Full disclosure. Here at Synthtube, we are denkitribe fanboys. This man-machine from Japan picks up ANY piece of gear, and proceeds in realtime to create absolutely stunningly beautiful electronic music with it - every time, without fail. Here's a video of him using a BlipTronic 5000, a FIFTY DOLLAR Synthesizer, hooked up ...

This is a nice little demo of a Rhodes Mk1 vs a Nord Electro 3. This kid playing in the video (YT User : MathaeusBech) has some serious chops, hope he keeps up his skills - with a Nord Electro, and an EP with a rep like the Rhodes - ...

We received a submission from reader "Synthjunk" linking to his (her?) video on YT, and boy oh boy were we glad that this is our first submission of the New Year. This is a brilliant example of utilising all the best of old gear with modern recording techniques to produce a ...

HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM SYNTHTUBE! :) Hope you're all having an AWESOME party time! In the spirit of a Tech-Happy-New-Year, our NYE Post is none other than Mi-Sex's "Computer Games". ROCK ON!

Way back in the 1980's, when we here at SynthTube were in our formative years, the world was a surprisingly different place. The Cold War was still going on, and fear of nuclear annihilation at the hands of the "Evil" Soviet empire was a daily threat that everyone was more ...

As stated just days ago, one of the great things about when one of our posts here at SynthTube goes "viral", we enjoy a large influx of new readers. Quite often this influx involves the sort of people who we know like this kind of blog, and more often are ...

Wurlitzer Electronic Pianos were some of the first electrified keyboards on the market - while not "Synths" in their own right, they represented a shift from conventional piano design towards electronic pickups and design enough to be classified as some of the earliest "synths", in the sense of an electronic ...

First of all, we'd just like to welcome any new readers brought in by BoingBoing and the "Chicken Suit Busker" video. One of the great things about getting a popular blog hit like that to us is that it makes the wider internet community aware of our presence, and we ...

Nuff said. Click on the image to watch the video.

Since our post on "Chickenman" some readers have pointed out that the musician in question was not playing an ACUTAL pianica, and in fact he was playing a HAMMOND MELODICA. Well. For all those Pianica Purists, here is a classic performance involving a Pianica that we think you can all ...

Sometimes a synth is nothing more than a keyboard connected to a human beings' mouth. In this case it's the instrument known as a "Pianica", which is a breath-controlled keyboard that's basically a breath-powered synthesizer. In this particular instance, we see a rather musically talented guy playing the pianica, bass ...

Ok, so it's a trend here at Synthtube. We're posting more stuff that is not necessarily 100% Synthesizer related, directly. However, we're sure you'll agree that something like what we're presenting today deserves to be mentioned to fans of synthesizer-based music. Some may be familiar with the pastime/profession of "Beatboxing" - the ...

In our time here at Synthtube, we've come across a crazy Polish fellow who on Youtube simply describes himself as "Jexus". To say that he is a collector and maestro of synthesizers would be an understatement. A short peruse of his website indicates that this man has made a lifelong PASSION ...

The Juno-6 is the Roland Synthesizer that was the predecessor to the quintessential Juno - 60. Not much more needs to be said here, other than this was an analog beast that to this day turns heads. Check out this great demo by YT user 'vintagesynthlover'.

A motley group of kids on Youtube calling themselves "Envelope Generator", with what looks to be about six or seven synths, including some VERY collectible analog/VA ones (I spotted : A Juno-60, an ARPAXXE, a MicroKORG). In any case, they put together this great little medley of popular 80's synth ...

Ladytron was formed in 1999 by a group of musicians from diverse backgrounds in Liverpool, UK. Their style is quite diverse depending on which of the four members of the band write the song - however, it can accurately be described as an evolution of the vintage "Synthpop" sound incorporating elements ...

Frequently featured YT user, "Gattobus" is back with a spot-on rendition of Jean Michel Jarre's "Oxygene-2". Mr. Gattobus crafts this wonderful cover in REALtime, with the help of a Nord G2, an Access Virus Ti and a Moog LP for filter FX. Enjoy...

1980 fictitious band "Silicon Teens" (the creation of Mute Records, a-la Genki Rockets, Gorillaz), released this cover of "Let's Dance" in 1979. For all the info on the story of "Silicon Teens", read their Wikipedia Page. Meanwhile, enjoy their cover of "Let's Dance".

Some may find it hard to believe, but here at Synthtube, we do actually have an appreciation for more than just Synthesizer-based music. In a break with tradition, and because we think that enough time has passed now since the media circus, Synthtube has decided to post a (large) tribute to ...
