This week's fun and insighful episode of Synthetic Dreams features Dutch electronic duo Weval.

Fresh off the release of their fourth studio album, CHOROPHOBIA, on Ninja Tune, Harm and Merijn join us to talk about crafting their most club-focused, danceable record yet — full of driving beats, hypnotic acid lines, and that unmistakable Weval warmth.

Despite its title meaning “fear of dancing,” CHOROPHOBIA is an album that practically dares you not to move. In this candid and inspiring conversation, we explore how the project came to life, the irony behind its name, and how Weval’s sound has evolved since their early days.

I'm thrilled to be joined today by legendary music journalist and Art of Noise co-founder Paul Morley, to talk about The Art Of This — a new offshoot, descendant, and subset of the pioneering electronic group.

Art of Noise helped reshape the sound of modern music, becoming one of the most sampled acts in history

Paul has reunited with fellow founders Gary Langan and J. J. Jeczalik for The Art Of This, debuting live at London’s ICA on Saturday 18 October. The performance will feature words, music, and immersive visuals, brought to life through a 360° spatial sound system.

It’s a rare return to the stage for this influential collective — and a chance to hear the past, present, and future of electronic music collide.
