, semi-whispered singing style.

Echosynthetic is all about electronic music…whether it be synthwave, synthpop, EBM, industrial, or anything in between. They provide reviews of albums, both new and old, news, and coverage of live shows. Their mission is to get more synths into more ears AND to provide an even platform for all of the artists they cover.

Echosynthetic put together an exclusive interview with Klayton around the sophomore Scandroid album, Monochrome, out today. Preview the feature below and then jump over to Echosynthetic for the full feature!

Echosynthetic Talks with Scandroid About Monochrome:
Friday the 13th saw Scandroid share his take on the Michael Jackson classic, Thriller. It works on two levels…the first being a well timed cover for the Halloween season. The second sees it as the last tease before Scandroid’s sophomore record, Monochrome, releases this week! The VHS distorted video, filled with smoke and dancing robots, is well matched to the futuristic yet pleasingly retro reimagining of one of the biggest singles of all time. If you weren’t excited for Monochrome before now, Thrillershould have you read to take a bite (pun firmly intended) when it hits on October 27th. For now you can snag the cover over at Bandcamp for the low price of $1.00. Don’t forget that Monochrome is available for pre-order HERE, including CD and limited edition cassette (for you physical media junkies!)

Thanks so much for talking to us! Just in case there’s someone out there who isn’t already familiar with Scandroid, what can you tell us about the project?

80s. New Wave. I lived through the 80s and although metal was what I started playing when I picked up my first instrument, New Wave was the sound I wanted to make at some point in my life. Here it is.

Your self-titled debut was an immediate hit. Were you expecting so much success right out of the gate?

I wasn’t. I generally don’t put much expectation on anything I release because you’re setting yourself up for heartbreak if you do. I just make what I want to make, put it into the world and move on. I was pleasantly surprised to find so many people understanding Scandroid and embracing the sound.
