The Synth-God Collection (Ode To Mario Mathy)

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED BY MARIO MATHY In the mid-80s, I was a DJ at the infamous dance café "The Dreams Club," later renamed "Discotheek El Cid" in Zonhoven, Belgium. One day, a very charismatic young man walked in, instantly standing out with a pink headband he wore. He handed me two singles: Jambo Sana and Liberty. His stage name was Mario Mathy. I played those records endlessly, and they became the foundation for the best time of my life. Little did I know that he would later become world-famous, earning titles like "Synthesizer King" or even "Synth-God." With 11 synthesizers, he crafted some of the most beautiful synthpop of his era. Back then, Mario made the unexpected decision to stop making music entirely and unplugged his creative outlet. Years later, his wife, Lindsey posted a video on YouTube, marking the first step towards a new chapter: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsmxJh6ITc0
