About Us

Synth-Pop, Electropop and the Chrome Revival

ElectroPop.News covers synth pop, electropop, hyperpop and the synthesiser tradition behind them. We publish explanatory journalism about how music actually gets made, released and paid for, rather than press-release coverage of what came out this week.

We explain the machines. Why frequency modulation produced tones subtractive synthesis could not, what an arpeggiator is actually doing, and why the analogue-versus-digital argument is narrower and more interesting than it is usually made to sound.

How we work

Articles here are written by Kit Hargreaves, who covers this beat for ElectroPop.News. Pieces are researched and written rather than aggregated, and where a claim rests on a specific event, statistic or decision we check it against primary reporting before it publishes. We do not run articles built from a single aggregator.

We do not fabricate interviews, quotes or releases. If we have not spoken to someone, we do not imply that we have. Where a piece is analysis rather than reporting, it reads as analysis.

Who publishes this

ElectroPop.News is part of the MW3.biz music network. MW3.biz connects independent and grassroots artists with music curators and publications, and supports artists self-managing their own careers. Coverage decisions here are editorial and are not determined by whether an artist has used that platform.

If you are an artist looking to promote a release, the platform is at mw3.biz.
